“I’m not,” she said. She looked at her pale, strained face in the bathroom mirror. “I’m not!”

She waited for a moment in a kind of horrified suspension to see if any of the voices-or the image of the woman kneeling by the splintered boards with her slip puddled on the ground beside her-would come back, but she neither heard nor saw anything. That creepy other who had told Jessie some she had pushed some he down some well was apparently gone.

Strain, toots, the voice that would one day be Ruth advised, and Jessie had a clear idea that while the voice didn’t exactly believe that, it had decided Jessie had better get moving again, and right away. You thought about a woman with a slip beside her because you’ve got underwear on the brain this afternoon, that’s all. I’d forget the whole thing, if I were you.

That was great advice. Jessie quickly dampened her shorts and shirt under the tap, wrung them out, and then stepped into the shower. She soaped, rinsed, dried, hurried back to the bedroom. She ordinarily wouldn’t have bothered with the robe again for the quick dash across the hall, but this time she did, only holding it shut instead of taking time to belt it closed.

She paused in the bedroom again, biting her lip, praying that the weird other voice wouldn’t come back, praying that she wouldn’t have another of those crazy hallucinations or illusions or whatever they were. Nothing came. She dropped the robe on her bed, hurried across to her bureau, pulled on fresh underwear and shorts.

She smells that same smell, she thought. Whoever that woman is, she smells the same smell coming out of the well she made the man fall into, and it’s happening now, during the eclipse. I’m sure-

She turned, a fresh blouse in one hand, and then froze. Her father was standing in the doorway, watching her.
