He was winning. "Filthy old harridan," he said to her. New wrinkles
|
|||
|
|
appeared on her face, more color faded from her hair, and her expression grew
|
|||
|
|
more peevish.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Fat swine, stinking hog, tub of stale lard," she mumbled through what
|
|||
|
|
teeth she still had, and he grunted as the roll of fat hanging over his belt
|
|||
|
|
sagged further. He wiped his forehead with his right hand and almost retched
|
|||
|
|
from the hand's new stench. "Greasy pig," she added, at a loss.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
He saw her weakness. "Decrepit, raddled crone," he said. "Ancient senile
|
|||
|
|
hag." His tone and thoughts were more vicious than the words, and her hair
|
|||
|
|
blanched and began to fall out in tufts. Her skin grew translucent with age
|
|||
|
|
and grew brown spots; her spine bent and she could not straighten it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Schmaltz," she said, spitting out a tooth and trembling. Even to him she
|
|||
|
|
looked pitiable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
He let his mind stray for a moment. Without meaning to, he thought of his
|
|||
|
|
lost love, and looked at his foe. A ghost of his beloved's expression appeared
|
|||
|
|
on the ravaged face. His eyes filled with tears; he blinked and they wet his
|
|||
|
|
cheeks. "Dear child," he said.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At once her back grew straight, and the spots faded from her skin.
|
|||
|
|
"Ancient, dying old heap of blubber," she said, clearly.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The pain could have been worse. Angina pectoris, he thought. He shook
|
|||
|
|
his head. "Sweet young lady," he said, between groans.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Cholesterol-clogged, plaque-ridden old lardbucket," she said: soft brown
|
|||
|
|
hair sprouting on her scalp, white wisps attached to much of it. Her skin was
|
|||
|
|
perhaps forty. Her expression was malicious and triumphant, her teeth very
|
|||
|
|
white in her changing face.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
He winced this time. "Gracious, merciful young maiden," he said, in as
|
|||
|
|
normal a tone as he could, given his agony. He groped for the right words and
|
|||
|
|
thoughts. "Kind, forgiving child."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The cruelty and hatred drained out of her; she stared at him, blankly at
|
|||
|
|
first, and then with growing horror on what was now a girl's face. She
|
|||
|
|
swallowed hard a few times. "Hale old gentleman," she whispered, and began to
|
|||
|
|
cry.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
At once he felt better. "Ravishing young lady," he said.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
She wiped her eyes with her pale, delicate young hands. "Strong, healthy
|
|||
|
|
man," she said in a high, resonant voice.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
His clothes were comfortable again. He glanced at his forearms: the skin
|
|||
|
|
was lightly tanned, the subcutaneous fat almost back to normal.
|
|||
|
|
"Exquisite queen among women."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
She had grown remarkably beautiful. She pushed her long, wavy auburn hair
|
|||
|
|
away from her face, and smiled at him. "Handsome, regal, muscular young man,"
|
|||
|
|
she said.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
He felt himself changing, felt the weight shifting and the muscles
|
|||
|
|
growing. "Beloved," he said to her.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Beloved," she said to him.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
They embraced. They kissed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Presently they walked off together, arm in arm, murmuring endearments and
|
|||
|
|
improving each other.
