Her smile was wide. “Bailey Ruth, you are one foxy lady. Do you know what that means?”
I laughed aloud. I remembered.
“Thank you, Bailey Ruth. Good-bye.”
“Hasta la vista,” I called.
Faintly, as I moved through The Castle ceiling into the starlit night, I heard her quick shout: “Yeah. Sure. But, please, not anytime soon.”
Here came the caboose. I reached out, clung to the railing. As the lights receded below, I was torn between earth and Heaven, the diamond-bright glitter of Adelaide receding, the brilliance of the stars bathing me in a silvery glow.
A strong hand clasped my arm, pulled me aboard. Above the rush of the wind, Wiggins shouted, “Well done, Bailey Ruth.” A portentous pause. “However, there were a few moments we should discuss.” The wind rushed past us. Shooting stars illuminated our arc as we rose higher and higher.
I slipped my arm through his as we turned to enter the last car. As Mama wisely advised, “Talk to men about something dear to their hearts.”
“Wiggins, how is the schedule coming with that emissary at Ulaa Lodge?”
