almost twenty-five years ago. Why can’t we just leave it the hell alone? It’s disturbin a deep grave, sure.
    Evan nodded. Your father’s grave.
    â€”Ev, how old is this at all?
    â€”Eighteenth-century, I think.
    â€”Wha, Victorian?
    â€”Seventeen hundreds. I’ll bring those papers to the Admiral’s Rooms tomorrow, see what the head curator can tell me.
    â€”Yes, and then lock them away and get them registered at Rare Docs. Hang on, Rare Docs is after movin again. I think they’re in the old Professor Danielle rink. With any luck it’ll be too cold there for a fire.
    â€”So I’ll be out most of the day.
    â€”No can do, Ev. It’s all hands on deck here tomorrow. ACHE Board meetin tomorrow night, on top of everythin else. I need you there takin the minutes.
    â€”About that: should the assistant to the non-votin government rep really be the one takin minutes?
    â€”I can’t write fast enough. And Jesus, Lewis Wright’s the secretary. I’m not sure he can sign a cheque before sundown even if he starts at the crack of dawn. VOIC Radio boardroom, up to the station on Kenmount Road, seven o’clock sharp.
    â€”I thought the Wrights sold VOIC years ago.
    â€”Wolf Broadcastin bought it, chain from Canada, bad as Tim Hortons or mildew on the bathroom ceilin. But they rent out the board room, solid revenue stream. And we’re lucky to get that boardroom. Jesus, we got no infrastructure in this city, and every time a developer tables a plan, the city denies it for not comin in line with the proper heritage look. Bad enough the government’s spread all over St John’s. Now I got the arts crowd cryin about how we had to close down the Hall for asbestos and mould. I can’t even find a room to get a committee together, and now these friggin actors are comin at me, whinin they got nowhere to go play make-believe. And Seth Seabright, that nuisance, I don’t know who he thinks he is, but he delivered a petition to me this afternoon, by hand, if you please, leanin there behind the media scrum, his dirty old boot sole flat against the antique wall. Jesus. I gotta go. PM’s expectin me. Republic’s work is never done.
    And Chris Jackman tossed the briefcase back onto Evan’s desk, knocking over the framed photo and a cup of coffee left over from the previous week. The briefcase flapped open, and the packet from Mrs O’Dea slid out. Stale coffee marked with fronds of curdled cream flowed and just missed the sealskin.

    Chris Jackman reminded the board of the considerable government funding for this project and the need for accountability and transparency for all projects applying for said funding. He said that Settlement 250 is expected to attract many ex-pats and
