chapter 5
"They left quietly in the dark before the moon had risen. The family
stood formally in the house of Juan Tomas. Juana carried Coyotito on
her back, covered and held in by her head shawl, and the baby slept,
cheek turned sideways against her shoulder. The head shawl covered the
baby, and one end of it came across Juana's nose to protect her from
the evil night air. Juan Tomas embraced his brother with the double
embrace and kissed him on both cheeks. "
