and sketches.
The sense Of some one being near
him rather than the perception of an
actual presence reused him finally
from his brown study.
A girl was standing a few feet away
from him, regarding him steadily, her
hands clasped before her.

An attendant making his leisurely

on which Kelsey and the girl were
sitting, and speculatively measured
the distance between them and the
