QUARTET
1. The Truth About Carey Grant
Harry was sitting by himself at an outdoor lakeside café
having a beer, when suddenly his Aunt Ceil, dead these five
years, appeared from behind a kiosk. She was wearing one of
those lightweight floral pantsuits older women are so fond of.
With her pink hair, recently styled, and matching hair clips
rising out of the side of her head, she looked the height of fash-
ion. Accompanying her was a man, some years her senior. The
man was definitely not her husband, Harry’s Uncle Charlie.
“Aunt Ceil, what are you doing here? Harry asked, running
up to greet her.
“Augh! Don’t ask,” she said. “Just give me a place to sit.”
Harry held one arm and guided her to a seat at his table, while
the elderly gentleman followed behind.
