ALT First para of ‘Little World’: "The saint is nameless when she comes to Orrin Bird. By horse float, of all means. Though he cannot say what other mode of transport might have been more appropriate, given circumstances. She could hardly have come by rail, accompanied or otherwise. He supposes she might have come by hearse. Though hearses were scarce enough out here, and to receive a casket, a box of any kind from such a vehicle would have brought attention, prying in the guise of condolences. In fact condolences are not unwarranted—his old friend, Kaspar Isaksen, is gone, has finally drunk himself to death, and left Orrin custodian to a saint.”
