SHE’D HEARD IT FIRST from Mr. Feratovic, who’d heard it, he said, from the police. She would remember later how the super had looked so seriously down at Claggart, who crouched behind her, growling. How he’d shifted his unlit cigar from one side of his mouth to the other without using his hands. How he’d steamed away, leaving her clutching the doorknob for support. The eeriness of the hallway then, as if she were the only astronaut left on a space station orbiting the earth. But she would not cry, she’d told herself, as great, silent tears rolled down her face; she would not give Mr. Feratovic the satisfaction, when there had to have been some mistake. She would spend hours flipping stations on the radio, searching for it. She got no word either way. By midnight, she was ready to hurl the appliance out the window, watch it shatter in a cheap supernova on the black street below. Then she remembered: the goddamn scaffolding would catch it.
