that night in honor of Howards
middle-aged sister, Reyna, author
and world travelled, whom the war
had forced home after being thirty

"Not the town so much but

she said softly. "Thomas Wolfe was
right. Well" she turned back
toward her sister-in-law, tell me

"There is very little to tell" Ag-

"If you're going to talk about the
family" Lucienne said, "tell Aunt
Reyna about Gail Benton"
"Gail Benton" Reyna said, must
