List of Illustrations
Nancy Stood Staring at Her, With Words Beyond Saying In Her Heart—words
That Rose in Her Throat and Choked Her
“You Believe, Maybe, That You Would Be Struck Dead if You Said the
Things That I Do; But Why Ain't I Struck Dead?”
“It's my Cloth! I Spun It, I Wove It, Every Thread! It's All
We've Got for Our Clothes This Winter!”
“Now You Can See How It Feels to Have Your Own Husband Slap
You.”
She Had Begun to Wash his Wound, Very Gently, Though She Spoke So Roughly,
While he Murmured With the Pain and With The Comfort Of The Pain
They Swarmed Forward to the Altar-place and Flung Themselves on the
Ground, and Heaped The Pulpit-steps With Their Bodies
“And he Went Down Ag'in, and when He Come up Ag'in, His Face Was All
Soakin' Wet, Like He'd Been Crying Under the Water”
