“Who’s sad to see you in England, dear?” Sylvia was saying, leaning over her, over the bed. Daylight had faded. It was late in the afternoon, or perhaps early evening, Cora thought. And then she heard herself say the name “Edward.” She had not meant to say it; she had heard Sylvia’s question and thought it, merely thought it.

“Edward? I don’t think Edward was ever sad to see you back here. Was he?” Sylvia asked.

“No, no, sad about George . . . about George and me,” she replied.

“But did he know? I thought he’d never known . . . hadn’t realized.”

She raised her hand. “Sylvia, you must stop. You don’t understand.”

“Oh, but I do. You see, I never listened to anyone else, only you. And so I . . . I believe you, and I know it was not revenge . . .”

She turned to Sylvia. “I’m sorry, but I must ask you to leave, Sylvia,” she said, clearly and calmly, with complete clarity. “I want you to leave now.”
