U.S.A: Dell, 1948. First edition. Paperback. Good. THE YELLOW MATCH BOOK was lying on the seat of the taxicab. I saw it as the doorman at Garfinckel's bowed me in with a punctilio worthy of the wife of the Combined Chiefs of Staff. "How you feelin', Miz Latham?" he asked. "How them two boys gettin' on these days?" I recognized him then; it was the uniform that had blinded me. He was some kind of a cousin of my Lilac's, and a former neighbor in Georgetown. I was pleased to see him again. ''I'm fine, Boston, and the boys are too. Bill's out of the Navy and going to California Tech. You must come and see him when he gets home for Christmas. How are you?" Boston was fine, and he'd certainly come and see Bill, who must have grown up considerable by now. He was so right-and at the moment I was so unaware of how right he was. He held the taxi door open while I picked up the yellow matches. "It's a smutty day," he said. "That ol' cloud goin' to bust himself, any minute now." He was right again. It was one of those poisonously hot late September days in Washington that usually end in a futile thunderstorm. I wouldn't, otherwise, have bothered to pick up the match book, but with everything else sticking to me I could do without a yellow stain on my white dress. I gave the driver my address on P Street in Georgetown. It was then I saw what was scrawled on the match book, as if someone had made a hurried note. The Devil's Stronghold, it said. It seemed an astonishing notation.· I suppose I could have thought of it as premonitory, some way, but experience has shattered all faith.
