and ran out the door.
She's gone to get some

Betty, Teresa's employer. 1t
was true. my eye was a fear
some sight-bloodshot and
watering. apparently from a
cold that had settled there.
In a few seconds Teresa was

Spanish, she told me to close
my eyes and then gently
passed the herbs over my lids.
murmuring that the wind had
brought the hurt and the herb
would take the wind away.
Betty said that the bit of
greenery was Santa Maria, or

just such troubles as I ap-

enough, by the next morning,
my eye was clear again.

between Josefina and me was
