Subject: Mermaid In a Bowl of Tears, Chapters 44 & 45

Chapter 44, An Examination of Conscience

'It had been a long time since Pamela had sought the comfort of the church.'

Photobucket


Pamela is still struggling with her guilt over Love Hagerty. She and Lawrence have taken to helping Father Lawrence at a local parish, where she instantly feels at peace while at the same time, unworthy to be there. She, in a round about way, touches on her fears and hopes of heaven, with Fr. Lawrence.
'Perhaps Pamela, Father Jim finally said, it's more a matter of forgiving yourself, rather than needing God's forgiveness. The two things are, many times, one and the same.'

Patrick has been released, Pamela's joy at seeing him is overshadowed when she initially mistakes him for Casey.

We learn that Pamela as taken a job with the RUC, photographing crime scenes. She has used her mother's maiden name to get the job.
She has been receiving anonymous cryptic notes regarding Brian Riordan. The only distinguishing factor in each note being the two interlocking rings at the top of the paper.

Why does she not tell Jamie about the notes? She seems able to tell him anything, complete honesty sometimes between them.


Part Four When the Dark Night Seems Endless
Chapter 45, Letter from Beyond

'There was no chance of getting into the file room until after lunch'

Photobucket

A key has shown up with one of the mysterious puzzle notes, it is to the file room at the police station and Pamela bides her time to use it.
Though she is unsure exactly what she is looking for, it appears that her anonymous correspondent has planted or marked her way. She finds paperwork which implicates that Brian Riordan was murdered.
