He found her waiting for him, looking back, at the turn of the stair where John Greatorex's coffin had stuck in the corner of the wall. "Jim I'm so frightened," she said. "Ay. Yo'll bae all right downstairs." They stood in the kitchen, each looking at the other, each panting, she in her terror and he in his agony. "Take me away," she said. "Out of the house.
