"Better than before, from what she tells me," and I guess I'm sorta glad ta find that Wanda's talking to her about it. Seems a lady who's both sensible and kind, and it's a good combination. She adds gravely, "Marriage is a holy thing, but only if both parties have the same intentions."
Nod to that, and find I'm sticking my hands in my pockets, which just seems a bit clumsy; pull one out and wave a little at Rose, instead. "Were you ever married, Miss-- Noma? If you don't mind my asking, I mean."
"The divine works through us, and when a community acts together - yes," and I'm smiling, can't help it.
"Best we can be, I guess," I say thoughtfully. "Waterkey--man I knew once, ma'am--used ta say the destiny of man was to become more than man. Not... quite sure 'bout that--mean, I think people can be pretty damn good, an' the idea of becomin' more'n that seems ta sell them a bit short--but it's a good sentiment." And she says somethin' about bein' optimistic an' I look out across the yard and grin. "It surely is."
