Scott joined us to explain that he had called his home and talked with Vivien. She had gone home badly frightened. Scott said that it was something about a poem. He said that he would be at home for questioning and left in a great hurry.
I glanced at Sam and said, “Now I know what the surf has been telling me. It’s from Proverbs: ‘He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind.’ ”
Sam patted my arm and looked deeply into my eyes and then at the guests. We understood each other. We walked out on the porch to wait for the police. It would have been rude to end the party too soon — rude to Lynecrest.
On the porch I could feel the first faint whisper of breeze, a touch of wind that would soon dispel the fog.
