Street.
When he woke light was just rifting the clear
darkness.
Daylight wasgone, and the moon was silvering the
leaves and branches. I dont want to flatter you,but you seem to me less ordinary
than Wilfrid.
He waited a moment,watching Wilfrid stagger into
the hotel on the arm of the boots,then sped away.

comprehension, that hemight run off and leave you? He had thrown thewindow open and
was leaning there holding his hands to his head.

he looked for the tailbetween his legs. You were a brick to me when I was up against
it. Sir Lawrence played a tune with his fingers on the window-pane. Ever since
Saturday Ive been tortured by the doubt whether towrite, or wait for you to write to
me.
He moved northwards now, and towardseleven was
nearing Chingford.
He pulledWilfrids coat off, then his waistcoat and
trousers. You lie there; I wont be gone ten minutes. Again Jean paused, and her eyes
searched Dinnys face.
