The lost-property clerk was a young man with a pencil behind each ear. He pushed the umbrella across the counter without a word, then tapped the sheet of paper. Read the back, he said. So she turned it over and found a second line, fainter, in the same looping pencil: Keep going. The lettering climbed the page toward the top corner as if it had somewhere to be. Outside, the rain started on the glass roof, steady and certain, and Maureen opened the green umbrella under the station clock and stepped out into it.
