summary
A town is a thing like a colonial animal. There is a story from Kino and Juana. Kino had found the Pearl of the world, and then all manner of people grew interested in Kino-people with things to sell and people with favors to ask. Another problem is that the person sacs of the town began to manufacture venom, but Kino and Juana did not know these things. He started think how to use Pearl and how to find it. Now the dusk was coming. The dark was almost in, and Juana's fire threw shadows on the brush walls when the whisper came in.
He smelled the breeze and he listened for any foreign sound of secrecy or creeping, and his eyes searched the darkness, for the music of evil was sounding in his head and he was fierce and afraid.
But Kino's brain burned, even during his sleep, and he dreamed that Coyotito could read, that one of his own people could tell him the truth of things.
