 But would he see Natalie? She hadn't mentioned a meeting. Per haps It would all be done through lawyers.
 He was surprised at the let down Ill his spirits that this idea brought him. Ridiculous. Of course, he would see her!
 But was t possible that her mother was right, and she wanted q reconciliation?
 Something like the wordless joy n spring day came to him as hs asked himself this question; something like the push Of blade . O. grass up through snow-moistenal soil. something like the murmur, l TOT natures ears alone. Of lilac buds bursting into bloom. 1 With Alan II manifested itself in desire 10 get up and do some 1 thing. Had h. lndulged his de- ] sire. h. might have danced a. buck and wing. thrown his hat into the air. or gone out to face two i dragons.
