Excerpt from The Marrow of Tradition Stay here beside her, major. I shall not be needed for an hour yet. Meanwhile I '11 go down stairs and snatch a bit of Sleep, or talk to Old Jane. The night was hot and sultry. Though the win dows Of the chamber were Wide open, and the muslin curtains looped back, not a breath Of air was stirring. Only the shrill chirp of the cicada and the muf¿ed croaking Of the frogs in some distant marsh broke the night silence. The heavy scent Of magnolias, over powering even the strong smell Of drugs in the sick room, suggested death and funeral wreaths, sorrow and tears, the long home, the last Sleep. The major shivered with apprehension as the Slender hand which he held in his own contracted nervously and in a spasm of pain clutched his fingers with a viselike grip.
