- W2047931931 abstract "A Devil's Face by grace cash ( ) Haynie Lowell got word of the accident at 11 o'clock although he learned an hour later, at the hospital, waiting for a report from the x-ray department, that the man, a mountaineer who found her car, said he saw the car crashing down the embankment around ten o'clock. The mountaineer had been on his way to Laurant, his reason for driving over Lost Mountain on such a rainy, treacherous day, or she mightn't have been seen for hours. Haynie tried to envision Sarah in the x-ray room where big steel machines would reveal bones bound to be broken, a skull crushed—who knew? He waited in the corridor, although the nurses one after another passing by, told him to be seated in the lobby and they would call him when he could see her. When she comes from x-rays, they would add, and he could tell they were trying to hide what they knew. Hiding what one knew, and saw, and sensed could become a practiced act after a number of years, he knew that. As she toppled over the mountainside, he wondered if Sarah remembered their breakfast conversation only hours ago, him trying to make a joke ofher dream. This dream was—different, she said, him drawing her out, telling her it was Frank Kestler's sister, Patrice, who kept vowing—and having her to vow— she would find out who stabbed Frank if it took dying to do it. He had asked how dying could help them find out how a man died, but he wasn't joking, had never joked about her passion for Frank. It had been his duty as her husband, as a man, to exorcise out of her all that had kept her morbid throughout their married life. They're taking Mrs. Lowell to surgery, a nurse told him. Wait in the 69 lobby until we call you, please, Mr. Lowell. He walked slowly, each foot pronouncing his weight, up the hall. At forty, he was lithe of waist, a construction worker, a builder, a climber. He looked no more than thirty. He sat down in a green plastic chair and stretched the six-foot length of himself from chair to rug, his ash-blond hair like a thatch of broomstraw, falling now over his forehead and shading his dark eyes. What would he hear when they called him? Sorry, your wife is dead, and he would go into Intensive Care to see her, lying crushed and broken, driven to her death by last night's dream. This dream was—different, she said. Not like the others occurring at irregular times—sometimes maybe no more than four or five times a year, which in ten years added up to a lot of terrified dreams related to how Frank Kesler died, trailing blood she would say, down the mountain, trying to make it to the hospital after he was stabbed. Who did it, she would ask upon awakening. Or at the breakfast table. This morning before he left for work, she told him how the dream was different , that the man had a devil's face and he was laughing because he had stabbed Frank and when the blood started rolling down the mountain, he clapped his hands and said, So now! Sitting there, in the lobby, he silently muttered his hatred of Patrice. She kept visiting Sarah as though she was her sister-in-law, called her that, as she would have been if Frank had lived. She was a full Kesler, like Frank. Even before Haynie knew he would—or could— marry her, he had wondered what she saw in the Keslers. The day they brought Frank home dead, he looked like a dark prince laying in his gray casket, so Sarah said. The barren yards on that red knob of a hillside farm was covered with young people, milling about, talking about Frank. Patrice said, Somebody stabbed him, and everybody looked atjier, their first knowing that he had not died of injuries sustained when his car overturned on the mountain, at Danger Bend, where the mountaineer found Sarah, crumpled..." @default.
