PETE AND LUCY’S MOTHER

I try, when I meet her, not to think about Lucy imitating the whole prayer thing, in case I start laughing.

We’ve come through the back door and straight into the kitchen of the bungalow.

“If we had a second floor, you could see the water,” says Lucy. “But instead, we’ve just got other people’s backyard fences.”

I ask to use the bathroom because I can’t wait another minute. A pair of stockings and a purple brassiere hang over the bar that holds the shower curtain. Purple with black lace edging and, um, abundant room in the cups. Definitely not Lucy’s. Now I’m wilting with mortification; everybody will know I’ve seen Mrs. Munro’s underwear.

All these secrets before I’ve even said, Hello, nice to meet you, Mrs. Munro.

“Look at you!” she says. “Where on God’s good earth did you spring from?”

Since that’s exactly the question that brought me to her house, I’m flummoxed for a second.

“She means where have you been living before now.” Pete to the rescue. “She means she knows you haven’t been in Parry Sound or she’d have heard.”
