"
I
hate
calls
like
this
,
"
I
said
to
Janice
as
we
drove
to
the
little
house
where
the
Mooreses
had
spent
most
of
their
marriage
.
"
So
does
everyone
,
honey
,
"
she
said
,
and
patted
my
hand
.
"
We
'll
bear
up
under
it
,
and
so
will
she
.
"
"
I
hope
so
.
"
We
found
Melinda
in
the
sitting
room
,
planted
in
a
bright
slant
of
unseasonably
warm
October
sun
,
and
my
first
shocked
thought
was
that
she
had
lost
ninety
pounds
.
She
had
n't
,
of
course
--
if
she
'd
lost
that
much
weight
,
she
hardly
would
have
been
there
at
all
--
but
that
was
my
brain
's
initial
reaction
to
what
my
eyes
were
reporting
.
Her
face
had
fallen
away
to
show
the
shape
of
the
underlying
skull
,
and
her
skin
was
as
white
as
parchment
.
There
were
dark
circles
under
her
eyes
.
And
it
was
the
first
time
I
ever
saw
her
in
her
rocker
when
she
did
n't
have
a
lapful
of
sewing
or
afghan
squares
or
rags
for
braiding
into
a
rug
.
She
was
just
sitting
there
.
Like
a
person
in
a
train-station
.
"
Melinda
,
"
my
wife
said
warmly
.
I
think
she
was
as
shocked
as
I
was
--
more
,
perhaps
--
but
she
hid
it
splendidly
,
as
some
women
seem
able
to
do
.
She
went
to
Melinda
,
dropped
on
one
knee
beside
the
rocking
chair
in
which
the
warden
's
wife
sat
,
and
took
one
of
her
hands
.
As
she
did
,
my
eye
happened
on
the
blue
hearthrug
by
the
fireplace
.
It
occurred
to
me
that
it
should
have
been
the
shade
of
tired
old
limes
,
because
now
this
room
was
just
another
version
of
the
Green
Mile
.
"
I
brought
you
some
tea
,
"
Jan
said
,
"
the
kind
I
put
up
myself
.
It
's
a
nice
sleepy
tea
.
I
've
left
it
in
the
kitchen
.
"
"
Thank
you
so
much
,
darlin
,
"
Melinda
said
.
Her
voice
sounded
old
and
rusty
"
How
you
feeling
,
dear
?
"
my
wife
asked
.
"
Better
,
"
Melinda
said
in
her
rusty
,
grating
voice
.
"
Not
so
's
I
want
to
go
out
to
a
barn
dance
,
but
at
least
there
's
no
pain
today
.
They
give
me
some
pills
for
the
headaches
.
Sometimes
they
even
work
.
