With　almost　swooning　horror；　she　realized　at　last　who　it　was　that　Jack　had

been　conversing　with　in　the　ballroom。

〃You　turned　my　son　against　me。　That　was　the　worst。〃　His　face　sagged　into　lines

of　selfpity。　〃My　little　boy。　Now　he　hates　me；　too。　You　saw　to　that。　That　was

your　plan　all　along；　wasnt　it？　Youve　always　been　jealous；　havent　you？　Just

like　your　mother。　You　couldnt　be　satisfied　unless　you　had　all　the　cake；　could

you？　Could　you？〃

She　couldnt　talk。

〃Well；　Ill　fix　you；〃　he　said；　and　tried　to　put　his　hands　around　her　throat。

She　took　a　step　backward；　then　another；　and　he　stumbled　against　her。　She

remembered　the　knife　in　the　pocket　of　her　robe　and　groped　for　it；　but　now　his

left　arm　had　swept　around　her；　pinning　her　arm　against　her　side。　She　could　smell

sharp　gin　and　the　sour　odor　of　his　sweat。

〃Have　to　be　punished；〃　he　was　grunting。　〃Chastised。　Chastised　。。。　harshly。〃

His　right　hand　found　her　throat。

As　her　breath　stopped；　pure　panic　took　over。　His　left　hand　joined　his　right

and　now　the　knife　was　free　to　her　own　hand；　but　she　forgot　about　it。　Both　of　her

hands　came　up　and　began　to　yank　helplessly　at　his　larger；　stronger　ones。

〃Mommy！〃　Danny　shrieked　from　somewhere。　〃Daddy；　stop！　Youre　hurting　Mommyl〃

He　screamed　piercingly；　a　high　and　crystal　sound　that　she　heard　from　far　off。

Red　flashes　of　light　leaped　in　front　of　her　eyes　like　ballet　dancers。　The　room

grew　darker。　She　saw　her　son　clamber　up　on　the　bar　and　throw　himself　at　Jacks

shoulders。　Suddenly　one　of　the　hands　that　had　been　crushing　her　throat　was　gone

as　Jack　cuffed　Danny　away　with　a　snarl。　The　boy　fell　back　against　the　empty

shelves　and　dropped　to　the　floor；　dazed。　The　hand　was　on　her　throat　again。　The

red　flashes　began　to　turn　black。

Danny　was　crying　weakly。　Her　chest　was　burning。　Jack　was　shouting　into　her

face：　〃Ill　fix　you！　Goddam　you；　Ill　show　you　who　is　boss　around　here！　Ill

show　you　—　〃

But　all　sounds　were　fading　down　a　long　dark　corridor。　Her　struggles　began　to

weaken。　One　of　her　hands　fell　away　from　his　and　dropped　slowly　until　the　arm　was

stretched　out　at　right　angles　to　her　body；　the　hand　dangling　limply　from　the

wrist　like　the　hand　of　a　drowning　woman。

It　touched　a　bottle　—　one　of　the　straw…wrapped　wine　bottles　that　served　as

decorative　candleholders。

Sightlessly；　with　the　last　of　her　strength；　she　groped　for　the　bottles　neck
