You don't know those days of complete misery and utter hopelessness, and
what his coming meant. He seemed like a great big sun bursting through
a cyclone. I think he understands that there is, and always will be, a
very big, warm place in Cottonton's heart for him. At least, we-all have

meet hers.
"You," whispered the girl again.
