2 A Swiftly Tilting Planet

The big kitchen of the Murrys' house was bright and warm, curtains drawn
against
the dark outside, against the rain driving past the house from the northeast.
Meg Murry O'Keefe had made an arrangement of chrysanthemums for the dining
table, and the yellow, bronze, and pale-gold blossoms seemed to add light to
the
room. A delectable smell of roasting turkey came from the oven, and her
mother
stood by the stove, stirring the giblet gravy.
It was good to be home for Thanksgiving, she thought, to be with the reunited
family, catching up on what each one had been doing. The twins, Sandy and
Dennys, home
4
from law and medical schools, were eager to hear about Calvin, her husband,
and
the conference he was attending in London, where he was-perhaps at this very
minute-giving a paper on the immunological system of chordates.
"It's a tremendous honor for him, isn't it, Sis?" Sandy asked.
"Enormous."
"And how about you, Mrs. O'Keefe?" Dennys smiled at her. "Still seems strange
to
call you Mrs. O'Keefe."
"Strange to me, too." Meg looked over at the rocker by the fireplace, where
her
mother-in-law was sitting, staring into the flames; she was the one who was
Mrs.
O'Keefe to Meg. "I'm fine," she replied to Sandy. "Absolutely fine."
Dennys, already very much the doctor, had taken his stethoscope, of which he
was
enormously proud, and put it against Meg's burgeoning belly, beaming with
pleasure as he heard the strong heartbeat of the baby within. "You are fine,
indeed."
She returned the smile, then looked across the room to her youngest brother,
Charles Wallace, and to their father, who were deep in concentration, bent
over
the model they were building of a tesseract: the square squared, and squared
again: a construction of the dimension of time. It was a beautiful and
complicated creation of steel wires and ball bearings and Lucite, parts of it
revolving, parts swinging like pendulums.
Charles Wallace was small for his fifteen years; a stranger might have
guessed
him to be no more than twelve; but the expression in his light blue eyes as he
5 5
watched his father alter one small rod on the model was mature and highly
intelligent. He had been silent all day, she thought. He seldom talked much,
but
his silence on this Thanksgiving day, as the approaching storm moaned around
the
house and clapped the shingles on the roof, was different from his usual lack
of
chatter.
Meg's mother-in-law was also silent, but that was not surprising. What was
surprising was that she had agreed to come to them for Thanksgiving dinner.
Mrs.
O'Keefe must have been no more than a few years older than Mrs. Murry, but
she
looked like an old woman. She had lost most of her teeth, and her hair was
yellowish and unkempt, and looked as if it had been cut with a blunt knife.
Her
habitual expression was one of resentment. Life had not been kind to her, and
she was angry with the world, especially with the Murrys. They had not
expected
her to accept the invitation, particularly with Calvin in London. None of
Calvin's family responded to the Murrys' friendly overtures. Calvin was, as
he
had explained to Meg at their first meeting, a biological sport, totally
different from the rest of his family, and when he received his M.D./Ph.D.
they
took that as a sign that he had joined the ranks of the enemy. And Mrs.
O'Keefe
shared the attitude of many of the villagers that Mrs. Murry's two earned
Ph.D.s, and her experiments in the stone lab which adjoined the kitchen, did
not
constitute proper work. Because she had achieved considerable recognition,
her
puttering was tolerated, but it was not work, in the sense that keeping a
clean
house was work, or having a nine-to-five job in factory or office was work.
6
-How could that woman have produced my husband? Meg wondered for the
hundredth
time, and imaged Calvin's alert expression and open smile. -Mother says
there's
more to her than meets the eye, but I haven't seen it yet. All I know is that
she doesn't like me, or any of the family. I don't know why she came for
dinner.
I wish she hadn't.
The twins had automatically taken over their old job of setting the table.
Sandy
paused, a handful of forks in his hand, to grin at their mother.
"Thanksgiving
dinner is practically the only meal Mother cooks in the kitchen-"
"-instead of out in the lab on her Bunsen burner," Dennys concluded.
Sandy patted her shoulder affectionately. "Not that we're criticizing,
Mother."
