He
turned
round
to
the
fire
,
gave
a
kick
to
a
log
,
watched
it
an
instant
.
Then
as
he
faced
us
again
:
"
I
ca
n't
begin
.
I
shall
have
to
send
to
town
.
"
There
was
a
unanimous
groan
at
this
,
and
much
reproach
;
after
which
,
in
his
preoccupied
way
,
he
explained
.
"
The
story
's
written
.
It
's
in
a
locked
drawer
--
it
has
not
been
out
for
years
.
12
I
could
write
to
my
man
and
enclose
the
key
;
he
could
send
down
the
packet
as
he
finds
it
.
"
It
was
to
me
in
particular
that
he
appeared
to
propound
this
--
appeared
almost
to
appeal
for
aid
not
to
hesitate
.
He
had
broken
a
thickness
of
ice
,
the
formation
of
many
a
winter
;
had
had
his
reasons
for
a
long
silence
.
The
others
resented
postponement
,
but
it
was
just
his
scruples
that
charmed
me
.
I
adjured
him
to
write
by
the
first
post
and
to
agree
with
us
for
an
early
hearing
;
then
I
asked
him
if
the
experience
in
question
had
been
his
own
.
To
this
his
answer
was
prompt
.
"
Oh
,
thank
God
,
no
!
"
13
"
And
is
the
record
yours
?
You
took
the
thing
down
?

"
Nothing
but
the
impression
.
I
took
that
here
"
--
he
tapped
his
heart
.
"
I
've
never
lost
it
.
"
15
"
Then
your
manuscript
--
?
"
16
"
Is
in
old
,
faded
ink
,
and
in
the
most
beautiful
hand
.
"
He
hung
fire
again
.
"
A
woman
's
.
She
has
been
dead
these
twenty
years
.
She
sent
me
the
pages
in
question
before
she
died
.
"
They
were
all
listening
now
,
and
of
course
there
was
somebody
to
be
arch
,
or
at
any
rate
to
draw
the
inference
.
But
if
he
put
the
inference
by
without
a
smile
it
was
also
without
irritation
.
"
She
was
a
most
charming
person
,
but
she
was
ten
years
older
than
I
.
She
was
my
sister
's
governess
,
"
he
quietly
said
.
"
She
was
the
most
agreeable
woman
I
've
ever
known
in
her
position
;
she
would
have
been
worthy
of
any
whatever
.
It
was
long
ago
,
and
this
episode
was
long
before
.
I
was
at
Trinity
,
and
I
found
her
at
home
on
my
coming
down
the
second
summer
.
17
I
was
much
there
that
year
--
it
was
a
beautiful
one
;
and
we
had
,
in
her
off-hours
,
some
strolls
and
talks
in
the
garden
--
talks
in
which
she
struck
me
as
awfully
clever
and
nice
.
Oh
yes
;
do
n't
grin
:
I
liked
her
extremely
and
am
glad
to
this
day
to
think
she
liked
me
,
too
.
If
she
had
n't
she
would
n't
have
told
me
.
She
had
never
told
anyone
.
It
was
n't
simply
that
she
said
so
,
but
that
I
knew
she
had
n't
.
I
was
sure
;
I
could
see
.
You
'll
easily
judge
why
when
you
hear
.

"
Because
the
thing
had
been
such
a
scare
?
"
19
He
continued
to
fix
me
.
"
You
'll
easily
judge
,
"
he
repeated
:
"
you
will
.
"
20
I
fixed
him
,
too
.
"
I
see
.
She
was
in
love
.
