out of her paper-white face, the cords on her neck standing out, one vein
pulsing in the center of her forehead. and he was coming more and more awake

the awareness that his darling was gone. An hour later, full of dope and
drifting off to sleep, the sound of the howling wind now soothing rather than
frightening, he thought: Im not going to escape.