. "After all, those Bunsen-burner stews did lead directly to the Nobel Prize.
We're really very proud of you, Mother, although you and Father give us a
heck
of a lot to live up to."
"Keeps our standards high." Sandy took a pile of plates from the kitchen
dresser, counted them, and set them in front of the big platter which would
hold
the turkey.
-Home, Meg thought comfortably, and regarded her parents and brothers with
affectionate gratitude. They had put up with her all through her prickly
adolescence, and she still did not feel very grown up. It seemed only a few
months ago that she had had braces on her teeth, crooked spectacles that
constantly slipped down her nose, unruly mouse-brown hair, and a wistful
certainty that she would never grow up to be a beautiful and self-confident
7 7
woman like her mother. Her inner vision of herself was still more the
adolescent
Meg than the attractive young woman she had become. The braces were gone, the
spectacles replaced by contact lenses, and though her chestnut hair might not
quite rival her mother's rich auburn, it was thick and lustrous and became
her
perfectly, pulled softly back from her face into a knot at the nape of her
slender neck. When she looked at herself objectively in the mirror she knew
that
she was lovely, but she was not yet accustomed to the fact. It was hard to
believe that her mother had once gone through the same transition.
She wondered if Charles Wallace would change physically as much as she had.
All
his outward development had been slow. Their parents thought he might make a
sudden spurt in growth.
She missed Charles Wallace more than she missed the twins or her parents. The
eldest and the youngest in the family, their rapport had always been deep,
and
Charles Wallace had an intuitive sense of Meg's needs which could not be
accounted for logically; if something in Meg's world was wrong, he knew, and
was
there to be with her, to help her if only by assuring her of his love and
trust.
She felt a deep sense of comfort in being with him for this Thanksgiving
weekend, in being home. Her parents' house was still home, because she and
Calvin spent many weekends there, and their apartment near Calvin's hospital
was
a small, furnished one, with a large sign saying no pets, and an aura that
indicated that children would not be welcomed, either. They hoped to be
8
able to look for a place of their own soon. Meanwhile, she was home for
Thanksgiving, and it was good to see the gathered family and to be surrounded
by
their love, which helped ease her loneliness at being separated from Calvin
for
the first time since their marriage.
"I miss Fortinbras," she said suddenly.
Her mother turned from the stove. "Yes. The house feels empty without a dog.
But
Fort died of honorable old age."
"Aren't you going to get another dog?"
"Eventually. The right one hasn't turned up yet."
"Couldn't you go look for a dog?"
Mr. Murry looked up from the tesseract. "Our dogs usually come to us. If one
doesn't, in good time, then we'll do something about it."
"Meg," her mother suggested, "how about making the hard sauce for the plum
pudding?"
"Oh-of course." She opened the refrigerator and got out half a pound of
butter.
The phone rang.
"I'll get it." Dropping the butter into a small mixing bowl en route, she
went
to the telephone. "Father, it's for you. I think it's the White House."
Mr. Murry went quickly to the phone. "Mr. President, hello!" He was smiling,
and
Meg watched as the smile was wiped from his face and replaced with an
expression
of-what? Nothingness, she thought.
The twins stopped talking. Mrs. Murry stood, her wooden spoon resting against
the lip of the saucepan. Mrs. O'Keefe continued to stare morosely into the
fire.
9 g
Charles Wallace appeared to be concentrating on the tesseract.
-Father is just listening, Meg thought. -The President is doing the talking.
She gave an involuntary shudder. One minute the room had been noisy with
eager
conversation, and suddenly they were all silent, their movements arrested.
She
listened, intently, while her father continued to hold the phone to his ear.
His
face looked grim, all the laughter lines deepening to sternness. Rain lashed
against the windows. -It ought to snow at this time of year, Meg thought.
-There's something wrong with the weather. There's something wrong.
Mr. Murry continued to listen silently, and his silence spread across the
room.
Sandy had been opening the oven door to baste the turkey and snitch a
spoonful
of stuffing, and he stood still, partly bent over, looking at his father.
Mrs.
