I thought Miss Axtell would have ventured out on the bridge, far and high, ere now; but no, she says "the time is not yet, that she will wait until Abraham comes home"; and Bernard McKey is content. The solemn old house is closed. No longer Katie opens the door and Kino looks around the corner. Kino died, perhaps of grief: such deaths have been. Miss Axtell has put off the old Dead-Sea-wave face.
