Status Updates From Angel Eyes

Who can catch the wind? All you can do is stand in its path and let it possess you.

Oh, my. Charles Endicott and his “what you will”. I.e., “Eyes Wide Shut”. Bleeeech.

Goodness ... all this gallivanting in society and interacting with all these peers & catty fellow American heiresses ... not as exciting as it was meant to be?

Maybe I’m just distracted waiting for the other shoe to drop, for Josie to catch up to Rake & Angelene.

She could even balance on a bicycle, and Mr. Trimble had had the pleassure of teaching her that.

PleasSure... 😆

Where exactly in NY is Angelene’s grandmother? Does she even know?

And how does she know Josie knows the grandma is still alive? Is she keeping track?

They killed my dog.

Is that a “John Wick” reference?

I am of the People of the Plains. My father was a white man, and my mother a woman of the Sioux. We were with him for nine years before he abandoned us completely and forced my mother to return to her people.

“...time & justice were on the side of the man with patience.”

He has a mustache?

“His cool gray was shuttered and his lips, beneath that thick brush of a mustache, had formed into a thin hard line.”

I don’t recall if Rake had talked about his past much. I guess this is the beginning of it - in answer to Angelene‘s query, he said he wanted to get away from civilization because sometimes it isn’t civilized.

He spoke of continuing the morning ritual of sunlight/stream benediction to heal his battered body ... he straddled two worlds (mixed heritage - half Native-American?).

Rake mentioned something about “his mother’s people”. He has darker complexion (maybe just “sun-browned”) ... is he half Native American?
