"i my god he didn't live to do it! i my god they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands! " she dropped her eyes which she had raised with her voice, and glared at editha. "what you got that black on for? " she lifted herself by her powerful arms so high that her body seemed to hang limp its full length. "take it off, take it off, before i tear it from your back! "
