I
'm
with
you
,
"
Mrs.
Reppler
said
briefly
.
We
were
all
together
by
the
meat
counter
,
all
but
Bud
Brown
.
He
had
thanked
us
for
the
invitation
and
then
declined
it
.
He
would
not
leave
his
place
in
the
market
,
he
said
,
but
added
in
a
remarkably
gentle
tone
of
voice
that
he
did
n't
blame
Ollie
for
doing
so
.
An
unpleasant
,
sweetish
aroma
was
beginning
to
drift
up
from
the
white
enamel
case
now
,
a
smell
that
reminded
me
of
the
time
our
freezer
went
on
the
fritz
while
we
were
spending
a
week
on
the
Cape
.
Perhaps
,
I
thought
,
it
was
the
smell
of
spoiling
meat
that
had
driven
Mr.
McVey
over
to
Mrs.
Carmody
's
team
.

expiation
It
's
expiation
we
want
to
think
about
now
!
We
have
been
scourged
with
whips
and
scorpions
!
We
have
been
punished
for
delving
into
secrets
forbidden
by
God
of
old
!
We
have
seen
the
lips
of
the
earth
open
!
We
have
seen
the
obscenities
of
nightmare
!
The
rock
will
not
hide
them
,
the
dead
tree
gives
no
shelter
!
And
how
will
it
end
?
What
will
stop
it
?
"
"
Expiation
!
"
shouted
good
old
Myron
LaFleur
.
"
Expiation
...
expiation
...
"
They
whispered
it
uncertainly
.
"
Let
me
hear
you
say
it
like
you
mean
it
!
"
Mrs.
Carmody
shouted
.
The
veins
stood
out
on
her
neck
in
bulging
cords
.
Her
voice
was
cracking
and
hoarse
now
,
but
still
full
of
power
.
And
it
occurred
to
me
that
it
was
the
mist
that
had
given
her
that
power-the
power
to
cloud
men
's
minds
,
to
make
a
particularly
apt
pun-just
as
it
had
taken
away
the
sun
's
power
from
the
rest
of
us
.
Before
,
she
had
been
nothing
but
a
mildly
eccentric
old
woman
with
an
antiques
store
in
a
town
that
was
lousy
with
antiques
stores
.
Nothing
but
an
old
woman
with
a
few
stuffed
animals
in
the
back
room
and
a
reputation
for
(
that
witch
...
that
cunt
)
folk
medicine
.
It
was
said
she
could
find
water
with
an
applewood
stick
,
that
she
could
charm
warts
,
and
sell
you
a
cream
that
would
fade
freckles
to
shadows
of
their
former
selves
.
I
had
even
heard-was
it
from
old
Bill
Giosti
?
-
that
Mrs.
Carmody
could
be
seen
(
in
total
confidence
)
about
your
love
life
;
that
if
you
were
having
the
bedroom
miseries
,
she
could
give
you
a
drink
that
would
put
the
ram
back
in
your
rod
.

"
EXPIATION
!
"
they
all
cried
together
.
"
Expiation
,
that
's
right
!
"
she
shouted
deliriously
.
"
It
's
expiation
gon
na
clear
away
this
fog
!
Expiation
gon
na
clear
off
these
monsters
and
abominations
!
Expiation
gon
na
drop
the
scales
of
mist
from
our
eyes
and
let
us
see
!
"
Her
voice
dropped
a
notch
.
"
And
what
does
the
Bible
say
expiation
is
?
What
is
the
only
cleanser
for
sin
in
the
Eye
and
Mind
of
God
?

"
Blood
