You
know
that
?
"
"
You
have
me
just
as
much
in
your
power
.
If
you
tell
Maurice
what
I
’
ve
told
you
…
will
you
seriously
,
very
seriously
,
promise
not
to
?
"
"
I
promise
,
very
seriously
.
"
"
Nothing
?
"
"
Don
’
t
worry
.
Nothing
.
"
"
You
will
understand
tonight
.
"
Then
the
wretched
bell
rang
,
trisyllabically
,
for
me
again
.
I
looked
at
my
watch
.
It
was
teatime
.
"
You
must
go
now
as
well
.
"
"
To
hell
with
the
bell
.
Unless
you
come
to
tea
too
.
"
"
No
.
I
must
go
.
I
know
he
’
s
watching
us
.
"
"
He
said
he
would
?
"
She
gave
the
slightest
of
nods
,
then
looked
urgently
at
me
.
"
Please
,
please
,
if
you
like
me
at
all
,
go
away
now
.
"
"
Where
will
you
go
?
"
"
I
shall
stay
here
till
you
’
ve
gone
.
"
"
But
I
’
ll
see
you
tonight
.
"
"
I
don
’
t
know
.
I
don
’
t
know
.
It
’
s
not
for
me
to
—
"
The
bell
rang
peremptorily
again
.
"
I
must
see
you
before
next
weekend
.
"
"
I
can
’
t
promise
anything
.
"
"
I
could
meet
you
here
.
Not
come
to
the
house
.
"
"
No
,
no
.
You
mustn
’
t
.
Please
.
You
must
go
.
"
She
looked
faintly
distraught
under
the
false
smiles
,
and
pushed
me
to
make
me
go
.
"
I
’
ll
come
on
Tuesday
,
no
,
damn
,
oh
God
and
Wednesday
I
’
ve
got
duties
—
tomorrow
?
"
"
No
.
"
"
Thursday
.
"
"
No
.
Please
.
"
"
Kiss
me
goodbye
.
"
She
hesitated
,
then
leaning
forward
rather
as
she
had
that
morning
,
she
brushed
my
cheek
with
her
lips
;
and
whispered
.
"
The
weekend
after
,
I
promise
.
"
She
freed
her
hand
almost
with
violence
;
but
her
look
countermanded
it
.
I
went
.
At
the
gulley
I
waved
,
and
she
waved
back
.
I
said
"
Yes
?
"
and
she
gave
a
minute
nod
;
on
the
other
side
,
I
waved
again
.
Then
I
saw
Conchis
.
He
was
some
sixty
yards
away
through
the
trees
His
back
to
us
,
he
appeared
to
be
watching
some
bird
high
in
the
trees
beyond
him
through
binoculars
.
Alter
a
moment
he
lowered
them
,
turned
,
and
made
as
if
he
had
just
seen
me
.
I
glanced
back
.
Lily
was
walking
slowly
to
the
east
.
She
looked
dejected
.
As
I
walked
over
the
carpet
of
pine
needles
to
meet
him
,
I
decided
to
be
slightly
annoyed
;
and
then
,
when
I
was
close
to
him
,
something
about
his
quizzical
look
made
me
change
tactics
.
It
obviously
did
not
pay
at
Bourani
to
look
or
speak
as
one
felt
.
I
believed
,
in
terms
of
believing
a
person
’
s
eyes
and
voice
and
gestures
,
that
Lily
had
not
been
lying
to
me
—
at
least
in
regard
to
some
strain
,
some
tension
in
her
relationship
with
Conchis
;
but
I
knew
very
well
that
she
could
have
been
lying
to
me
.
"
Hello
.
"
"
Good
afternoon
,
Nicholas
.
I
must
apologize
for
that
sudden
absence
.
There
has
been
a
small
scare
on
Wall
Street
.
"
Wall
Street
seemed
to
be
on
the
other
side
of
the
universe
;
not
just
of
the
world
.
I
tried
to
look
concerned
.
"
Oh
.
"
"
I
had
to
go
to
Nauplia
to
telephone
Geneva
.
"
"
I
hope
you
’
re
not
bankrupt
.
"
"
Only
a
fool
is
ever
bankrupt
.
