—Collins American English Dictionary Sunday morning found Pearl McKinnon Ivy staring out of her bedroom window with dark circles beneath her eyes. There had been voices again in the summer kitchen, lilting and ghostly. She had even nudged Marvin awake and asked him to listen. “There’s nothing,” he said, and rolled onto his side and was soon snoring. Pearl lay awake staring at the ceiling. There they were again, micelike and muffled: scampering noises and whispers, coming from the old summer kitchen. Marge, no doubt, rifling through the dusty trunk in search of her love letters of another era, of a golden time. How soon before she put two and two together, assuming ghosts could add, and came clawing at the back door for an explanation? “I want my letters!” Pearl could hear the April wind whistling about the eaves. She would have to tell Sicily. Sicily would be in danger, too, as she was half responsible. And Pearl would not hesitate to let Marge’s ghost know this tidbit.
