“I’ll do it,” Lucy said.

Faith was relieved. Lucy would have been her first choice. The woman was strong—and calm.

There was a sudden buzz of talk. “Are you sure?” “Maybe I should help, too?” “Couldn’t it wait until we find the handyman?” all overlapped each other, until Lucy said, “Come on, Mrs. Fairchild. Soonest done, soonest over.”

As they descended the stairs to the first level, Faith said, “Under the circumstances, I’d rather you call me Faith.” She was quite certain this was going to be a bonding experience of some kind and first names appropriate.

Lucy nodded. “And I’m Lucy. Now, how do you propose we move her? She was small, but she’s, well, dead weight now, plus being wet.”

They were at the end of the room. Faith had turned the lights off earlier and now she turned them on again. She had a sudden thought and wasn’t sure why it seemed important.

“Did anyone come down to look at her while I was gone?”

“I didn’t. I imagine Elaine would have. No one else said they did, but I wouldn’t have known unless I’d seen someone head for the stairs. Elaine woke each of us up with the news—and the news about the storm, which wasn’t really news. I’d been awake for hours wondering how serious it was. This isn’t hurricane season, but it’s behaving like one. Oh dear, I’m rambling. To answer your question: I’d be surprised if anyone other than Elaine came down here. It would have been a pretty ghoulish thing to do.”
