The
man
inside
recovered
from
his
first
surprise
.
He
struck
wildly
through
the
bars
behind
him
with
his
other
hand
.
A
chance
swipe
took
the
blind
man
in
the
face
.
It
made
him
give
a
yell
and
tighten
his
grip
.
The
leader
of
the
crowd
was
wrenching
at
the
gate
fastening
.
At
that
moment
a
rifle
cracked
.
The
bullet
pinged
against
the
railings
and
whirred
off
on
a
ricochet
.
The
leader
checked
suddenly
,
undecided
.
Behind
him
there
was
an
outbreak
of
curses
and
a
scream
or
two
.
The
crowd
swayed
back
and
forth
as
though
uncertain
whether
to
run
or
to
charge
the
gates
.
The
decision
was
made
for
them
by
those
in
the
courtyard
.
I
saw
a
youngish
-
looking
man
tuck
something
under
his
arm
,
and
I
dropped
down
,
pulling
Josella
with
me
,
as
the
clatter
of
a
submachine
gun
began
.
It
was
obvious
that
the
shooting
was
deliberately
high
;
nevertheless
,
the
rattle
of
it
,
and
the
whizz
of
glancing
bullets
,
was
alarming
.
One
short
burst
was
enough
to
settle
the
matter
.
When
we
raised
our
heads
the
crowd
had
lost
entity
and
its
components
were
groping
their
ways
to
safer
parts
in
all
three
possible
directions
.
The
leader
paused
only
to
shout
something
unintelligible
,
then
he
turned
away
too
.
He
made
his
way
northward
up
Malet
Street
,
doing
his
best
to
rally
his
following
behind
him
.
I
sat
where
we
were
and
looked
at
Josella
.
She
looked
thoughtfully
back
at
me
and
then
down
at
the
ground
before
her
.
It
was
some
minutes
before
either
of
us
spoke
.
"
Well
?
"
I
asked
at
last
.
She
raised
her
head
to
look
across
the
road
,
and
then
at
the
last
stragglers
from
the
crowd
pathetically
fumbling
their
ways
.
He
was
right
,
"
she
said
.
"
You
know
he
was
right
,
don
’
t
you
?
"
I
nodded
.
Yes
,
he
was
right
.
And
yet
he
was
quite
wrong
too
.
You
see
,
there
is
no
‘
they
’
to
come
to
clear
up
this
mess
—
I
’
m
quite
sure
of
that
now
.
It
won
’
t
be
cleared
up
.
We
could
do
as
he
says
.
We
could
show
some
,
though
only
some
,
of
these
people
where
there
is
food
.
We
could
do
that
for
a
few
days
,
maybe
for
a
few
weeks
,
but
after
that
—
what
?
"
"
It
seems
so
awful
,
so
callous
