Patricia Highsmith - The Tremor Of Forgery - Plot & Excerpts
He was either at the Plage or taking a walk along the beach, Ingham thought. Ingham straightened up his rooms a little, gave them a sweep, then went out with the double purpose of finding Jensen and buying some flowers. Flowers in a vase, even if the vase was a glass, would look nice on the table, he thought, and he reproached himself for not having had flowers in Ina’s room awaiting her. But how could he have known that the afternoon would turn out as well as it had? Ingham was about to go into the Plage, when he saw Jensen walking slowly up from the beach, barefoot, carrying something that at first Ingham thought was a child: a long dark object which he held in both arms. Jensen plodded forward, blond and thin, like some starving Viking landed after a shipwreck. Ingham saw that what he carried was a big piece of wood. ‘Hey!’ Ingham called, approaching him. Jensen lifted his head a little in acknowledgement. His mouth was open with his effort. “What’s that?’ “A log.’ Jensen said.
