The boy had taken off his cap; the sea-wind moving under the mat of his damp hair gave it the look of some somber, outlandish cowl. With the night coming on, his solemnity had an elfin quality. He found what he was looking for at last, and his fingers had to help his eyes. Beloved Husband of Agnes Willoughby Kain Born 1860 Died 1886 Forgive them, for they know not what they do.
His eager voice trailed off. The colour drained out of his face and there was a shadow in his eyes. He drew back from her the least way. "What is it, Mother? Mother!" Somewhere on the platform outside the conductor's droning " board" ran along the coaches. Agnes Kain opened her white lips. "Get off before it's too late, Christopher. I haven't time to explain now.

And in that moment he knew what Daniel Kain had felt, and Maynard Kain before him; a passionate and contemptuous hatred for all the dullards in the world who never dreamed dreams or saw visions or sang wordless songs or ran naked-hearted in the flood of the full-blown moon.
He read it aloud, for some reason, his voice borne away faintly on the river of air: Here Lie The Earthly Remains Of MAYNARD KAIN, SECOND Born 1835 Died 1862 For the Preservation of the Union His gaze went on to another of those worn stones.
