" 'Nuff said," Harv blurted. It was clear that he had already worked 
all of this out in his head as he sat on the
riverbank and was only waiting for the adults to catch up with his logic. 
Before Nell understood what was going on, he came up to her and gave her a hug 
and a kiss on the lips. Then he turned away from her and began running across a 
green field, down toward the ocean. Nell ran after him, but she could not keep 
up, and finally she fell down in a stand of bluebells and watched Harv dissolve 
into a curtain of tears. When she could no longer see him, she curled up 
sobbing, and in time Rita came and gathered her up in her strong arms and 
carried her slowly back across the field to the Millhouse where the steady 
wheel rolled.
