wards that she didn't sleep half the
night.
Ronald watched her as she stood like
an Amazon in the doorway and gave
two long echoing blasts on the horn.
Then she came back to him.

A moment later the sheriff came into
the passage painting and perspiring.
'Well, / lowed the niggers had riz, !"

Briefly Ronald explained what he had
come for and Ratcliff pulled his long
brown beard thoughtfully. He would
have made joke il he were at funeral
and the joke had been at the expense
of the corpse.
