    The Book 

  • Henrietta Clavard and Petra Searles conversation before they die in the fire that destroys the town.
    Petra Searles turns a tearstained and very young face up to Henrietta's. "Will it hurt?"
    "Only for a second, honey. Close your eyes, and when you open them, you'll be bathing your feet in a cool stream."
    Petra speaks her last words. "That sounds nice."
    She closes her eyes. Henrietta does the same. The fire takes them. At one second they're there, at the next... gone.
  • Sammy's gang rape.
  • Sammy's last words before her suicide: "I love you, Little Walter. Mumma loves her boy."
