He
left
his
friends
at
a
quarter
to
ten
and
went
up
George
's
Street
.
He
turned
to
the
left
at
the
City
Markets
and
walked
on
into
Grafton
Street
.
The
crowd
of
girls
and
young
men
had
thinned
and
on
his
way
up
the
street
he
heard
many
groups
and
couples
bidding
one
another
good-night
.
He
went
as
far
as
the
clock
of
the
College
of
Surgeons
:
it
was
on
the
stroke
of
ten
.
He
set
off
briskly
along
the
northern
side
of
the
Green
hurrying
for
fear
Corley
should
return
too
soon
.
When
he
reached
the
corner
of
Merrion
Street
he
took
his
stand
in
the
shadow
of
a
lamp
and
brought
out
one
of
the
cigarettes
which
he
had
reserved
and
lit
it
.
He
leaned
against
the
lamp-post
and
kept
his
gaze
fixed
on
the
part
from
which
he
expected
to
see
Corley
and
the
young
woman
return
.
332
His
mind
became
active
again
.
He
wondered
had
Corley
managed
it
successfully
.
He
wondered
if
he
had
asked
her
yet
or
if
he
would
leave
it
to
the
last
.
He
suffered
all
the
pangs
and
thrills
of
his
friend
's
situation
as
well
as
those
of
his
own
.
333
But
the
memory
of
Corley
's
slowly
revolving
head
calmed
him
somewhat
:
he
was
sure
Corley
would
pull
it
off
all
right
.
All
at
once
the
idea
struck
him
that
perhaps
Corley
had
seen
her
home
by
another
way
and
given
him
the
slip
.
His
eyes
searched
the
street
:
there
was
no
sign
of
them
.
Yet
it
was
surely
half-an-hour
since
he
had
seen
the
clock
of
the
College
of
Surgeons
.
Would
Corley
do
a
thing
like
that
?
He
lit
his
last
cigarette
and
began
to
smoke
it
nervously
.
He
strained
his
eyes
as
each
tram
stopped
at
the
far
corner
of
the
square
.
They
must
have
gone
home
by
another
way
.
The
paper
of
his
cigarette
broke
and
he
flung
it
into
the
road
with
a
curse
.

Suddenly
he
saw
them
coming
towards
him
.
He
started
with
delight
and
keeping
close
to
his
lamp-post
tried
to
read
the
result
in
their
walk
.
They
were
walking
quickly
,
the
young
woman
taking
quick
short
steps
,
while
Corley
kept
beside
her
with
his
long
stride
.
They
did
not
seem
to
be
speaking
.
An
intimation
of
the
result
pricked
him
like
the
point
of
a
sharp
instrument
.
He
knew
Corley
would
fail
;
he
knew
it
was
no
go
.
335
They
turned
down
Baggot
Street
and
he
followed
them
at
once
,
taking
the
other
footpath
.
When
they
stopped
he
stopped
too
.
They
talked
for
a
few
moments
and
then
the
young
woman
went
down
the
steps
into
the
area
of
a
house
.
Corley
remained
standing
at
the
edge
of
the
path
,
a
little
distance
from
the
front
steps
.
Some
minutes
passed
.
Then
the
hall-door
was
opened
slowly
and
cautiously
.
A
woman
came
running
down
the
front
steps
and
coughed
.
Corley
turned
and
went
towards
her
336
His
broad
figure
hid
hers
from
view
for
a
few
seconds
and
then
she
reappeared
running
up
the
steps
.
The
door
closed
on
her
and
Corley
began
to
walk
swiftly
towards
Stephen
's
Green
.
337
Lenehan
hurried
on
in
the
same
direction
.
Some
drops
of
light
rain
fell
.
He
took
them
as
a
warning
and
,
glancing
back
towards
the
house
which
the
young
woman
had
entered
to
see
that
he
was
not
observed
,
he
ran
eagerly
across
the
road
.
Anxiety
and
his
swift
run
made
him
pant
.
He
called
out
:

338
"
Hallo
,
Corley
!
"
339
Corley
turned
his
head
to
see
who
had
called
him
,
and
then
continued
walking
as
before
.
Lenehan
ran
after
him
,
settling
the
waterproof
on
his
shoulders
with
one
hand
.
340
"
Hallo
,
Corley
!
"
he
cried
again
.
