Ruth beat a hasty retreat back to the shelter of the piano with her collection, fearing lest mirth would get the better of her. At The numbness of that dead youth was still oppressing her heart and brain. I should be happy if I could find the stick, and happier still if this numbness would leave the back of my head.

But the crow is the bird of the devil, because he mocked Christ on the Cross, and he has a cinder for a heart; yet one little crow for ever sits on the wall of Paradise. His friend was dead and in hell, "in the awful Pit of the Great Thirst, with the lidless eyes of Satan fixed unsleepingly upon him," and the crow had in vain implored the robin to bear him a drop of water.
