When
she
was
ready
,
he
carried
her
suitcase
to
a
taxicab
,
then
down
the
platform
of
the
Taggart
Terminal
to
her
office
car
,
the
last
at
the
end
of
the
Comet
.
He
stood
on
the
platform
,
saw
the
train
jerk
forward
and
watched
the
red
markers
on
the
back
of
her
car
slipping
slowly
away
from
him
into
the
long
darkness
of
the
exit
tunnel
.
When
they
were
gone
,
he
felt
what
one
feels
at
the
loss
of
a
dream
one
had
not
known
till
after
it
was
lost
.
There
were
few
people
on
the
platform
around
him
and
they
seemed
to
move
with
self
-
conscious
strain
,
as
if
a
sense
of
disaster
clung
to
the
rails
and
to
the
girders
above
their
heads
.
He
thought
indifferently
that
after
a
century
of
safety
,
men
were
once
more
regarding
the
departure
of
a
train
as
an
event
involving
a
gamble
with
death
.

He
remembered
that
he
had
had
no
dinner
,
and
he
felt
no
desire
to
eat
,
but
the
underground
cafeteria
of
the
Taggart
Terminal
was
more
truly
his
home
than
the
empty
cube
of
space
he
now
thought
of
as
his
apartment
so
he
walked
to
the
cafeteria
,
because
he
had
no
other
place
to
go
.
The
cafeteria
was
almost
deserted
but
the
first
thing
he
saw
,
as
he
entered
,
was
a
thin
column
of
smoke
rising
from
the
cigarette
of
the
worker
,
who
sat
alone
at
a
table
in
a
dark
corner
.
Not
noticing
what
he
put
on
his
tray
,
Eddie
carried
it
to
the
worker
s
table
,
said
,
"
Hello
,
"
sat
down
and
said
nothing
else
.
He
looked
at
the
silverware
spread
before
him
,
wondered
about
its
purpose
,
remembered
the
use
of
a
fork
and
attempted
to
perform
the
motions
of
eating
,
but
found
that
it
was
beyond
his
power
.
After
a
while
,
he
looked
up
and
saw
that
the
worker
s
eyes
were
studying
him
attentively
.
"
No
,
"
said
Eddie
,
"
no
,
there
s
nothing
the
matter
with
me
.
.

Oh
yes
,
a
lot
has
happened
,
but
what
difference
does
it
make
now
?
.
.
.
Yes
,
she
s
back
.
.
.
What
else
do
you
want
me
to
say
about
it
?
.
.
.
How
did
you
know
she
s
back
?
Oh
well
,
I
suppose
the
whole
company
knew
it
within
the
first
ten
minutes
.
.
.
No
,
I
don
t
know
whether
I
m
glad
that
she
s
back
.
.
.
Sure
,
she
ll
save
the
railroad
for
another
year
or
month
.
.
.
What
do
you
want
me
to
say
?
.
.
.
No
,
she
didn
t
.
She
didn
t
tell
me
what
she
s
counting
on
.
She
didn
t
tell
me
what
she
thought
or
felt
.
.
.
Well
,
how
do
you
suppose
she
d
feel
?
It
s
hell
for
her
all
right
,
for
me
,
too
!
Only
my
kind
of
hell
is
my
own
fault
.
.
.
No
.
Nothing
.
I
can
t
talk
about
it
talk
?
I
mustn
t
even
think
about
it
,
I
ve
got
to
stop
it
,
stop
thinking
of
her
and
of
her
,
I
mean
.
