I knew Red and Handley well.
As I said, they were both painters.
They'd come, separately, to Gloucester some twenty years ago -- there's always been an artists' colony somewhere on Cape Ann -- and each married here.
They married cousins, Anta and Freya Norberg.
There are a lot of Scandinavians in this neck of the woods, and many still make painted furniture and take steam-baths.
Pretty girls among them, with blonde hair and pert faces.
Handley married Freya and Red, of the red beard, married Anta.
And it was because of an old Norberg inheritance that I got to understand them all so well.
The quarrel ended in a ridiculous draw, but I must tell you about it.
Oh, yes, I'm quite sure it's important, because of the Beech Pasture.
What's that??
Why, that's what gave me the feeling, gave me as-it-were the spirit, the demoniac, evil spirit of this whole affair.