Murry turned slightly from the stove and brushed one hand across her hair,
which
was beginning to be touched with silver at the temples. Meg had opened the
drawer for the beater, which she held tightly.
It was not unusual for Mr. Murry to receive a call from the President. Over
the
years he had been consulted by the White House on matters of physics and
space
travel; other conversations had been serious, many disturbing, but this, Meg
felt, was different, was causing the warm room to feel colder, look less
bright.
"Yes, Mr. President, I understand," Mr. Murry said at last. "Thank you for
calling." He put the receiver down slowly, as though it were heavy.
10
Dennys, his hands still full of silver for the table, asked, "What did he
say?"
Their father shook his head. He did not speak.
Sandy closed the oven door. "Father?"
Meg cried, "Father, we know something's happened. You have to tell us-please."
His voice was cold and distant. "War."
Meg put her hand protectively over her belly. "Do you mean nuclear war?"
The family seemed to draw together, and Mrs. Murry reached out a hand to
include
Calvin's mother. But Mrs. O'Keefe closed her eyes and excluded herself.
"Is it Mad Dog Branzillo?" asked Meg.
"Yes. The President feels that this time Branzillo is going to carry out his
threat, and then we'll have no choice but to use our antiballistic missiles."
"How would a country that small get a missile?" Sandy asked.
"Vespugia is no smaller than Israel, and Branzillo has powerful friends."
"He really can carry out this threat?"
Mr. Murry assented.
"Is there a red alert?" Sandy asked.
"Yes. The President says we have twenty-four hours in which to try to avert
tragedy, but I have never heard him sound so hopeless. And he does not give
up
easily."
The blood drained from Meg's face. "That means the end of everything, the end
of
the world." She looked toward Charles Wallace, but he appeared almost as
withdrawn as Mrs. O'Keefe. Charles Wallace, who was always
11
there for her, was not there now. And Calvin was an ocean away. With a
feeling
of terror she turned back to her father.
He did not deny her words.
The old woman by the fireplace opened her eyes and twisted her thin lips
scornfully. "What's all this? Why would the President of the United States
call
here? You playing some kind of joke on me?" The fear in her eyes belied her
words.
"It's no joke, Mrs. O'Keefe," Mrs. Murry explained. "For a number of years
the
White House has been in the habit of consulting my husband."
"I didn't know he"-Mrs. O'Keefe darted a dark glance at Mr. Murry-"was a
politician."
"He's not. He's a physicist. But the President needs scientific information
and
needs it from someone he can trust, someone who has no pet projects to fund
or
political positions to support. My husband has become especially close to the
new President." She stirred the gravy, then stretched her hands out to her
husband in supplication. "But why? Why? When we all know that no one can win
a
nuclear war."
Charles Wallace turned from the tesseract. "El Rabioso. That's his nickname.
Mad
Dog Branzillo."
"El Rabioso seems singularly appropriate for a man who overthrew the
democratic
government with a wild and bloody coup d'etat. He is mad, indeed, and there
is
no reason in him."
"One madman in Vespugia," Dennys said bitterly, "can push a button and it
will
destroy civilization, and every-
12
thing Mother and Father have worked for will go up in a mushroom cloud. Why
couldn't the President make him see reason?"
Sandy fed a fresh log onto the fire, as though taking hope from the warmth
and
light.
Dennys continued, "If Branzillo does this, sends missiles, it could destroy
the
entire human race-"
Sandy scowled ferociously. "-which might not be so bad-"
"-and even if a few people survive in sparsely inhabited mountains and
deserts,
there'd be so much fallout all over the planet that their children would be
mutants. Why couldn't the President make him see? Nobody wants war at that
price."
"It's not for lack of trying," Mr. Murry said, "but El Rabioso deserves his
nickname. If he has to fall, he'd just as soon take the human race with him."
"So they send missiles from Vespugia, and we return ours to them, and all for
what?" Sandy's voice cracked with anger.
"El Rabioso sees this as an act of punishment, of just retribution. The
Western
world has used up more than our share of the world's energy, the world's
resources, and we must be punished," Mr. Murry said. "We are responsible for
the
acutely serious oil and coal shortage, the defoliation of trees, the grave
damage to the atmosphere, and he is going to make us pay."
