"You do a favor for me, Isham?" "Sure." "I ain't had much of this life, and that's the truth. Work and hunger and pain. I'm afraid"---as he holds her, strokes her hair. "I ain't gonna never leave you, 'less you ask me to. Never, never, never." "There's a woman over at the sawmill 'bout to have a baby. Can you come with me?" "I'll be right there." Kindness in crisis. Leaning on love when facing pain and fear. These people pass the tests that count most. "Are you warmer now?"
