Wycliff quietly passed away early the very next morning. Diamond found her in the living room slumped in front of the fireplace, near her many treasured pictures of her years in the jungle. Baako and Dafi, her faithful old dogs, were licking her face. Actually, Baako was licking her face. Dafi was finishing her toast. “She’s gone,” Diamond cried into the phone to me. “I just called the police, and they sent for the coroner to take her away. What do I do now? I’ve lost everyone!” “Wait there for me,” I told her, though there really wasn’t any other place that made sense for her to go to. Wait there is second to that other useless emergency directive to boil water. “You could put on a pot of water to boil,” I added, just to make sure. Of course I called Tom. And Richie and Jackie. Of course Tom drove up immediately from his office in the city. “Don’t worry, I’ll make all the arrangements,” he reassured a weeping Diamond, cradling her in his arms, his own eyes wet with tears.
