CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Beth

May 22, 1988

Beth sits next to Mrs. B, looks back at the camera, and smiles. “Sunday tea with Mrs. B,” she says.

The older woman wears a blue suit trimmed with red brocade and tailored to fit her body perfectly. Her hair is twisted into a bun, and she’s wearing panty hose and dark, sensible shoes. “Why do you always wear that broach?” Beth asks.

“It was made for me by a dear friend, and I’m very fond of it.”

“What’s the design?”

“It’s a songbird.”

“Who made it?”

She is silent for a moment, and then an old secret rises up, and she says, “Jimmy. He was quite talented.”

“That’s ivory, right? Scrimshaw?”

“Many a seaman found hobbies to pass the time. For him it was carving ivory.”

“When did he give it to you?”

“A story for another day, child. Today I want to tell you about the wedding day.”

“For Mrs. Lawrence and Mr. Buchanan.”

“Yes.”

“Well, I’ll get out of the shot.” Beth scrambles off camera. “Take it away, Mrs. B.”
