The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “He’s the one who made you well,” Viola says. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z So I could live knowing that he took Viola. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola points the binocs upriver to see the way we came but it’s too flat, too twisty. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Listen, you—” said Viola as I crashed out the back door and came to a screeching halt. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “Viola told me...Viola told me you were supposed to come out when you were a girl but that you didn’t get to. Is that true?” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z And I open my Noise as loud as it’ll go so that both he and Viola can see I’m telling the truth. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola’s feet hit the ground running and I’m right behind her, heading for the lip of the road that goes down to the zigzags. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I went through the kitchen, where Viola was starting on dinner. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “We got up to X Sevens,” Viola says. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola went off to her own service at All God’s Children. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “Other side of the river,” Viola says and takes off across the bridge, feet smacking against the wood. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I put the water bottles back in Viola’s bag. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola asks as we sit down against different trees. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola seems like she’s about to say something but when I glance up at her, her eyes are shiny and all she does is nod, which is the right thing, the thing I’d want. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I look from Viola to Ben and back again. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z There’s a snap of branches as Viola comes rushing back to us. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Smell Viola,” he barks, jumping off the other side. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola and I look at each other, like we forgot he was even there. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Mother thumbed through her cookbook and planned our Sunday dinner while Viola tried to lead me down the tricky path of pastry-dough making. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Since Viola had calmed down, and the blood was flowing freely, Kendra cast aside the pie tin and retrieved the silver bowl. Fablehaven 2006-07-30T00:00:00Z Francia sighs and says, “Viola’s in the orchards, gathering dropped fruits.” The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I throw them on the floor and lay down, a room away from Viola and all her meaningless, evil quiet. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z He looked up and paled when he saw Viola. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola was bent over an elaborate cake, holding her breath and applying the final decorations of nonpareils, those tiny edible metallic nuggets that crunched thrillingly between the teeth. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola mooed thunderously, apparently upset at having her milking abruptly halted right after it began. Fablehaven 2006-07-30T00:00:00Z Another man’s grabbing on to Viola and she’s resisting just as much as I am. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “I want to see it,” Viola says, letting go of my hand and taking out the binocs. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Can you keep an eye out for us?” he asks Viola. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola took one look at me and said, “What you got there?” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I’ll float downstream, come upon his campsite from the riverside while he’s out in the woods looking for me, and I’ll rescue Viola. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola says, holding her palms to the air. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Viola,” I say and I grit my teeth even harder and try to get to my feet. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola recruited three of the women to help her cook in the old stone kitchen in back of the house. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I approached her cautiously in case Viola had told her of my apparently shameful public experiment, but there was no special alarm in her eyes. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola came up later carrying a tray set with the second-best china as a peace offering for my banishment. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola turns away from all of us, obviously taking this news in. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I pinched my way around the pies with my good thumb, and they did look better, although no one would be fooled into thinking they were Viola’s handiwork. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z We don’t say nothing more, just me and Viola by the riverside, resting ourselves as another dawn comes. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Both times we hie off into the woods, Viola with her hand round Manchee’s snout and me trying to keep my Noise as Prentisstown-free as possible till they pass. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “But why do I have to cook? Viola cooks for us,” I said. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z And so if I don’t find Viola and Aaron soon I’ll starve to death if this coughing don’t kill me first. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z His accent’s the closest to Viola’s I ever heard on New World. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I look over at Viola, eating outta one of her packets of fruit. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Whatever,” Viola says, turning and starting to climb the rocks to where the old woman stands. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola sounded the gong at nine o’clock and woke me. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Mother and Viola followed behind with a basket filled with hairpins and ribbons and tongs. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z The fire burns, the smoke rises, Manchee’s tongue hangs out in a stunned pant, till finally I say, “Viola.” The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola nods and catches my eye as she steps outta the green and back to the path. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola came in wearing a clean white apron and bearing a lemon pound cake on a silver tray. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola asks as we hurry on up the path. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I stumble along, barely keeping my balance as he pulls us to Hildy and Viola, talking all the way. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z My last whispered instructions were from Viola: “Don’t touch that hair. I mean it.” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola hands the binocs to Ben and he looks for himself. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Without hardly thinking, I leave the pistol and I run back down to Viola at the edge of the scrub. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola went to lie down with a cold cloth and a headache powder and was given an unprecedented two whole days off to recover. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z None of this seemed to wear well on Viola. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “My dearest Todd,” Viola reads, copying Ben’s accent as best she can. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Once in a while, I see if I can not-hear Viola. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola had been with us always, since before I was born, since before even Harry was born. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I find myself trying to send an eyeroll Viola’s way about these two but Viola ain’t looking at me and I stop myself from trying again. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Doctor Snow,” Viola says to me, scooting off the bed to make way. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I take off up the path toward the top of the hill, keeping my head down, motoring fast, Viola after me, Manchee trying to keep himself from biting at his tail as we run. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I had never thought about where Viola came from; she had always simply been there, punching down dough, peeling apples, preparing huge roasts in winter and frying up mountains of chicken in summer. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I glance over at Viola and I see that her face is pulled as sad as my Noise feels. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I turn to include Viola, turn without thinking to the space where my dog’d be waiting for me to include him too. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I take out Viola’s but it’s the last we got. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z With Viola married and Gerry grown, I found myself sleeping on the couch in the living room. Bad Boy 2001-05-08T00:00:00Z Viola hasn’t really looked at me since the weirdness back there with me and Matthew and the knife. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola lets out a little sound and her shoulders slump down. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “There’s nowhere to hide,” Viola says, looking around us and down. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z By noon, Viola had her choice of bird to put in the oven. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “We should keep on the road,” I say to Viola quietly. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z "A musician! Violin? No, of course, viola. Yes, you, go over there, and the Kapo will take your information. You'll be an asset. Viola. Not so common." What the Night Sings 2018-02-20T00:00:00Z I don’t think it sank in for Travis until early November, when I went out to the pen with Viola so that she could inspect our prospective dinner. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “There’s more,” Viola says after a while when I don’t raise my head. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z There are Violas, too, frightened and looking to me for help, and Spackles with my knife sticking outta their chests and there’re all talking at once, all talking to me in a roar of voices. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z The thing that makes no sense is that we’re pretty much on the path that Viola and I would’ve taken anyway, following the river, keeping back from the road, and heading east toward Haven. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “They didn’t even take the time to save everything,” Viola says. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “There’s more to paradise than nice buildings,” Viola says. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I sniffle but I see he’s looking over at Viola. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z From a long way away I can hear Viola saying my name. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “So Mayor Prentiss is as crazy as Aaron, then,” Viola says. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “But many would die inexplicably. And actually, they could see the cow, even without the milk, because Viola remains a mortal being.” Fablehaven 2006-07-30T00:00:00Z Viola’s back down the stairs now, digging thru her bag for bandages. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Everything was broken when we crashed,” Viola says. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Too right,” Viola says and the way she says it makes me glad. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Okay,” said Viola, “you only got to do one more thing.” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “That was amazing,” Viola says quietly, cuz the song is already starting to disappear. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola and my mother had an easy relationship, and I never saw any high-handedness between them. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola turns a page and I don’t look at her. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I move to my right, Aaron follows till we’re moving in a slow circle, Aaron’s hands still out, my knife still up, Viola keeping behind me, the spray covering everything. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Passing by, you could gauge the progress of the next meal—and Viola’s temper—by the level of pot noise. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “The other settlement,” Viola says, not quite looking at me. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola’s next to me and as I slurp away, there’s her silence again. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola says from her settee across the room. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola rubs her shins and looks up into the stars coming out thru the hole that was the roof. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I open up the bag and take out the general store food, handing some to Viola and eating what I’ve got. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I whisper, but Viola just scrunches her eyes and turns to the woman. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I still have Viola’s bag around my shoulders and I reach for her binocs, holding ’em up to my eyes but shaking so much it’s hard to get a clear image. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola killed and plucked and cooked the chickens. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola looks at me, worry on her forehead. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I take the binocs from my face and I look down and I wipe my eyes with my sleeve and I turn and I hand Viola back the binocs and I say, “Let’s go.” The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “You were sick,” Viola says, sitting back, knees still on my bed. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z So Mother and Viola came to my room and inspected the various projects that I had laid out on my bed. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Hildy wins the bickering and Francia shows me and Viola to separate small rooms next to each other one floor up. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Every time Kendra saw Viola, she marveled anew at her enormity. Fablehaven 2006-07-30T00:00:00Z Viola takes a breath and says, “There’s a break in the page here and a little space and then it says Later like she got interrupted.” The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola picks up another basket, brings it over right next to me, and sits down. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola and Mother both fell on me again with a vengeance, beating and thrashing my hair with brushes and tongs. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola doted on her, which was odd since she barely tolerated the other cats—the Outside Cats—and sometimes swept them off the back porch with her broom. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Then I went to the kitchen to beg a headache pastille from Viola. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola charged at me from the back porch. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola came back in with a tray of the best china and set it down. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z It takes a bunch of tries but I finally catch him while Viola takes out her medipak-of-wonders. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I hear Viola make a choking and gasping sound and I look up to her and when I do she shrinks from me. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola moves back, too, behind and around me, underneath the carving of New World. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola’s silence has gone more silent than usual, as still as the night, waiting to hear what he might say. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola reaches her and they walk off outta sight without another word. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I turn my back on Viola and she turns her back on me. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I loop Viola’s bag as gingerly as I can over one shoulder. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “I’ve got to say,” Viola shouts, “it’s kind of smaller than I expected.” The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “We beat them,” Viola says, a smile coming, too. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola holds his look but don’t say nothing. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Her quiet next to me reminds me so much of Viola it’s all I can do not to just lean against her. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Lord knows what I looked like because Mother looked alarmed, and Viola cut her eyes to the corner. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z She and Viola sent a steady stream of beef tea and baking soda poultices to my room. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “C’mon, Ben,” Viola says, walking to the back of the cart and hoisting her bag on top. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola matches my speed before we get far at all. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola rang her bell on the back porch as I reached the driveway. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Mother made sure that Viola got nice new lengths of cotton in the summer and flannel in the winter, along with her weekly wages. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I lay Viola gently down and I stand and face him. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola and I glare at each other but we get up and follow Hildy into a large common room. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I look over at Viola and she looks back at me and just smiles and shakes her head and wipes away the wet from her eyes. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola says, looking round at all the square stones marking out their graves. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “And when something is all you know, it’s easy to stand it. There is one other thing she knows: Her life could be much harder. Viola is ‘house’ instead of ‘field.’ The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z By way of answer Viola digs ’em outta her bag and holds ’em up to her own eyes. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola don’t say nothing, just picks up her bag, frowning all over the place. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “You know this means he succeeded,” Viola says, not meeting my eye. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Why don’t you just go tell yer daddy that both me and Viola will be along in a minute. Okay?” The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola gasps even tho she’s got to have guessed it, too. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola sat sifting soft hillocks of white flour with Idabelle for company. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I’m still standing there in amazement when Viola goes by, waving her hand frantically to me to get on beside her. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z The next day I sat in the kitchen with Viola and watched her punching down the bread dough, the cords working in her forearms. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola and Hildy are talking together but I can only hear the murmurings of words here and there. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z My sister Viola once said that I was the poorest loser she had ever seen. Bad Boy 2001-05-08T00:00:00Z Viola pets him, too, trying to keep him from licking off the bandage. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “If they didn’t want to kill us before,” Viola says, “they’ll sure want to now.” The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “I think,” said Viola, “it’s time for you to go rest.” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola stops and there’s only the river and my Noise. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola says, hope and doubt both in her voice. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola rushes up to the fence in front of the house. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z My sisters, Gerry and Viola, danced with me in the house, but the girls in the street wouldn’t dance with me, so I danced by myself. Bad Boy 2001-05-08T00:00:00Z “This is one empty planet,” Viola says as we stop for a quick lunch, leaning on some rocks overlooking a natural weir. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “But the war’s not the end of the story,” Viola says quietly. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Me and Viola are all we got, everything we have in the world. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Please, Viola,” I say and I’m practically weeping it. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I look at him, then over to Viola. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola looks away from me, face still red with anger. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I grip the knife and squeeze Viola’s hand once, hard, for luck. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Oh, can I, now?” he says, eyes widening, taking in Viola behind me. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Dropped in the struggle with Aaron, of no use or interest to him and just left on the ground like it don’t belong to no one, like it don’t matter that it’s Viola’s. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola went straight to Mother and said, “You better think about that boy. Those turkeys is his pets.” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “Viola’s going to show you how to make the crust. It’s her specialty.” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “Francia told me that you can find Haven if you keep following the main river,” Viola says. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z After a while, she got bored and wandered off to the kitchen door, hoping to cadge a handout from Viola. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola looks up to the entrance and puts her hands to her face and I can see her clench her teeth. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I grip my knife and I look over at Viola, her face looking straight back up the tunnel, so much fear on it my chest begins to hurt. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z The girl, Viola, looks at me, her forehead creased. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I glance up at Viola but she ain’t looking at me. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Good Lord,” said Viola when she saw my complexion. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola rubs her arms to dry herself a little more. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola and I look at each other, suddenly not wanting Hildy to leave. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z He pauses and the Noise is there, of course, like it always is, his and mine and Viola’s silence only making it louder. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z An hour later, I stood panting and thrashing around with my third bowl of dough, with Mother and Viola growing more incredulous by the minute. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “Todd,” Viola says, a small warning in her voice. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z No sign of him, no Noise other than mine, no silence of Viola. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I hear Viola scream but my Noise is roaring way too loud for me to hear it as more than a whisper. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola gave me a used book of Bible stories with dramatic illustrations. Bad Boy 2001-05-08T00:00:00Z The sun is in the sky but I have no idea how much time has passed since Aaron took Viola. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola was working in the kitchen but had received her gifts of snuff and a thick red flannel petticoat from Mother earlier in the day. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z There’s a whole army coming after me and Viola. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Sorry, Viola!” she yelled, plunging the weed digger into the spongy flesh. Fablehaven 2006-07-30T00:00:00Z I look at Viola and she has her hand over her mouth and her eyes are wet but I can see a smile thru her fingers and I open my mouth to speak. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “I’m not even sure it matters,” Viola says, her voice stretching out. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I ask, still looking at Viola, feeling the world changing forever again. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z The voice of Viola making the world into the voice of my ma, singing the song. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z And Viola and I are reaching the side with the tunnel in it. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z She looks down to Viola, still waiting on the bottom step. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola and I sat at the table and looked at each other. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “I wonder how Viola’s day was,” I say. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola worked in electronics, and she and her husband, Frank, had bought a house in Queens. Bad Boy 2001-05-08T00:00:00Z And Viola’s on top of me and I’m breathing heavy into her face and she’s breathing heavy into mine. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Come on, Todd,” Viola calls, looking back over her shoulder. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I sneak a glance back at Viola, off to my side a little. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola refused to call it either the laboratory or the former slave quarters. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “Up there, Ben,” I say, pointing up the small hill Viola’s seen. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Viola can cook for my family,” I said. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “So that’s that settlement then,” Viola whispers as we take a look behind us and watch it disappear behind a bend. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Next time a kerchief, I think, Viola,” Mother said. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I got through the back door just as Viola pulled the roast from the oven. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I turn to Viola with my mouth open. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Has your Highness seen the Lady Viola tonight?” asked a gallant troubadour of the fairy queen who floated down the hall upon his arm. Little Women 1868-01-01T00:00:00Z I see Viola biting the hand of the man who’s grabbing her. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola comes flying down from the upper floor as we enter. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola clanged about in the kitchen nonstop for hours with a plug of snuff in her lip, bringing forth our massive dinner out of clouds of steam. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “I think there’s more of them out there,” Viola whispers down near my ear. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Herbert agreed to bring Florence’s two daughters, Geraldine and Viola, to New York and drove down to Martinsburg in the black Ford he had bought. Bad Boy 2001-05-08T00:00:00Z Viola lurches back but she don’t let go and I go tumbling into the boat on top of her. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola points her binocs at the settlement for a minute, then hands them to me. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Mother shuddered and turned away, and she and Viola conferred and clucked over the remaining pieces. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I clomped through the kitchen on the way to washing up and said to Viola, “How come I have to learn how to sew and cook? Why? Can you tell me that? Can you?” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I took a silver tray of smoked oysters and offered them around the room, keeping a close count as instructed by Viola on how many my brothers took. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola got up and threw flour and water and lard together with seeming thoughtlessness and rolled out a nonsticky, nonrunny, perfect crust in no time. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I still have Viola’s bag with me, tho all it’s got in it anymore are a few clothes, the water bottles, the binocs and my ma’s book, still in its plastic bag. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Hildy’s rubbing Viola’s back again and I see that Viola’s eyes are wet and leaking and she’s started to rock a little back and forth. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “So this...Aaron,” Viola says after a while in a low voice and I know exactly why it’s now that she brings him up. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I look at Viola and back to Jacob. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Mother also shared old copies of Ladies’ Home Journal with her, and although Viola couldn’t read, she enjoyed paging through them and exclaiming over the latest outrageous fashions from Paris. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z He growls and apologizes and growls and apologizes until Viola’s covered the whole wound up tight. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola took up arms against them to no avail. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z We fill our bellies as best we can and I shove the rest of the food into Viola’s bag, now hanging round my shoulders. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z It won’t just be Todd and Viola, sitting by a river as the sun comes up, eating our breakfast, the only two people on the face of the planet. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z The jump back to the embankment is harder this time cuz we’re so wet and weak but I take a running shot at it and then catch Viola as she comes tumbling after me. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola asks me, having to raise her voice over the rain. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola’s back behind me a bit, down one of the rows. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I’ll wait for a few minutes, then go back inside and make sure Viola’s okay. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z My days consisted of a cycle of schoolwork, piano practice, and cooking lessons with Viola. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “There’s some food over at Francia’s house for ye and for Viola. Why don’t ye go on there, get something to eat?” The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola gets out a square bandage and her little scalpel. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “We’re getting off here,” Viola says and we hop down, taking our bags from the cart. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Calpurnia? Did you hear me? Go and fetch him. Mrs. Purtle, do try some of this excellent cake. It’s Viola’s special recipe.” The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z “Viola’s already in the house, no doubt eating all yer dinner.” The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z Viola says, still rowing against the current, the boat twisting and turning. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I could hear Viola ringing the dinner bell on the back porch. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola was singing “The Willow Bends Her Boughs for Me” as she stoked the kitchen stove. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z I turn my back to Viola and shove my legs in the pants. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z “Viola,” he barks, turning round in a circle and then facing that way again. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z I thought Viola should give up and leave them alone, but I reconsidered after discovering that the black pepper in the egg salad was not pepper at all. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate 2009-05-12T00:00:00Z Viola looks back at him, her voice returning to itself, trying to get the point to him clearly. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z So I know it’s not a shimmer and in the shakiness I can just about catch him still kneeling, praying some prayer, and Viola laid out on the ground in front of him. The Knife of Never Letting Go 2008-05-05T00:00:00Z My sister Viola was working at an electronics factory on Long Island. Bad Boy 2001-05-08T00:00:00Z “Ow,” Viola says, stretching out her legs as she steps forward.