And
he
is
bankrupt
forever
.
You
have
been
with
Lily
?
"
"
Yes
.
"
We
began
to
walk
back
towards
the
house
.
I
sized
him
up
,
and
said
,
"
And
I
’
ve
met
her
twin
sister
.
"
He
touched
the
powerful
glasses
around
his
neck
.
"
I
thought
I
heard
a
subalpine
warbler
.
It
is
very
late
for
them
to
be
still
on
migration
.
"
It
was
not
exactly
a
snub
,
but
a
sort
of
conjuring
trick
:
how
to
make
the
subject
disappear
.
"
Or
rather
,
seen
her
twin
sister
.
"
He
walked
several
steps
on
;
I
had
an
idea
that
he
was
thinking
fast
.
"
Lily
had
no
sister
.
Therefore
has
no
sister
here
.
"
"
I
only
meant
to
say
that
I
’
ve
been
very
well
entertained
in
your
absence
.
"
He
did
not
smile
,
but
inclined
his
head
.
We
said
nothing
more
.
I
had
the
distinct
feeling
that
he
was
a
chess
master
caught
between
two
moves
;
immensely
rapid
calculation
of
combinations
.
Once
he
even
turned
to
say
something
,
but
changed
his
mind
.
We
reached
the
gravel
.
"
Did
you
like
my
Poseidon
?
"
"
Wonderful
.
I
was
going
to
—
"
He
put
his
hand
on
my
arm
and
stopped
me
,
and
looked
down
,
almost
as
if
he
was
at
a
loss
for
words
.
"
She
may
be
amused
.
That
is
what
she
needs
.
But
not
upset
.
For
reasons
you
of
course
now
realize
.
I
am
sorry
for
all
this
little
mystery
we
spread
around
you
before
.
"
He
pressed
my
arm
,
and
went
on
.
"
You
mean
the
…
amnesia
?
"
He
stopped
again
;
we
had
just
come
to
the
steps
.
"
Nothing
else
about
her
struck
you
?
"
"
Lots
of
things
.
"
"
Nothing
pathological
?
"
"
No
.
"
He
raised
his
eyebrows
a
fraction
as
if
I
surprised
him
,
but
went
up
the
steps
;
put
his
glasses
on
the
old
cane
couch
,
and
turned
back
to
the
tea
table
.
I
stood
by
my
chair
,
and
gave
him
his
own
interrogative
shake
of
the
head
.
"
This
obsessive
need
to
assume
disguises
.
To
give
herself
false
motivations
.
That
did
not
strike
you
?
"
I
bit
my
lips
,
but
his
face
,
as
he
whisked
the
muslin
covers
away
,
was
as
straight
as
a
poker
.
"
I
thought
that
was
rather
required
of
her
.
"
"
Required
?
"
He
seemed
momentarily
puzzled
,
then
clear
.
"
You
mean
that
schizophrenia
produces
these
symptoms
?
"
"
Schizophrenia
?
"
"
Did
you
not
mean
that
?
"
He
gestured
to
me
to
sit
.
"
I
am
sorry
.
Perhaps
you
are
not
familiar
with
all
this
psychiatric
jargon
.
"
"
Yes
I
am
.
But
—
"
"
Split
personality
.
"
"
I
know
what
schizophrenia
is
.
But
you
said
she
did
everything
…
because
you
wanted
it
.
"
"
Of
course
.
As
one
says
such
things
to
a
child
.
To
encourage
them
to
obey
.
"
"
But
she
isn
’
t
a
child
.
"
"
I
speak
metaphorically
.
As
of
course
I
was
speaking
last
night
.
"
"
But
she
’
s
very
intelligent
.
"
He
gave
me
a
professional
look
.
"
The
correlation
between
high
intelligence
and
schizophrenia
is
well
known
.
"
I
ate
my
sandwich
,
and
then
grinned
at
him
.
"
Every
day
I
spend
here
I
feel
my
legs
get
a
little
longer
.
There
’
s
so
much
pulling
on
them
.
"
He
looked
amazed
,
even
a
shade
irritated
.
"
I
am
most
certainly
not
pulling
your
leg
at
the
moment
.
