〃Wendy？〃　Voice　soft；　nearly　purring。　〃Wendy；　what　did　you　do　to　him？〃

Wendy　stared　back　at　him　in　stunned　disbelief；　her　face　pallid。　She　shook　her

head。

〃Oh　Jack；　you　must　know　—　〃

Outside　it　had　begun　to　snow　again。

KITCHEN　TALK

Jack　carried　Danny　into　the　kitchen。　The　boy　was　still　sobbing　wildly；

refusing　to　look　up　from　Jacks　chest。　In　the　kitchen　he　gave　Danny　back　to

Wendy；　who　still　seemed　stunned　and　disbelieving。

〃Jack；　I　dont　know　what　hes　talking　about。　Please；　you　must　believe　that。〃

〃I　do　believe　it；〃　he　said；　although　he　had　to　admit　to　himself　that　it　gave

him　a　certain　amount　of　pleasure　to　see　the　shoe　switched　to　the　other　foot　with

such　dazzling；　unexpected　speed。　But　his　anger　at　Wendy　had　been　only　a　passing

gut　twitch。　In　his　heart　he　knew　Wendy　would　pour　a　can　of　gasoline　over　herself

and　strike　a　match　before　harming　Danny。

The　large　tea　kettle　was　on　the　back　burner；　poking　along　on　low　heat。　Jack

dropped　a　teabag　into　his　own　large　ceramic　cup　and　poured　hot　water　halfway。

〃Got　cooking　sherry；　dont　you？〃　he　asked　Wendy。

〃What？　。。。　oh；　sure。　Two　or　three　bottles　of　it。〃

〃Which　cupboard？〃

She　pointed；　and　Jack　took　one　of　the　bottles　down。　He　poured　a　hefty　dollop

into　the　teacup；　put　the　sherry　back；　and　filled　the　last　quarter　of　the　cup

with　milk。　Then　he　added　three　tablespoons　of　sugar　and　stirred。　He　brought　it

to　Danny；　whose　sobs　had　tapered　off　to　snifflings　and　hitchings。　But　he　was

trembling　all　over；　and　his　eyes　were　wide　and　starey。

〃Want　you　to　drink　this；　doc；〃　Jack　said。　〃Its　going　to　taste　frigging　awful；

but　itll　make　you　feel　better。　Can　you　drink　it　for　your　daddy？〃

Danny　nodded　that　he　could　and　took　the　cup。　He　drank　a　little；　grimaced；　and

looked　questioningly　at　Jack。　Jack　nodded　and　Danny　drank　again。　Wendy　felt　the

familiar　twist　of　jealousy　somewhere　in　her　middle；　knowing　the　boy　would　not

have　drunk　it　for　her。
