e　somehow；　and　you　drive　up。〃　She　shook　her　head；　this　time

in　confusion。　Her　voice

was　strained。　〃I　saw　you　go　into　the　water　and　I　waited　and　waited　for　you　to

e　up；　but　you　didn't。

What　happened？　And　how　could　you　do　that　to　Charlie？　Did　you　stop　to　think

what　this　would　do　to

him？　And　my　brother？　Do　you　have　any　idea　what　Edward—〃

I　cut　her　off　then；　as　soon　as　she　said　his　name。　I'd　let　her　go　on；　even

after　I　realized　the

misunderstanding　she　was　under；　just　to　hear　the　perfect　bell　tone　of　her

voice。　But　it　was　time　to

interrupt。

〃Alice；　I　wasn't　mitting　suicide。〃

She　eyed　me　dubiously。　〃Are　you　saying　you　didn't　jump　off　a　cliff？〃

She　cocked　her　head　to　the　side；　distracted。

jumped　in　after　me。　Well；
