Dozing
lightly
,
the
image
of
the
instant
of
his
birth
was
presented
to
her
.
She
was
again
lying
on
the
delivery
table
,
bathed
in
sweat
,
her
hair
in
strings
,
her
feet
splayed
out
in
the
stirrups
512
(
and
a
little
high
from
the
gas
they
kept
giving
her
whiffs
of
;
at
one
point
she
had
muttered
that
she
felt
like
an
advertisement
for
gang
rape
,
and
the
nurse
,
an
old
bird
who
had
assisted
at
the
births
of
enough
children
to
populate
a
high
school
,
found
that
extremely
funny
)
513
the
doctor
between
her
legs
,
the
nurse
off
to
one
side
,
arranging
instruments
and
humming
.
The
sharp
,
glassy
pains
had
been
coming
at
steadily
shortening
intervals
,
and
several
times
she
had
screamed
in
spite
of
her
shame
.

Then
the
doctor
told
her
quite
sternly
that
she
must
PUSH
,
and
she
did
,
and
then
she
felt
something
being
taken
from
her
.
It
was
a
clear
and
distinct
feeling
,
one
she
would
never
forget
-
the
thing
taken
.
Then
the
doctor
held
her
son
up
by
the
legs
-
she
had
seen
his
tiny
sex
and
known
he
was
a
boy
immediatelyand
as
the
doctor
groped
for
the
airmask
,
she
had
seen
something
else
,
something
so
horrible
that
she
found
the
strength
to
scream
again
after
she
had
thought
all
screams
were
used
up
:
515
He
has
no
face
!
516
But
of
course
there
had
been
a
face
,
Danny
s
own
sweet
face
,
and
the
caul
that
had
covered
it
at
birth
now
resided
in
a
small
jar
which
she
had
kept
,
almost
shamefully
.
She
did
not
hold
with
old
superstition
,
but
she
had
kept
the
caul
nevertheless
.
She
did
not
hold
with
wives
tales
,
but
the
boy
had
been
unusual
from
the
first
.
She
did
not
believe
in
second
sight
but
-
517
Did
Daddy
have
an
accident
?
I
dreamed
Daddy
had
an
accident
.

Something
had
changed
him
.
She
didn
t
believe
it
was
just
her
getting
ready
to
ask
for
a
divorce
that
had
done
it
.
Something
had
happened
before
that
morning
.
Something
that
had
happened
while
she
slept
uneasily
.
Al
Shockley
said
that
nothing
had
happened
,
nothing
at
all
,
but
he
had
averted
his
eyes
when
he
said
it
,
and
if
you
believed
faculty
gossip
,
Al
had
also
climbed
aboard
the
fabled
wagon
.
519
Did
Daddy
have
an
accident
?
520
Maybe
a
chance
collision
with
fate
,
surely
nothing
much
more
concrete
.
