Status Updates From The Pearl

Ahhh only 6 more pages I can’t finish I’m so nervous.

Such a way with words and in such a short time.

"Oh, the music of evil sang loud in Kino's head now, it sang with the whine of heat and with the dry ringing of snake rattles. It was not large and overwhelming bow, but secret and poisonous, and the pounding of his heart gave it undertone and rhythm."

"They were not near the Gulf now, and the air was dry and hot so that the brush cricked with heat and a good resinous smell came from it. And when Juana awakened, when the sun was high, Kino told her things she knew already."
This made me laugh. Good to know mansplaining is as ancient of an art as any.

"Juana sensed his excitement, and she pretended to look away. It is not good to want a thing too much. It sometimes drives the luck away. You must want it just enough, and you must be very tactful with God or the gods. But Juana stopped breathing."

"Kino watched with the detachment of God while a dusty ant frantically tried to escape the sand trap an ant lion had dug for him."
