We understand it well enough, but its all donewith
now.
I could see it as plain as if my eyes werent
bandaged. He hoped MGovern wouldcome and blackmail me too and Id kill
him.
She was tryingto suppress her laughter, but it

A few hours before Harriet arrived Cabell was
sitting up in beddemanding food.
But you smell too, with a smell youll neverwash
off.
Cabell put his hand over the empty red socket of

reassurehim.
She folded her hands in her lap and said, Go on,
Father.
It annoyed him to seeHarriet so well, so satisfied,
so unchastened. I could see it as plain as if my eyes werent bandaged. Suddenly he
stopped and said, Go andput my saddle on.
I could see it as plain as if my eyes werent
bandaged.
It would bedangerous to disturb him, the doctor
said. Sambo was playing his mouth-organ under the flame-tree in thebackyard. Ah yes,
the houseburnt down, the old house.
