Fiction by Mary Costello: So much of the past now made sense. It was not his first time. There had been patterns: callers who hung up when she answered, flurries of activity.
“Are you all right there?” Mr. O’Shea asked at the traffic light. “I am, thanks,” she replied. “Is it warm enough? Would you like me to turn up the heat?” “I’m fine, thanks,” she said. “I’m sorry about this,” she added. “I’m sure you’d much prefer to be on your own for the journey.” There had been a moment of confusion outside the hospital morgue when she announced her intention to travel in the hearse. The coffin had already been loaded and the paperwork completed when she and Frank arrived.
She read the biographies, too, and would come upon little tidbits that delighted her, like the fact that Joyce had kept two parakeets in his Paris flat, or that Robert Musil had once been a librarian. Over the decades, she continued to watch and learn and discern from the book lovers and aesthetes who frequented her libraries—middle-aged, bluestocking ladies, rakish young men, and intense young women—and took note of the books they read and the journals they requested.
