there was an appalling lack OF continu.

of those circumferential railways: she
travelled, but did not get anywhere.
Ryanne had told her too much for his
own sake, but too little for hers. She
sat back in the carriage. inert and
listless, and indeterminedly likened
her condition to driftwood in the ebb
and flow of beach-waves. The color
and commotion Of the streets were
no longer absorbed: II was as II she
were riding through emptiness.

they had splendid crops this year. and
