Chapter Summaries & Analyses
That night, Reine-Marie has dinner with Gamache at the lodge. When they go into the kitchen to compliment the chef, he is surprised to see that Veronique, usually so calm, is upset. Reine-Marie comments that she looks familiar, but cannot place her. When they go outside to look at the stars, Bean joins them, carrying their myth book, and Gamache points out the Pegasus constellation to them.
They see Bert walking down to the dock, and Gamache tells his wife that Bert had known his father and told the others about the connection. Later, back in Three Pines, Reine-Marie realizes why she recognized Chef Veronique and resolves to tell Gamache. When he returns to the lodge, he and his team sit quietly together—he reads poetry, Lacoste calls her family, and Beauvoir reads about bees.
The next day is Canada Day. As Gamache updates Irene on the investigation, she grows increasingly rude, and he becomes more gracious in return. They talk about her children and whether they love each other. Irene brings up Honoré, insulting him to provoke Gamache, but he responds with equanimity, knowing that she is lashing out in pain. She claims that David Martin had kept Julia away from the family and poisoned her against them.
