To
the
Kensington
Gardens
we
went
;
it
may
have
been
Manitoba
we
started
for
,
but
we
arrived
at
the
Kensington
Gardens
,
and
it
had
all
been
so
unpremeditated
and
smartly
carried
out
that
I
remember
clapping
my
hand
to
my
head
in
the
street
,
to
make
sure
that
I
was
wearing
a
hat
.
I
watched
David
to
see
what
he
thought
of
it
,
and
he
had
not
yet
made
up
his
mind
.
Strange
to
say
,
I
no
longer
felt
shy
.
I
was
grown
suddenly
indifferent
to
public
comment
,
and
my
elation
increased
when
I
discovered
that
I
was
being
pursued
.
They
drew
a
cordon
round
me
near
Margot
Meredith
's
tree
,
but
I
broke
through
it
by
a
strategic
movement
to
the
south
,
and
was
next
heard
of
in
the
Baby
's
Walk
.
They
held
both
ends
of
this
passage
,
and
then
thought
to
close
on
me
,
but
I
slipped
through
their
fingers
by
doubling
up
Bunting
's
Thumb
into
Picnic
Street
.
Cowering
at
St.
Govor
's
Well
,
we
saw
them
rush
distractedly
up
the
Hump
,
and
when
they
had
crossed
to
the
Round
Pond
we
paraded
gaily
in
the
Broad
Walk
,
not
feeling
the
tiniest
bit
sorry
for
anybody
.
Here
,
however
,
it
gradually
came
into
David
's
eyes
that
,
after
all
,
I
was
a
strange
man
,
and
they
opened
wider
and
wider
,
until
they
were
the
size
of
my
medals
,
and
then
,
with
the
deliberation
that
distinguishes
his
smile
,
he
slowly
prepared
to
howl
.
I
saw
all
his
forces
gathering
in
his
face
,
and
I
had
nothing
to
oppose
to
them
;
it
was
an
unarmed
man
against
a
regiment
.
Even
then
I
did
not
chide
him
.
He
could
not
know
that
it
was
I
who
had
dropped
the
letter
.
I
think
I
must
have
stepped
over
a
grateful
fairy
at
that
moment
,
for
who
else
could
have
reminded
me
so
opportunely
of
my
famous
manipulation
of
the
eyebrows
,
forgotten
since
I
was
in
the
fifth
form
?
I
alone
of
boys
had
been
able
to
elevate
and
lower
my
eyebrows
separately
;
when
the
one
was
climbing
my
forehead
the
other
descended
it
,
like
the
two
buckets
in
the
well
.
Most
diffidently
did
I
call
this
accomplishment
to
my
aid
now
,
and
immediately
David
checked
his
forces
and
considered
my
unexpected
movement
without
prejudice
.
His
face
remained
as
it
was
,
his
mouth
open
to
emit
the
howl
if
I
did
not
surpass
expectation
.
I
saw
that
,
like
the
fair-minded
boy
he
has
always
been
,
he
was
giving
me
my
chance
,
and
I
worked
feverishly
,
my
chief
fear
being
that
,
owing
to
his
youth
,
he
might
not
know
how
marvellous
was
this
thing
I
was
doing
.
It
is
an
appeal
to
the
intellect
,
as
well
as
to
the
senses
,
and
no
one
on
earth
can
do
it
except
myself
.
When
I
paused
for
a
moment
exhausted
he
signed
gravely
,
with
unchanged
face
,
that
though
it
was
undeniably
funny
,
he
had
not
yet
decided
whether
it
was
funny
enough
,
and
,
taking
this
for
encouragement
,
at
it
I
went
once
more
,
till
I
saw
his
forces
wavering
,
when
I
sent
my
left
eyebrow
up
almost
farther
than
I
could
bring
it
back
,
and
with
that
I
had
him
,
the
smile
broke
through
the
clouds
.
In
the
midst
of
my
hard-won
triumph
I
heard
cheering
.
I
had
been
vaguely
conscious
that
we
were
not
quite
alone
,
but
had
not
dared
to
look
away
from
David
;
I
looked
now
,
and
found
to
my
annoyance
that
I
was
the
centre
of
a
deeply
interested
gathering
of
children
.
There
was
,
in
particular
,
one
vulgar
little
street-boy
