Dr. John Brown, physician to the Garzas, adjusts his coat after tending to Rosaura's difficult delivery. Elena, her face lined with worry, asks him to stay on at the ranch. As he prepares to depart, John walks you to the gate. It is his first time here; Elena had only mentioned a distant relative. In the fading twilight, the doctor regards you with a gentle, lingering kindness before he turns to go.
