Excerpt: ..."Westwood could tell you, or the woman who lived in the Huggins house before you came. Martha could tell you-she lived here--" He heard her draw her breath sharply and he mocked her, gloating: "Ah, Martha has told you! Well, you've got to face the music, I tell you! I've got things going my way here-the way I've wanted things to go since I've been old enough to realize what life is.
