Seven years have passed since Dr. Creepo son of a bitch. Let Miggs squirt you and see how you like it. Ardelia Mapp saw the fatigue in her face. Ardelia Mapp laughed with her, as much as the small joke was worth. Starling did not stop, and she heard herself from far away, laughing and laughing.
He faces two double beds, both raised on blocks to hospital height. One is his own; in the other lies his wife, Bella. Crawford can hear her breathing through her mouth. It has been two days since she last could stir or speak to him. She misses a breath. Crawford looks up from his book, over his half-glasses. He puts the book down. Bella breathes again, a flutter and then a full breath. He rises to put his hand on her, to take her blood pressure and her pulse.
Over the months he has become expert with the blood pressure cuff. Because he will not leave her at night, he has installed a bed for himself beside her. Because he reaches out to her in the dark, his bed is high, like hers. There are flowers, but not too many. No pills are in sight—Crawford emptied a linen closet in the hall and filled it with her medicines and apparatus before he brought her home from the hospital.
It was the second time he had carried her across the threshold of that house, and the thought nearly unmanned him. A warm front has come up from the south.

The room is spotless, but the carpet has begun to nap—Crawford will not run the noisy vacuum cleaner in the room and uses a manual carpet sweeper that is not as good. He pads to the closet and turns on the light.
Two clipboards hang on the inside of the door. His figures and those of the day nurse alternate in a column that stretches over many yellow pages, many days and nights. Crawford is capable of giving any medication she may need in the night. Crawford stands over her for perhaps three minutes, looking down into her face.

Ck with me before you contact estate or go anywhere. Report Wednesday hours. The Director got your Lecter report over your signature. You did well.

She knew from family experience that, because automobiles depreciate so rapidly, an appellate court will let survivors sell a car before probate, the money going into escrow.
There was also the problem of time. Counting her lunch break, Starling had an hour and fifteen minutes a day free to use the telephone during business hours. So she had a total of three hours and forty-five minutes to trace the car, spread over three days, if she used her study periods and made up the study at night.
