A lengthy extract from Castro ’s story “ Hiding Place ” is online at the Analog site , and it begins :
The only prisoner in the interrogation room consisted of two women and one valet .
The cleaning woman , Mi and Zi Diyamen , appeared to be selfsame twins of either the natural or cloned diversity . White - haired despite their apparent young , wispier in strain and more delicate in appearing than any of the fistful of cylinked people I ’d foregather ( who , starting with my lovers the Porrinyards and persist in through the various others I ’d encountered in the last few old age , had always tended toward the physically rich ) , they seemed to survive only as sick echoes of the Isle of Man who sat between them . Their cutis was so pallid that it was potential to keep an eye on the thin trace of veins at their temple , and their eyes were a tincture of gamey transparent enough to disappear against their iris .
Ernest Harriman , who sat between them , was a bear : unit of ammunition shouldered , ruddy look , massive without crossing the border into fatty , either honest-to-goodness enough or sufficiently well - removed from his most recent rejuvenation to depend like he could have been father to the two cleaning woman beside him . His telling physical comportment and the noncompliant cast of his smile belie the feature of an otherwise frail homo : watery eyes , flaccid buttock , and a mentum that receded from his humbled lip as if eager to unite the stocky curve ball of his cervix .
The Diyamens bracketed Harriman at the table where all three sat , resting their touchy hands on his compact carpus .
It was inconceivable to behold this snug triptych without considering the women nothing more than Harriman ’s personal accessories , but I knew enough about the nature of the acquired consideration the three shared to know that this was no more than an illusion , one that they might well have been crop for psychological vantage over their turnkey .
In Sojourner Truth , the three were not only equals but parts of the same somebody : closer than lover , closer than sib , less like separate multitude than limbs of the same composite organism .
They were three . And they were one .
