“Well, she’s dead,” I reminded her. Dr. Tuttle put her pen down and folded her hands into prayer. I thought she was going to sing a song, or do some incantation. I didn’t expect her to offer me any pity or sympathy. But instead, she squinched up her face, sneezed violently, turned to wipe her face with a huge bath towel lying on the floor by her desk chair, and scribbled on her pad some more.
Every scene with Dr. Tuttle is just delightful to read. You never know what to expect from the next sentence.
