He said, broken: ''I won't run

Ciaire's mother was dead-killed

But Claire had gone through

One leg was crushed. They did
not know yet IL she was inter-

they could save her leg or how
MORALLY her face was hurt.
They did not know IL she would
live: or il she were going to die.
So he stood holding to Roen,
his head lowered to her strong,
healthy shoulder.
He was shattered by this un.
seemly tragedy. He needed com.

woefully stricken.
She perceived the assault Of his
