"
I
think
,
"
she
said
calmly
,
"
that
I
am
the
grandmother
of
the
man
who
is
currently
Speaker
of
the
Georgia
House
of
Representatives
.
A
man
who
loves
his
relatives
,
Mr.
Dolan
.
Especially
his
older
relatives
.
"
The
effortful
smile
dropped
off
his
face
the
way
that
writing
comes
off
a
blackboard
swiped
with
a
wet
sponge
.
I
saw
uncertainty
,
the
possibility
that
he
was
being
bluffed
,
the
fear
that
he
was
not
,
and
a
certain
dawning
logical
assumption
:
it
would
be
easy
enough
to
check
,
she
must
know
that
,
ergo
she
was
telling
the
truth
.
Suddenly
I
began
to
laugh
,
and
although
the
sound
was
rusty
,
it
was
right
.

I
was
remembering
how
many
times
Percy
Wetmore
had
threatened
us
with
his
connections
,
back
in
the
bad
old
days
.
Now
,
for
the
first
time
in
my
long
,
long
life
,
such
a
threat
was
being
made
again
...
but
this
time
it
was
being
made
on
my
behalf
.
Brad
Dolan
looked
at
me
,
glaring
,
then
looked
back
at
her
.
"
I
mean
it
,
"
Elaine
said
.
"
At
first
I
thought
I
'd
just
let
you
be
--
I
'm
old
,
and
that
seemed
easiest
.
But
when
my
friends
are
threatened
and
abused
,
I
do
not
just
let
be
.
Now
get
out
of
here
.
And
without
one
more
word
.
"
His
lips
moved
like
those
of
a
fish
--
oh
,
how
badly
he
wanted
to
say
that
one
more
word
(
perhaps
the
one
that
rhymes
with
witch
)
.
He
did
n't
,
though
.
He
gave
me
a
final
look
,
and
then
strode
past
her
and
out
into
the
hall
.

I
let
out
my
breath
in
a
long
,
ragged
sigh
as
Elaine
set
the
tray
down
in
front
of
me
and
then
set
herself
down
across
from
me
.
"
Is
your
grandson
really
Speaker
of
the
House
?
"
I
asked
.
"
He
really
is
.
"
"
Then
what
are
you
doing
here
?
"
