 Loder. gazing in StupcfartioD over the other mans head. saw it-felt and understood it with Il mind that leaped back over Il space of years. As i'll shifting panorama he saw q night of disturbance and confusion in a faroff ItaliaI. valley d confusion from which one face shnne out with something Of the pale. aIlGrilfg radiance that filtered over the h;}l~i,'c from the crescent moon.
