"Kenneth."
Kathleen's cry sent chills up her husband's spine. He turned to see Seadon Wells running full speed through the garden. The look on his face as he bounded across the wide porch was frightful.
The two men looked at the arched doorway where Seadon now stood. His face was bleached of all color; he was shaking and breathing hard.
"My God, sir. Oh, my God, sir."
"What is it, Seadon? Speak up." Kenneth put his hands on the twenty-six-year old's shoulders.
"Your father is dead. In the greenhouse."
Genevieve began to cry.
In a modest green house on Sunset Drive off 52nd Street, another man's wife was crying over the death of her husband.