"We stand accused," Sandy said, "but if he makes us pay, Vespugia will pay
just
as high a price."
Mrs. O'Keefe stretched her wrinkled hands out to the
13
flames. "At Tara in this fateful hour . . ." she mumbled.
Meg looked at her mother-in-law questioningly, but the old woman turned away.
Meg said to the room at large, "I know it's selfish, but I wish Calvin
weren't
in London giving that paper. I wish I'd gone with him."
"I know, love," Mrs. Murry replied, "but Dr. Louise thought you should stay
here."
"I wish I could at least phone him . . ."
Charles Wallace moved out of his withdrawn silence to say, "It hasn't
happened
yet, nuclear war. No missiles have been sent. As long as it hasn't happened,
there's a chance that it may not happen."
A faint flicker of hope moved across Meg's face. -Would it be better, she
wondered, -if we were like the rest of the world and didn't know the horrible
possibility of our lives being snuffed out before another sun rises? How do
we
prepare?
". . . in this fateful hour," the old woman mumbled again, but turned her
head
away when the Murrys looked at her.
Charles Wallace spoke calmly to the whole family, but looked at Meg. "It's
Thanksgiving, and except for Calvin, we're all together, and Calvin's mother
is
with us, and that's important, and we all know where Calvin's heart is; it's
right here."
"England doesn't observe Thanksgiving," Sandy remarked.
"But we do." His father's voice was resolute. "Finish setting the table,
please.
Dennys, will you fill the glasses?"
14 14A Swiftly Tilting Planet
While Mr. Murry carved, and Mrs. Murry thickened the gravy, Meg finished
beating
the hard sauce, and the twins and Charles Wallace carried bowls of rice,
stuffing, vegetables, cranberry sauce, to the table. Mrs. O'Keefe did not
move
to help. She looked at her work-worn hands, then dropped them into her lap.
"At
Tara in this fateful hour . . ."
This time nobody heard her.
Sandy, trying to joke, said, "Remember the time Mother tried to make oatmeal
cookies over the Bunsen burner, in a frying pan?"
"They were edible," Dennys said.
"Almost anything is, to your appetite."
"Which, despite everything, is enormous."
"And it's time to go to the table," Mrs. Murry said.
When they were in their places she automatically held out her hands, and then
the family, with Mrs. O'Keefe between Mr. Murry and Meg, was linked around
the
table.
Charles Wallace suggested, "Let's sing Dona nobis pacem. It's what we're all
praying for."
"Sandy'd better start then," Meg said. "He's got the best voice. And then
Dennys
and Mother, and then Father and you and I."
They raised their voices in the old round, singing over and over, Give us
peace,
give us peace, give us peace.
Meg's voice trembled, but she managed to sing through to the end.
There was silence as the plates were served, silence instead of the usual
happy
noise of conversation.
15 15
"Strange," Mr. Murry said, "that the ultimate threat should come from a South
American dictator in an almost unknown little country. White meat for you,
Meg?"
"Dark, too, please. Isn't it ironic that all this should be happening on
Thanksgiving?"
Mrs. Murry said, "I remember my mother telling me about one spring, many
years
ago now, when relations between the United States and the Soviet Union were
so
tense that all the experts predicted nuclear war before the summer was over.
They weren't alarmists or pessimists; it was a considered, sober judgment.
And
Mother said that she walked along the lane wondering if the pussy willows
would
ever bud again. After that, she waited each spring for the pussy willows,
remembering, and never took their budding for granted again."
Her husband nodded. "There was a reprieve then. There may be again."
"But is it likely?" Sandy's brown eyes were sober.
"It wasn't likely then. The pussy willows, nevertheless, have budded for a
good
many springs." He passed cranberry sauce to Mrs. O'Keefe.
"In this fateful hour," she mumbled, and waved the sauce away.
He bent toward her. "What was that?"
"At Tara in this fateful hour," she said irritably. "Can't remember.
Important.
Don't you know it?"
"I'm afraid not. What is it?"
