THE BLUE AIR COMPRESSOR
THE BLUE AIR COMPRESSOR
The house was tall, with an incredible slope of shingled roof. As he walked up toward it from the shore road,
Gerald Nately thought it was almost a country in itself, geography in microcosm. The roof dipped and rose at
varying angles above the main building and two strangely-angled wings; a widow's walk skirted a mushroom-
shaped cupola which looked toward the sea; the porch, facing the dunes and lusterless September scrubgrass was
longer than a Pullman car and screened in. The high slope of roof made the house seem to beetle its brows and
loom above him. A Baptist grandfather of a house.
He went to the porch and after a moment of hesitation, through the screen door to the fanlighted one beyond.
There was only a wicker chair, a rusty porch swing, and an old discarded knitting basket to watch him go.
Spiders had spun silk in the shadowy upper corners. He knocked.
There was silence, inhabited silence. He was about to knock again when a chair someplace inside wheezed
deeply in its throat. It was a tired sound. Silence. Then the slow, dreadfully patient sound of old, overburdened
feet finding their way up the hall. Counterpoint of cane: Whock... whock... whock...
The floorboards creaked and whined. A shadow, huge and unformed in the pearled glass, bloomed on the
fanlight. Endless sound of fingers laboriously solving the riddle of chain, bolt, and hasp lock. The door opened.
"Hello," the nasal voice said flatly. "You're Mr. Nately. You've rented the cottage. My husband's cottage."
"Yes." Gerald said, his tongue swelling in his throat. "That's right. And you're-"
"Mrs. Leighton," the nasal voice said, pleased with either his quickness or her name, though neither was
remarkable. "I'm Mrs. Leighton."

"You write." She hadn't offered him in.
"That's about the size of it," he said, and laughed to cover his own sudden shrinking from that metaphor.
"Will you show me some after you get settled?" she asked. Her eyes seemed perpetually luminous and wistful.
They were not touched by the age that had run riot in the rest of her
