The old man summoned him early. If he were to describe his great-great-uncle’s demeanor in one word, that would be giddy. He had never seen the old man giddy before.

“Look in the envelope, look,” the old man said without as much as a good morning when he entered the room. “It’s her. She’s the one.”

“She’s the one what?” He’d had a sleepless night, with a sense of foreboding that something rotten was festering like last week’s garbage. He pulled the papers from the envelope, unfolded them, and read.

“See. I was right about her.” The old man clapped his veined, wrinkled hands.

“So what are you going to do about it?”

“Do? Nothing, at the moment. I’m not going to tell her. And neither are you.” The old man spoke the last four words with the force that surprised him.

“Oh, you can be sure I won’t tell her.” He weighed his next words carefully. “Do you think she already knows?”

“I highly doubt it.” The old man looked triumphant, as if he were prepared to kill the fatted calf.
