Esquire。 She remembered that day clearly enough; it would take more than three
years to forget it。 She had almost thrown the envelope away; thinking it was a
subscription offer。 Opening it; she had found instead that it was a letter
saying that Esquire would like to use Jacks story 〃Concerning the Black Holes〃
early the following year。 They would pay nine hundred dollars; not on
publication but on acceptance。 That was nearly half a years take typing papers
and she had flown to the telephone; leaving Danny in his high chair to goggle
ically after her; his face lathered with creamed peas and beef puree。
Jack had arrived from the university forty…five minutes later; the Buick
weighted down with seven friends and a keg of beer。 After a ceremonial toast
(Wendy also had a glass; although she ordinarily had no taste for beer); Jack
had signed the acceptance letter; put it in the return envelope; and went down
the block to drop it in the letter box。 When he came back he stood gravely in
the door and said; 〃Veni; vidi; vici。〃 There were cheers and applause。 When the
keg was empty at eleven that night; Jack and the only two others who were still
ambulatory went on to hit a few bars。
She had gotten him aside in the downstairs hallway。 The other two were already
out in the car; drunkenly singing the New Hampshire fight song。 Jack was down on
one knee; owlishly fumbling with the lacings of his moccasins。
〃Jack;〃 she said; 〃you shouldnt。 You cant even tie your shoes; let alone
drive。〃
He stood up and put his hands calmly on her shoulders。 〃Tonight I could fly to
the moon if I wanted to。〃
〃No;〃 she said。 〃Not for all the Esquire stories in the world。〃
〃Ill be home early。〃
But he hadnt been home until four in the morning; stumbling and mumbling his
way up the stairs; waking Danny up when he came in。 He had tried to soothe the
baby and dropped him on the floor。 Wendy had rushed out; thinking of what her
mother would think if she saw the bruise before she thought of anything else —
God help her; God help them both — and then picked Danny up; sat in the rocking
chair with him; soothed him。 She had been thinking of her mother for most of the
five hours Jack had been gone; her mothers prophecy that Jack would never e
to anything。 Big ideas; her mother had said。 Sure。 The welfare lines are full of
educated fools with big ideas。 Did the Esquire story make her mother wrong or
right? Winnifred; youre not holding that baby right。 Give him to me。 And was
she not holding her husband right? Why else would he take his joy out of the
house? A helpless kind of terror had risen up in her and it never occurred to
her that he had gone out for reasons that had nothing to do with her。
〃Congratulations;〃 she said; rocking Danny — he was almost asleep again。 〃Maybe
you gave him a concussion。〃
