Well, I should say it takes about four or five
years for your bloodproperly to thin down. So you dont cotton on to Kangaroo either?
And do you think it takes one long to get used to this country? Pondering and
turning recklessly he heard Jack come back. I hope youwill accept it, after all my
annoying behaviour. And then ifyoure fool enough to wish you hadnt done it, why,
that shows youSHOULDNT have.
Im going to bed, and leave you all to yourstriking
and your bad tempers.
Do you yourself see Kangaroo pulling itoff? To
besure, it was a rather two-edged motto just now for Germany.
For you are either a terrible disappointmentto me,
or a great blessing in store.
Some men must live by this unremitting inwardness,
no matter what therest of the world does. Oh, you unlearn a lot as your blood thins
down.
You dont have to be so particular, in this life,
said Jack.
Because theyre frightened of it when theyve made
it. But Jack replied that he couldnt get away this week-end,there was so much doing.
Andthats why they wont make their grand revolution.
Pommy is supposed to be short for pomegranate. Im
striking off no morematches, thank you. A huge, brilliant, supernatural rainbow,
spanning allSydney. He thinks the world ofyou, I can see that.
This was the first wintry daythey had really
had.
You think Kangaroo would get them over the
fence?
Again hefelt his limbs full of desire, like a
power. Youre thin enough as a bottle, but the wine needs a lot
ofmaturing.
And then ifyoure fool enough to wish you hadnt done
it, why, that shows youSHOULDNT have. Id rather beshot here next week, than quibble
the rest of my life away inover-upholstered Europe.

I only trip, and recover my balance for the moment.
You have to take things as they are, he said in a small voice.
And I feel, you know, thatyou and me think alike,
if we allow ourselves to think. He smiled faintly, rising to his feet, and desire in
all hislimbs like a power. Sleep was almost pain, and too full of dreams. I dont
know whyI say these things to you, Im sure. In the morning they were returning to
the South Coast. Straight from the sea, likeanother creature. Oh nobody need trouble
themselves about William James, replied thatindividual.
Overpowered, thats what it is, overpowered.
