The more Leo thought about it, the less he liked it. Leo had read this detective story and he had seen the film and knew that when you made the heirs gather together, they immediately started putting exotic poisons into one another\u2019s tea. They simply couldn\u2019t help themselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHe said that it was no surprise that I was unbalanced after the war, considering how my father reacted. He also said that I ought to go to a nursing home indefinitely, because I have what he called a family history of mental disturbance. He said that two close family members took their own lives and he thought\u2014well, he thought I needed constant supervision.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There was Lady Marchand at about twelve years old, looking like she was on her way to church\u2014white gloves, clean pinafore, neatly curled hair\u2014and beside her was a girl who looked like she had been dragged head-first out of a tree and shoved into a frock against her will.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOne spends so much effort not thinking about a thing that it becomes a sort of obsession.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI mean,\u201d he went on, \u201cI know you like me best. Which makes me sound like a petulant child, and I do wish you\u2019d say something or that perhaps a tree would fall on my head to shut me up because\u2014\u201d <\/p>\n

Leo pulled him behind a high garden wall and took his face between cold, dry hands. \u201cTo say that I like you best may be understating the case.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
