But Chita's bird-bright eye had discerned a gleam of white in that direction; and she wanted to know what it was. The white could only be seen from one point, behind the furthest house, where the ground was high. "Never go there," said Carmen; "there is a Dead Man there, will bite you!" And yet, one day, while Carmen was unusually busy, Chita went there.
If that was his wife, the little brown Carmen, whence Chita's sunny hair? ... And this was part of that same desolate shore whither the Last Island dead had been drifted by that tremendous surge! On a clear day, with a good glass, one might discern from here the long blue streak of that ghastly coast ... Somewhere between here and there ... Merciful God! ... ... But again!
But the pious woman's heart smote her the next moment for that first harsh word; and she caressed the motherless one, consoled her, cheered her, and at last explained to her I know not how something very wonderful about the little figurine, something that made Chita's eyes big with awe. Thereafter she always regarded the Virgin of Wax as an object mysterious and holy.