"Rune. Rune. Patrick's rune. Need it now."
Calvin's mother had always been taciturn. At home she had communicated
largely
in grunts. Her children, with
16
the exception of Calvin, had been slow to speak, because they seldom heard a
complete sentence until they went to school. "My grandmother from Ireland."
Mrs.
O'Keefe pointed at Charles Wallace and knocked over her glass.
Dennys fetched paper towels and mopped up the spilled liquid. "I suppose,
cosmically speaking, it doesn't make much difference whether or not our
second-rate little planet blows itself up."
"Dennys!" Meg cried, then turned to her mother. "Excuse me for using this as
an
example, but Den, remember when Mother isolated farandolae within a
mitochondrion?"
He interrupted, "Of course I remember. That's what she got the Nobel Prize
for."
Mrs. Murry held up her hand. "Let Meg speak."
"Okay then: farandolae are so minuscule and insignificant it doesn't seem
they
could possibly have any importance, and yet they live in a symbiotic
relationship with mitochondria-"
"Okay, gotcha. And mitochondria provide us with our energy, so if anything
affects our farandolae, that can affect our mitochondria-"
"And," Meg concluded, "if that happens, we could die from energy loss, as you
well know."
"Go on," Sandy said.
"So if we blow up our planet it would certainly have some small effect on our
solar system, and that could affect our galaxy, and that could . . ."
"The old chain-reaction theory?" Sandy asked.
17
"More than that. Interdependence. Not just one thing leading to another in a
straight line, but everything and everyone everywhere interreacting."
Dennys threw out the wet paper towels, put a clean napkin over the soiled
tablecloth, and refilled Mrs. O'Keefe's glass. Despite storm windows, the
drawn
curtains stirred and a draft moved across the room. Heavy drops of rain
spattered down the chimney, making the fire hiss. "I still think," he said,
"that you're overestimating the importance of this planet. We've made a mess
of
things. Maybe it's best we get blown up."
"Dennys, you're a doctor," Meg reprimanded.
"Not yet," Sandy said.
"But he's going to be! He's supposed to care about and guard life."
"Sorry, Sis," Dennys said swiftly.
"It's just his way of whistling in the dark." Sandy helped himself to rice
and
gravy, then raised his glass to his sister. "Might as well go out on a full
stomach."
"I mean it and I don't mean it," Dennys said. "I do think we've got our
priorities wrong, we human beings. We've forgotten what's worth saving and
what's not, or we wouldn't be in this mess."
"Mean, don't mean," Mrs. O'Keefe grunted. "Never understand what you people
are
going on about. Even you." And again she pointed at Charles Wallace, though
this
time she did not overturn her glass.
Sandy glanced across the table at his baby brother, who looked pale and
small.
"Charles, you've eaten hardly anything, and you're not talking."
18
Charles Wallace replied, looking not at Sandy but at his sister, "I'm
listening."
She pricked up her ears. "To what?"
He shook his head so slightly that only she saw; and stopped questioning.
"At Tara in this fateful hour I place all Heaven with its power!" Mrs.
O'Keefe
pointed at Charles and knocked over her glass again.
This time nobody moved to mop up.
"My grandma from Ireland. She taught me. Set great store on it. I place all
Heaven with its power . . ." Her words dribbled off.
Mrs. O'Keefe's children called her Mom. From everybody except Calvin it
sounded
like an insult. Meg found it difficult to call her mother-in-law anything,
but
now she pushed her chair away from the table and knelt by the old woman.
"Mom,"
she said gently, "what did your grandmother teach you?"
"Set great store on it to ward off the dark."
"But what?"
"... All Heaven with its power" Mrs. O'Keefe said in a singsong way,
"And the sun with its brightness, And the snow with its whiteness, And the
fire
with all the strength it hath-"
At that moment it seemed as though a bucketful of water had been dumped down
the
chimney onto the fire. The flames flickered wildly, and gusts of smoke blew
into
the room.
19
"The fire with all the strength it hath," Charles Wallace repeated firmly.
The applewood logs sizzled but the flames gathered strength and began to burn
brightly again.