Far
from
it
.
"
"
I
think
you
are
.
But
I
don
’
t
mind
.
"
He
pushed
his
chair
away
from
the
table
and
made
a
new
gesture
;
pressing
his
hands
to
his
temples
,
as
if
he
had
been
guilty
of
some
terrible
mistake
.
It
was
right
out
of
character
;
and
I
knew
he
was
acting
.
"
I
was
so
sure
that
you
had
understood
by
now
.
"
"
I
think
I
have
.
"
He
gave
me
a
piercing
look
I
was
meant
to
believe
,
and
didn
’
t
.
"
There
are
personal
reasons
I
cannot
go
into
now
why
I
should
—
even
if
I
did
not
love
her
as
a
daughter
—
feel
the
gravest
responsibility
for
the
unfortunate
creature
you
have
been
with
today
.
"
He
poured
hot
water
into
the
silver
teapot
.
"
She
is
one
of
the
principal
,
the
principal
reason
why
I
come
to
Bourani
and
its
isolation
.
I
thought
you
had
realized
that
by
now
.
"
"
Of
course
I
had
…
in
a
way
.
"
"
This
is
the
one
place
where
the
poor
child
can
roam
a
little
and
indulge
her
fantasies
.
"
I
was
thinking
back
fast
—
what
had
she
said
…
I
owe
him
so
much
…
I
can
’
t
explain
…
I
can
’
t
lie
to
him
.
I
thought
,
the
cunning
little
bitch
;
they
’
re
throwing
me
backwards
and
forwards
like
a
ball
.
I
felt
annoyed
again
,
and
at
the
same
time
fascinated
.
I
smiled
.
"
Are
you
trying
to
tell
me
she
’
s
mad
?
"
"
Mad
is
a
meaningless
nonmedical
word
.
She
suffers
from
schizophrenia
.
"
"
So
she
believes
herself
to
be
your
long
-
dead
fiancée
?
"
"
I
gave
her
that
role
.
It
was
deliberately
induced
.
It
is
quite
harmless
and
she
enjoys
playing
it
.
It
is
in
some
of
her
other
roles
that
she
is
not
so
harmless
.
"
"
Roles
?
"
"
Wait
.
"
He
disappeared
indoors
and
came
back
a
minute
later
with
a
book
.
"
This
is
a
standard
textbook
on
psychiatry
.
"
He
searched
for
a
moment
.
"
Allow
me
to
read
a
passage
.
’
One
of
the
defining
characteristics
of
schizophrenia
is
the
formation
of
delusions
which
may
be
elaborate
and
systematic
,
or
bizarre
and
incongruous
.
"
He
looked
up
at
me
.
"
Lily
falls
into
the
first
category
.
"
He
went
on
reading
.
"
They
,
these
delusions
,
have
in
common
the
same
tendency
to
relate
always
to
the
patient
;
they
often
incorporate
elements
of
popular
prejudice
against
certain
groups
of
activities
;
and
they
take
the
general
form
of
self
-
glorification
or
feelings
of
persecution
.
One
patient
may
believe
she
is
Cleopatra
,
and
will
expect
all
around
her
to
conform
to
her
belief
,
while
another
may
believe
that
her
own
family
have
decided
to
murder
her
and
will
therefore
make
even
their
most
innocent
and
sympathetic
statements
and
actions
conform
to
her
fundamental
delusion
.
’
And
here
.
’
There
are
frequently
large
areas
of
consciousness
untouched
by
the
delusion
.
In
all
that
concerns
them
,
the
patient
may
seem
,
to
an
observer
who
knows
the
full
truth
,
bewilderingly
sensible
and
logical
.
"
He
took
a
gold
pencil
from
his
pocket
,
marked
the
passages
he
had
read
and
passed
the
open
the
book
over
the
table
to
me
.
I
glanced
at
the
book
,
then
still
smiling
,
at
him
.
"
Her
sister
?
"
"
Another
cake
?
"
"
Thank
you
.
"
I
put
the
book
down
.
"
Mr
.
Conchis
—
her
sister
?
"
He
smiled
.
"
Yes
,
of
course
,
her
sister
.
