Art Explained by a Writer: The Captive (1880)

You feel that too?
The rumble?
Air and earth make the same sound.
It's getting a bit chilly
Thanks for rescuing me.
I could sit here forever.
I've never been a city girl.

He lay beside her
Surprised
Her mouth moved
Strange sounds that hurt his ears
But warmed his heart
Wouldn’t that pale skin hurt?
The weather would change soon — rain.
