Mrs
.
Wainwright
sat
down
beside
Ma
and
took
the
cardboard
from
her
and
fanned
the
air
.
Ma
folded
her
hands
in
her
lap
,
and
her
tired
eyes
never
left
the
face
of
Rose
of
Sharon
,
sleeping
in
exhaustion
.
«
Come
on
,
"
Mrs
.
Wainwright
said
.
«
Jus
lay
down
.
You
ll
be
right
beside
her
.
Why
,
you
d
wake
up
if
she
took
a
deep
breath
,
even
.
»
«
Awright
,
I
will
.
»
Ma
stretched
out
on
the
mattress
beside
the
sleeping
girl
.
And
Mrs
.
Wainwright
sat
on
the
floor
and
kept
watch
.
Pa
and
Al
and
Uncle
John
sat
in
the
car
doorway
and
watched
the
steely
dawn
come
.
The
rain
had
stopped
,
but
the
sky
was
deep
and
solid
with
cloud
.
As
the
light
came
,
it
was
reflected
on
the
water
.
The
men
could
see
the
current
of
the
stream
,
slipping
swiftly
down
,
bearing
black
branches
of
trees
,
boxes
,
boards
.
The
water
swirled
into
the
flat
where
the
boxcars
stood
.
There
was
no
sign
of
the
embankment
left
.
On
the
flat
the
current
stopped
.
The
edges
of
the
flood
were
lined
with
yellow
foam
.
Pa
leaned
out
the
door
and
placed
a
twig
on
the
cat
-
walk
,
just
above
the
water
line
.
The
men
watched
the
water
slowly
climb
to
it
,
lift
it
gently
and
float
it
away
.
Pa
placed
another
twig
an
inch
above
the
water
and
settled
back
to
watch
.
