Quest For Anna Klein, The (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
There was no fanfare attached to these transitions, nothing to signal a new chapter save a sudden play in his eyes, a tiny light going on or off. Anna seemed always a lingering presence in everything he said, a ghost that followed him no matter where he went. Or was he following the ghost, shifting here or there whenever she beckoned him with some gesture only he could see? For all that, once we reached the table reserved for him, Danforth made no mention of her but talked of the club’s furnishings until the waiter arrived. He ordered the beef Wellington and a glass of Bordeaux. I ordered prime rib and said no to the wine. “I need to keep my wits about me,” I explained. “Indeed you do,” Danforth said, and added quite pointedly, “especially now.” His words seemed darkly instructional, and he followed them with a brief speech about “desperate times” and “dangerous circumstances” that could easily lead to some rash action one might later regret, a disquisition that was quite broad and without specifics and yet still seemed intimately connected to his story.
