[00:03.89]They bought the Baldwin cabin.
[00:05.54]It was vacant for two years,
[00:06.70]and they just bought it.
[00:08.12]It's out at the end of Ball Sage Point,
[00:10.17]a big cabin on high ground,
[00:11.63]looking out over the lake.
[00:13.15]It has a marvelous view.Do you know Mr Lacey?"
[00:16.39]"No," I said, and went out of there.
[00:19.24]I walked back to the Indian Head
[00:20.88]and got into my car...
[00:23.70]I stopped the car on the tip of the point
[00:25.85]and walked over to a huge tree fallen
[00:28.04]with its roots twelve feet in the air.
[00:30.28]I sat down against it on the bone-dry ground
[00:32.39]and lit a pipe.It was peaceful and quiet
[00:35.68]and far from everything.
[00:37.44]On the far side of the lake a couple
[00:39.08]of speedlboats played tag,
[00:40.85]but on my side there was nothing
[00:42.31]but silent water, very slowly getting dark
[00:44.85]in the mountain dusk.
[00:46.99]I wondered who the hell Fred Lacey was
[00:49.54]and what he wanted and why he didn't want
[00:51.32]to stay home or leave a message
[00:53.16]if his business was so urgent...
