诺贝尔文学经典:《宠儿》第4章Part 6  

"Looks like the devil
" said Amy. "But you made it down here
Jesus
Lu made it through. That's because of me. I'm good at sick things. Canyou walk
you think?"
"I have to let my water some kind of way."
"Let's see you walk on em."
It was not good
but it was possible
so Sethe limped
holding on first to Amy
then to a sapling.
"Was me did it. I'm good at sick things ain't I?"
"Yeah
" said Sethe
"you good."
"We got to get off this here hill. Come on. I'll take you down to the river. That ought to suit
I'm going to the Pike. Take me straight to Boston. What's that all over your dress?"
"Milk."
"You one mess."
Sethe looked down at her stomach and touched it. The baby was dead. She had not died in thenight
but the baby had. If that was the case
then there was no stopping now. She would get thatmilk to her baby girl if she had to swim.
"Ain't you hungry?" Amy asked her.
"I ain't nothing but in a hurry
miss."
"Whoa. Slow down. Want some shoes?"
"Say what?"
"I figured how
" said Amy and so she had. She tore o pieces from Sethe's shawl
filled them withleaves and tied them over her feet
chattering all the while.
"How old are you
Lu? I been bleeding for four years but I ain't having nobody's baby. Won't catch me sweating milk cause..."
"I know
" said Sethe. "You going to Boston."
At noon they saw it; then they were near enough to hear it. By late afternoon they could drink fromit if they wanted to. Four stars were visible by the time they found
not a riverboat to stow Setheaway on
or a ferryman willing to take on a fugitive passenger — nothing like that — but a wholeboat to steal. It had one oar
lots of holes and o bird nests.
"There you go
Lu. Jesus looking at you."
