He
touched
his
breast
.
552
She
moved
toward
him
lithely
,
soundlessly
in
her
bare
feet
,
and
her
face
was
full
of
wonder
.
Her
small
hand
felt
his
arm
,
felt
the
soundness
of
his
muscles
.
And
then
her
fingers
went
up
to
his
cheek
as
a
blind
man
s
fingers
might
.
And
her
joy
was
nearly
like
sorrow
.
Tom
pulled
his
underlip
between
his
teeth
and
bit
it
.
Her
eyes
went
wonderingly
to
his
bitten
lip
,
and
she
saw
the
little
line
of
blood
against
his
teeth
and
the
trickle
of
blood
down
his
lip
.
Then
she
knew
,
and
her
control
came
back
,
and
her
hand
dropped
.
Her
breath
came
out
explosively
.
"
Well
!
"
she
cried
.
"
We
come
mighty
near
to
goin
without
ya
.
An
we
was
wonderin
how
in
the
worl
you
could
ever
find
us
.
"
She
picked
up
the
fork
and
combed
the
boiling
grease
and
brought
out
a
dark
curl
of
crisp
pork
.
And
she
set
the
pot
of
tumbling
coffee
on
the
back
of
the
stove
.
553
Old
Tom
giggled
,
"

We
aimed
to

,
and

Ma
chuckled
and
took
down
a
heap
of
tin
plates
from
a
shelf
.
555
Tom
asked
,
"
Where
is
Grampa
?
I
ain
t
seen
the
ol
devil
.
"
Ma
stacked
the
plates
on
the
kitchen
table
and
piled
cups
beside
them
.
She
said
confidentially
,
"
Oh

barn
.
They

so
much
in

"
His
words
tumbled
out
between
chuckles
.
"
Oh
,
we
had
lively
times
.
One
night
when
ever

But

557
Ma
said
,
"

"
A
course
,
"
said
Pa
.
"
I
should
of
did
it
before
.
"
He
went
out
the
door
and
crossed
the
yard
,
swinging
his
hands
high
.
559
Tom
watched
him
go
,
and
then
his
mother
s
voice
called
his
attention
.
She
was
pouring
coffee
.
She
did
not
look
at
him
.
"
Tommy
,
"
she
said
hesitantly
,
timidly
.
560
"
Yeah
?
"
His
timidity
was
set
off
by
hers
,
a
curious
embarrassment
.
