And only the best ofeverything was good
enough.
His first move was to seek for a
calendar.
Then, the vertigo ceased, and a merciful weakness
came to her aid. To which, elliptically, shemade answer: Better now than in spring,
when things are freshening up.
Theresnothing like a steady climb, is
there?
Between the singer and the man ofthe whip.

herfriend. Did the mysterioushold she had had over him still persist?
Im in such trouble, Mother, such terrible
trouble!

Her business done, she entered a crowded

Shewas cutting bread, and the great knife slipped
and gashed her hand.
Overhead, a lowering grey sky; which was yet no
greyerthan the flat stretch of earth beneath.
Except for a gentle click or two of the tongue, she
was listened to insilence.
The ruinous price attributed to Harry beganto give
her qualms.
