Who is the target?

Abigail is convinced that this man, Leon Lourens, is the next target. She has some sort of past with him. I don’t know what it is though. I cannot imagine an affair. After all, she is a highly educated, very intelligent black woman and he, as far as I can make about, is a fairly brainless white, blue-collar worker.

I described him that way to Rosa yesterday and she told me that I was disgusting. This is a good man and I sound like a brainless intellectual snob, she said. How would I like it, if someone described me as a physically under-developed, eccentric Yid. I thought about that and apologized and said I wouldn’t call him that again.

On the other hand, he is not a player in any way. Why would anyone want to murder him? It makes no sense at all. He is altogether too boring to murder.

Yet, Abigail is convinced he’s on the list. What list? I asked her. Who compiled it.

Wessel was here again this afternoon. He apologized about the way he refused my not unreasonable request for a share of the royalties. He explained that it is not easy making a living as a writer and he needs all the money.

I told him to think nothing of it, but not to think that I was going to give him any more stories.