Mrs. O'Keefe put a gnarled hand on Meg's shoulder and pressed down heavily as
though it helped her to remember.
"And the-the lightning with its rapid wrath, And the winds with their
swiftness
along their path-"
The wind gave a tremendous gust, and the house shook under the impact, but
stood
steady.
Mrs. O'Keefe pressed until Meg could barely stand the weight.
"And the sea with its deepness, And the rocks with their steepness, And the
earth with its starkness-"
Using Meg's shoulder as a lever, she pushed herself up and stood facing the
bright flames in the fireplace.
"All these I place By God's almighty help and grace Between myself and the
powers of darkness."
Her voice rose triumphantly. "That'll teach Mad Dog Bran-what's-his name."
The twins looked at each other as though embarrassed. Mr. Murry carved some
more
turkey. Mrs. Murry's face was serene and uncommunicative. Charles Wallace
looked
thoughtfully at Mrs. O'Keefe. Meg rose from her knees and returned to her
chair,
escaping the unbeliev-
20
ably heavy pressure of her mother-in-law's hand. She was sure that her
shoulder
was going to hold black and blue finger marks.
As Meg moved away, Mrs. O'Keefe seemed to crumple. She collapsed into her
chair.
"Set high store on that, my grandma did. Haven't thought of it in years.
Tried
not to think. So why'd it come to me tonight?" She gasped, as though
exhausted.
"It's something like Patrick's Breastplate," Sandy said. "We sang that in
glee
club in college. It was one of my favorites. Marvelous harmonies."
"Not a song," Mrs. O'Keefe contradicted. "A rune. Patrick's rune. To hold up
against danger. In this fateful hour I place all Heaven with its power-"
Without warning, the lights went out. A gust of wind dashed across the table,
blowing out the candles. The humming of the refrigerator ceased. There was no
purring from the furnace in the cellar. A cold dampness clutched the room,
filling their nostrils with a stench of decay. The flames in the fireplace
dwindled.
"Say it, Mom!" Charles Wallace called. "Say it all!"
Mrs. O'Keefe's voice was weak. "I forget-"
The lightning outside was so brilliant that light penetrated the closed
curtains. A tremendous crash of thunder followed immediately.
"I'll say it with you." Charles Wallace's voice was urgent. "But you'll have
to
help me. Come on. In this fateful hour I place all Heaven with its power . .
."
Lightning and thunder were almost simultaneous. Then they heard a gigantic
crackling noise.
21
"One of the trees has been struck," Mr. Murry said.
"All Heaven with its power," Charles Wallace repeated.
The old woman's voice took up the words. "And the sun with its brightness . .
."
Dennys struck a match and lit the candles. At first the flames flickered and
guttered wildly, but then steadied and burned straight and bright.
"And the snow with its whiteness, And the fire with all the strength it hath
And
the lightning with its rapid wrath . . ."
Meg waited for the lightning to flash again, for the house itself to be
struck.
Instead, the power came back on as abruptly as it had gone off. The furnace
began to hum. The room was filled with light and warmth.
". . . And the sea with its deepness, And the rocks with their steepness, And
the earth with its starkness, All these I place
By God's almighty help and grace Between myself and the powers of darkness."
Charles Wallace lifted the curtains away from one corner of the window. "The
rain's turned to snow. The ground's all white and beautiful."
"All right-" Sandy looked around the room. "What's this all about? I know
something's happened, but what?"
For a moment no one spoke. Then Meg said, "Maybe there's hope."
22 22A Swiftly Tilting Planet
Sandy waved her words away. "Really, Meg, be reasonable."
"Why? We don't live in a reasonable world. Nuclear war is not reasonable.
Reason
hasn't got us anywhere."
"But you can't throw it out. Branzillo is mad and there's no reason in him."
Dennys said, "Okay, Sandy, I agree with you. But what happened?"
Meg glanced at Charles Wallace, but he had his withdrawn, listening look.
Sandy replied, "Much as we'd like it to, a freak of weather here in the
Northeastern United States isn't going to have anything to do with whether or
not a South American madman pushes that button to start the war that very
likely
