And the really sad thing is that wonderful, independent Prairie seems to've 
inherited this trait as well: When Brock comes to get her in his helicopter 
on p. 376 she's quick enough to sling back a proper insult, but as she 
thinks back to her near-abduction on p. 384, we get this:

"He had left too suddenly. There should have been more. She lay in her 
sleeping bag, trembling, face up, with the alder and the Sitka spruce still 
dancing in the wind, and the stars thickening overhead. "You can come back," 
she whispered, waves of cold sweeping over her, trying to gaze steadily into 
a night that now at any turn could prove unfaceable. "It's OK, rilly. Come 
on, come in. I don't care.Take me anyplace you want." But suspecting already 
that he was no longer available, that the midnight summoning would go safely 
unanswered, even if she couldn't let go.

- a truly chilly scene, and almost the conclusion to the novel, before 
Desmond shows up, face full of blue-jay feathers, thinking he must be home.
