Poor Blinker. 😭 I’m so glad the Auclairs are kind to him. I didn’t notice him much on my first read. He is exactly the kind of man I think we’ll find very near to God, à la the Beatitudes.

“All the western sky, which had been hard and clear when the sun sank, was now throbbing with fiery vapours, like rapids of clouds; and between, the sky shone with a blue to ravish the heart,—that limpid, celestial, holy blue that is only seen when the light is golden” (83).

“But though he was a creature of habit and derived actual pleasure from doing things exactly as he had always done them, his mind was free” (26).

I feel seen, Willa Cather. 😂