"
"
And
—
"
"
Yes
,
yes
,
and
the
others
.
Nicholas
—
here
,
Lily
is
queen
.
For
a
month
or
two
we
all
conform
to
the
needs
of
her
life
.
Of
her
happiness
.
"
And
he
had
that
,
very
rare
in
him
,
gentleness
,
solicitude
,
which
only
Lily
seemed
able
to
evoke
.
I
realized
that
I
had
stopped
smiling
;
I
was
beginning
to
lose
my
sense
of
total
sureness
that
he
was
inventing
a
new
explanation
of
the
masque
.
So
I
smiled
again
.
"
And
me
?
"
"
Do
children
in
England
still
play
that
game
…
"
he
put
his
hand
over
his
eyes
,
at
a
loss
for
the
word
…
"
cache
-
cache
?
"
"
Hide
-
and
-
seek
?
Yes
,
of
course
.
"
"
Some
hide
?
"
He
looked
at
me
to
guess
the
rest
.
"
And
I
seek
?
"
"
The
hiders
must
have
a
seeker
.
That
is
the
game
.
A
seeker
who
is
not
too
cruel
.
Not
too
observant
.
"
Once
again
I
was
made
to
feel
tactless
,
and
to
ask
myself
why
.
He
had
provoked
this
new
explanation
.
He
went
on
.
"
Lily
’
s
real
name
is
Julie
Holmes
.
You
must
in
no
circumstance
reveal
to
her
that
I
have
told
you
this
.
"
His
eyes
bored
gravely
into
me
.
"
Four
or
five
years
ago
her
case
attracted
a
great
deal
of
medical
attention
.
It
is
one
of
the
best
documented
in
recent
psychiatric
history
.
"
"
Could
I
read
about
it
?
"
"
Not
now
.
It
would
not
help
her
—
and
it
would
be
merely
to
satisfy
your
curiosity
.
Which
can
wait
.
"
He
went
on
.
"
She
was
in
danger
of
becoming
,
like
many
such
very
unusual
cases
,
a
monster
in
a
psychiatric
freak
show
.
That
is
what
I
am
now
trying
to
guard
against
.
"
"
Why
exactly
are
you
telling
me
these
things
now
?
"
"
It
is
a
decision
I
took
coming
back
from
Nauplia
.
Nicholas
,
I
made
a
foolish
miscalculation
when
I
invited
you
here
last
weekend
.
"
"
Oh
?
"
"
Yes
.
You
are
—
quite
simply
—
more
intelligent
than
I
realized
.
A
good
deal
more
so
.
And
too
much
intelligence
can
spoil
our
little
…
amusements
here
.
"
I
had
the
now
familiar
feeling
that
came
in
conversations
at
Bourani
;
of
ambiguity
;
of
not
knowing
quite
what
statements
applied
to
—
in
this
case
,
whether
to
the
assumption
that
Lily
really
was
a
schizophrenic
or
to
the
assumption
that
of
course
I
knew
that
her
"
schizophrenia
"
was
simply
a
new
hiding
place
in
the
masque
.
"
I
’
m
sorry
.
"
He
raised
his
hand
,
kind
man
;
I
was
not
to
excuse
myself
.
I
became
the
dupe
again
.
"
This
is
why
you
won
’
t
let
her
go
outside
Bourani
?
"
"
Of
course
.
"
"
Couldn
’
t
she
go
out
…
"
I
looked
at
the
tip
of
my
cigarette
…
"
under
supervision
?
"
"
She
is
,
in
law
,
certifiable
.
And
incurable
.
That
is
the
personal
responsibility
I
have
undertaken
.
To
ensure
that
she
never
enters
an
asylum
,
or
a
clinic
,
again
.
"
"
But
you
let
her
wander
around
.
She
could
easily
escape
.
"
He
raised
his
head
in
sharp
contradiction
.
"
Never
.
Her
nurse
never
leaves
her
.
"
"
Her
nurse
!
"
"
He
is
very
discreet
.
It
distresses
her
to
have
him
always
by
her
,
especially
here
,
so
he
keeps
well
in
the
background
.
One
day
you
will
see
him
.
"
I
thought
,
yeah
,
with
his
jackal
-
head
on
.
