The short séance was over. Astrid followed them to the door and said goodbye. When the Daimler from Memento drove out onto the road, Helge Landmark asked his wife for a good dram of cognac.

She looked at him apprehensively. It had been a long time since he’d had a nip, and she was afraid all the medicine he was taking would make for an explosive mix.

“Is that a good idea?” she asked carefully. “Mixing it with your medicine?”

With what remained of his strength, Helge banged his clenched fist on the armrest of the chair. “Does that matter now, Astrid? Can you tell me that?”

She did as he demanded. Like an obedient child, she retrieved the bottle from the cupboard, her hands trembling when she poured. She felt strange. Afraid and elated at the same time.

Then she escaped into the kitchen to make bread dough, kneading it forcefully—there was no mercy in her clenched fists. While she was busy with the dough, the doorbell rang. She thought it might be the police and hurried to open the door.

But it was only a young man she didn’t know asking for directions to Sandberg Center.
