Chapter VI
The soul of her was loosening fast and straining away, but Jinny Montaubyn followed it. "THERE--IS--NO--DEATH," and her low voice had the tone of a slender silver trumpet. "In a minit yer 'll know--in a minit. Lord," lifting her expectant face, "show her the wye." Mysteriously the clouds were clearing from the sodden face--mysteriously.
