andrea fainted at the first sight of her little boy face down in the shallow water and now lay by a small mound of earth ; pet was next to her on her knees , seized by a coughing fit ; luz wrung her hands and moaned continuously ; stein , taking refuge in practicality , had gone inside to call the hospital and the police , while harvey tried in vain to blow life back into the child , pushing down hard on his chest , rolling him over , lifting his head , brushing the hair off his face and gently slapping his cheeks .
