When Death Isn't the End
It’s everywhere.
The falling, the leaving. The drying up and withering away.
The prairies turning brown and the cold nights and the changing of the sun making leaves shiver and yellow and soon, yes, the dying.
There’s spider webs strung with pearls in the grass.
There’s foggy mornings now, they say it means an early winter.
And there’s bemoaning the losing of things. The loss. The dying. The change.

“Eden, I had planned to use that information to hold you grandfather overfire. I intended to force him to return what Townsend stole through manipulating my mother. I wouldn't want you to think otherwise. I went to a lot of trouble to get that story over a two year period of my life."
She knew it had cost him. It was still costing him because he had allowed his work to slip through his fingers.
And you surrendered it," she said. "Why? You could have won. Grandfather would have given you what you watned to keep you from publishing the story. He would have made Townsend cooperate."
Rafe looked off in the distance...
If I had, Eden, I would have lost more than Hanalei. I weighed everything in a balance and decided there was something I wanted even more.”

“I don't believe you know anything about a man like me or a country like this. It takes rough men, Miss Fair, to tame a rough country; rough men, but good men. Your father is in that class. As for you, I don't think you'd measure up, and you'll do well to leave it. You're a hothouse flower, very soft, very appealing and very useless...In the world you are going to, men want pretty useless women. They want toys for their lighte moments, and we have those women out here, too, only we have another name for them. We want women who can make a home, and if need be, handle a rifle.”
