Some nights he did not
play; those were restless,
disappointed nights for her.
Once or twice she met
him on the stairs, as she
was going TO her carriage;
he glanced at her with an
unfmpressed eye, h n
looked elsewhere, standing
just against the wall. hat in
hand.
Occasionally she saw him
on the street, but he seemed
never to see her. A vague
heartache grew out OF those
occasions.

the air had a fragrance,

pure moonlight made the
statues in the Kings Gar
den. where Paula walked
sometimes, look dazzling
white against the sombre
walls of clipped laurel. The
open country now was full
of poisoning fruit trees;
Paula often begged Veron-
liza to alight from the car

flowers she saw shining in
the grass-primroses and vio-
lets, tulips, narcissi, fleurs-
de-lis. She brought home
immense nosegays, which
she spent long minutes
breathing; this perfume OF
Italy went to her brain.
At sunset once a red
flower lay, by chance, on a
rail of the balcony, just
where q movement OF her
arm would brush it off; il
would drop in the street.
A bold thought crossed her
mind. But h a evening
Prospero did not come st

the dusk closed around her
