How does the story end?

In the stories closing, the angel molts his feathers and gets a fever. On the verge of death-the prospect of which worries Pelayo and Elisenda, because they don't know what to do with a dead angel-the angel recovers. He grows new feathers in December, keeping his improvement a secret and singing sea shanties to the moon at night. One morning, as Elisenda cuts onions in the kitchen, the angel tests his wings. He appears clumsy at first, but eventually flies off to the horizon, leaving Elisenda very relieved indeed.
