“The tide comes and goes. Time never returns. I’ll worry about time when I’m in the marble orchard.”

For sight regained means Paradise Lost: an end to the antic freedom accorded Lovey by the town, and eviction from the cemetery's marble orchard which, blind, she has been allowed to make her private playground.

Her big moment ruined, Lovey runs tearfully back to her marble orchard and Jim.

Now, we are not people who whistle determinedly when passing a marble orchard at midnight nor do we see white luminous shapes flitting among the tombstones.
