Donnyhill, who looked like a weather-worn gypsy, went about muttering to herself passionately sorrowful lamentations: "God help us! poor creatur'! poor soul!" and she and Nan bathed Tira's body somehow they were glad to wash off the river water and put on it a set of clothes Nan suspected of being Mrs. Donnyhill's only decent wear.
But if physical ineptitude meant age, Jerry and Charlotte were also old, for Jerry was bewildered beyond the possibility of speech and Charlotte shaken out of her calm. "You come into the kitchen," she said, and Raven followed her, and sank into a chair, set his elbows on the table, and leaned his head in his hands. He was very tired, but Mrs. Donnyhill's boiled tea was inexorably keeping him up.
But when he had reached the little entry between this room and the one where Tira's body lay, she ran to him. "Rookie," she said, "Mrs. Donnyhill's out there with the children. Don't you want to go in and see Tira?" Raven stood for a minute, considering. Then he crossed the entry and Nan, finding he could not, for some reason, put his hand on the latch, opened the door for him, and he went in.
