The Figure In The Shadows (2004) - Plot & Excerpts
Later that evening, Lewis tried again, and got her. Both of them tried to apologize at once. Rose Rita had heard from several people about Lewis’s fight with Woody, and she said that she was sorry for having doubted him. Lewis said he was sorry he had lost his temper. By the time the conversation was over with, everything seemed to be all right again. At least, for the time being. A few days after his fight with Woody Mingo, Lewis began to get the feeling that company was coming. He didn’t know why he had this feeling, but he did have it. It started when he was setting the table. He dropped a knife, and then he remembered the old saying: If you drop a knife, then company is coming. Normally Lewis didn’t believe in old sayings and superstitions. But the feeling he got was so strong that he began to wonder if there wasn’t something in the old proverb after all. That night, Lewis sat on his cushioned window seat and watched the snow come down. It was the first snowfall of the winter.
