o do a human interest story on the famous author who saves children from rattlesnakes。 None of our politicians were very eager for headlines like 'Town Ostracizes Hero。' But the point is that you'll be able to keep Haven Farm。〃
    The older man receded。 After a moment; Covenant heard him say to the other doctor; 〃You still haven't told me why you're in such high dudgeon。〃
    〃It's nothing;'' the younger man replied as they left the room。 〃One of our Florence Nightingales suggested that we should kill him off。〃
    〃Who was it? I'll get the nursing superintendent to transfer her。 We'll get decent care for him from somewhere。〃
    Their voices drifted away; left Covenant alone in his bed。
    He was thinking dimly; A miracle。 That's what it was。
    He was a sick man; a victim of Hansen's disease。 But he was not a leper…not just a leper。 He had the law of his illness carved in large; undeniable letters on the nerves of his body; but he was more than that。 In the end; he had not failed the Land。 And he had a heart which could still pump blood; bones which could still bear his weight; he had himself。
    Thomas Covenant: Unbeliever。
    A miracle。
    Despite the stiff pain in his lip; he smiled at the empty room。 He felt the smile on his face; and was sure of it。
    He smiled because he was alive。
