Sort OF startled. as II he knew me.
Yes. was looking at him, but that
wasn't why ne looked II he hadn't
looked how would he have known !
was looking?" argued the Other OBJ
server Indignantly For the moment
felt as II had always known him,
which reminds me of what you said
about pre-existence. But goodness.
only Cinnamon believe in that non
sense. Oh. do they? Well, don't
know much about Boston; ! dare say
they do. There may of course be
something in this former life business,

What did you find out about himy'
broke in the Observer.
''Oh, he went by. and after a few
moments strolled back very slowly,
