Them?
Them as won't let the dead rest!
His uncle, Old Matt,
with his fire-spittin' tongue.
That old she-devil crow, Aunt Mollie.
And Pete, without
no brains and no hope.
All of'em makin' Matt a sick soul,
raisin' him to murder,
to murder his pa
who run off and left him.
And all of'em guilting her,
she who never done no hurt
to no one of God's critters.
She?
His mother.
Coot.
It's Coot Royal.
The baby.
Yeah.
She's needin' some elm bark tea.
Poor young'un can't hardly breathe.
She... She's near dyin'.
I... gonies!
No, you don't, Pappy.
You stay here. You're too gaunted.
I'll go with her.
It's just a trot and gallop
down the trail.
I knowed it.
I knowed it when I heared
the fox bark in the night...
when I prayed.
Sammy.
Get a clean rag and a little stick.
Fix me a swab, Sammy.
She's done it!
She's sent the hex on us!
It's me done it, Granny Lady,
'cause I ain't never been no good.
The sorriest critter on the creek,
with things always
windin' out black for me...
and nothin' to give ya but poke
sallet and no-good hog mollies.
You've given me more than that!
You always call me "lady. "
And I can sit here and rest myself
in a milk-white castle.
It's her in Moanin' Meadow
touchin' nothing
but layin' her hand on all.
It's them darn Mathews on the knob.
It's him, the spittin' snake that never
come back to claim his own wood's colt!
It's him!
The stranger, Coot,
he brung her back to us
like a good shepherd.
Your little girl was choked up
and became unconscious.
Just keep her throat clear and keep her wrapped
up warm, and she'll be all right tonight.
By tomorrow, she'll be beggin' to wade the creek
and askin' what makes the sky blue, won't ya?
