It makes her unfairly angry at Millicent for saying it just like that, a hiss instead of a word… She is already anticipating tragedy, tasting it on her tongue like the ham that comes with funerals. Faye can smell the determination on her like alcohol on a barfly.įaye has already grown to hate that word, missing, the snakelike quality of it, the way people’s tongues get stuck on the S’s. She is standing by Faye’s elbow, annoyingly close. She has always respected and feared lawyers, as if they possess something she never could, some special insight into truth and justice, a gift bestowed on them at birth, like a pitching arm or a brilliant mind. Which means she spends a lot of time in Faye’s salon. She spends most of her time standing on the dock waving a hanky, begging it to come back to her. She was once quite the beauty, but that ship has sailed. Louise is one of the richest women in town but not one of the smartest. ![]()
