the late moon arose before the first rooster crowed. Kino opened his eyes in the darkness, for he sensed movement near him, but he did not move. only his eyes searched the darkness, and in the pale light of the moon that crept through the holes in the brush house Kino saw Juana arise silently from beside him. He saw her move toward the fireplace. So carefully did she work that he heard only the lightet sound when she moved the firestone. And then like a shadow she glided toward the door. she paused for a moment beside the hanging bow where Coyotito lay, then for a second she was black in door way.
