Peter Hoellig	hysteria

	She was close to hysteria; that is, her voice was slurred, her

	uncontrollably.

Nan Meng	pateroller

	On a riverbank in the cool of a summer evening two women
	struggle under a shower of silvery blue. They never expected
	to see each other again in this world and at that moment
	couldn't care less. But there on a summer night surrounded by
	bluefern the[y] did something together appropriately and well.
	A pateroller passing would have sniggered to see two throwaway
	people, two lawless outlaws--a slave and a barefoot whitewoman
	with unpinned hair--wrapping a ten-minute-old baby in the rags
	they wore. But no pateroller came and no preacher. The water
	sucked and swallowed itself beneath them. There was nothing to
	disturb them at their work.  So they did it appropriately well.