It
would
not
wash
;
but
the
extraordinary
thing
was
that
I
knew
,
and
more
than
half
suspected
that
Conchis
knew
that
I
knew
,
it
would
not
wash
.
I
hadn
’
t
played
chess
for
years
;
but
I
remembered
that
the
better
you
got
,
the
more
it
became
a
game
of
false
sacrifices
.
He
was
testing
not
my
powers
of
belief
,
but
my
powers
of
unbelief
;
assaying
my
incredulity
.
I
kept
my
face
innocent
.
"
This
is
why
you
keep
her
on
the
yacht
?
"
"
Yacht
?
"
"
I
thought
you
kept
her
on
a
yacht
.
"
"
That
is
her
little
secret
.
Allow
her
to
keep
it
.
"
I
smiled
.
"
So
this
is
why
my
two
predecessors
came
here
.
And
were
so
quiet
about
it
.
"
"
John
was
an
excellent
…
seeker
.
But
Mitford
was
a
disaster
.
You
see
,
Nicholas
,
he
was
totally
tricked
by
Lily
.
In
one
of
her
persecution
phases
.
As
usual
I
,
who
devote
my
life
to
her
,
became
the
persecutor
.
And
Mitford
attempted
one
night
—
in
the
crudest
and
most
harmful
way
—
to
,
as
he
put
it
,
rescue
her
.
Of
course
her
nurse
stepped
in
.
There
was
a
most
disagreeable
fracas
.
It
upset
her
deeply
.
If
I
sometimes
seem
irritable
to
you
,
it
is
because
I
am
so
anxious
not
to
see
any
repetition
of
last
year
.
"
He
raised
his
hand
.
"
I
mean
nothing
personal
.
You
are
very
intelligent
,
and
you
are
a
gentleman
;
they
are
both
qualities
that
Mitford
was
without
.
"
I
rubbed
my
nose
.
I
thought
of
other
awkward
questions
I
could
ask
,
and
decided
not
to
ask
them
;
to
play
the
dupe
.
The
constant
harping
on
my
intelligence
made
me
as
suspicious
as
a
crow
.
There
are
three
types
of
intelligent
person
:
the
first
so
intelligent
that
being
called
very
intelligent
must
seem
natural
and
obvious
;
the
second
sufficiently
intelligent
to
see
that
he
is
being
flattered
,
not
described
;
the
third
so
little
intelligent
that
he
will
believe
anything
.
I
knew
I
belonged
to
the
second
kind
.
I
could
not
absolutely
disbelieve
Conchis
;
all
he
said
could
—
just
—
be
true
.
I
supposed
there
were
still
poor
little
rich
psychotics
kept
out
of
in
’
stitutions
by
their
doting
relations
;
but
Conchis
was
the
least
doting
person
I
had
ever
met
.
It
didn
’
t
wash
,
it
didn
’
t
wash
.
There
were
various
things
about
Lily
,
looks
,
emotional
non
sequiturs
,
those
sudden
tears
,
that
in
retrospect
seemed
to
confirm
his
story
.
They
proved
nothing
.
Her
schizophrenia
apart
,
though
,
his
new
explanation
of
what
went
on
at
Bourani
made
more
sense
;
a
group
of
idle
people
,
talented
and
bored
international
rich
,
and
a
man
like
Conchis
and
a
place
like
Bourani
…
"
Well
,
"
he
said
,
"
do
you
believe
me
?
"
"
Do
I
look
as
if
I
don
’
t
?
"
"
We
are
none
of
us
what
we
look
.
"
"
You
shouldn
’
t
have
offered
me
that
suicide
pill
.
"
"
You
think
all
my
prussic
acid
is
ratafia
?
"
"
I
didn
’
t
say
that
.
I
’
m
your
guest
,
Mr
.
Conchis
.
Naturally
I
take
your
word
.
"
For
a
moment
,
masks
seemed
to
drop
on
both
sides
;
I
was
looking
at
a
face
totally
without
humor
and
he
,
I
suppose
,
was
looking
at
one
without
generosity
.
An
at
last
proclaimed
hostility
;
a
clash
of
wills
.
