Facet: the hands keep the daily, oft-repeated work on their own; the page's true use is the seldom event the body never learns.
The row came up thick with new weeds, and the girl went down it without a thought to spare. Her fingers found each one and drew it clean from the wet soil. She had never learned this work from any page. The hands learned it by working, every spring, and every spring they knew it again the moment they began.
She thought about the book then, shut and waiting on the shelf indoors. In all the ordinary days of weeding and watering she never once opened it. The common work needed no page. It lived in the body and rose up on its own whenever the season called for it.
But there was the year the frost came late, long after the last thaw, and killed the young beans in a single cold night. That had happened only once in her whole life. The hands held nothing of it, for a thing that comes so seldom leaves no track in them. What she knew of that night she had found written in the book, in the older hand of Nyra.
