Snake (10 page)
Increasingly, you express bewilderment at the direction your life has taken. None of it adds up. When your son comes north to visit, you always ask, âDarling Boy, where did the years go?' Your voice isn't plaintive, as might be expected, but querulous and accusing, as if you had no part in it, as if someone stole the years from under your nose.
