She
wondered
at
his
composure
,
his
competence
,
at
his
knowing
so
exactly
what
to
say
.
No
doubt
men
often
had
to
make
such
explanations
:
they
had
the
formulas
by
heart
.
.
.
.
A
leaden
lassitude
descended
on
her
.
She
passed
from
flame
and
torment
into
a
colourless
cold
world
where
everything
surrounding
her
seemed
equally
indifferent
and
remote
.
For
a
moment
she
simply
ceased
to
feel
.
She
became
aware
that
Darrow
was
waiting
for
her
to
speak
,
and
she
made
an
effort
to
represent
to
herself
the
meaning
of
what
he
had
just
said
;
but
her
mind
was
as
blank
as
a
blurred
mirror
.
Finally
she
brought
out
:
“
I
don
’
t
think
I
understand
what
you
’
ve
told
me
.
”
“
No
;
you
don
’
t
understand
,
”
he
returned
with
sudden
bitterness
;
and
on
his
lips
the
charge
of
incomprehension
seemed
an
offense
to
her
.
“
I
don
’
t
want
to
—
about
such
things
!
”
He
answered
almost
harshly
:
“
Don
’
t
be
afraid
.
.
.
you
never
will
.
.
.
”
and
for
an
instant
they
faced
each
other
like
enemies
.
Then
the
tears
swelled
in
her
throat
at
his
reproach
.
“
You
mean
I
don
’
t
feel
things
—
I
’
m
too
hard
?
”
“
No
:
you
’
re
too
high
.
.
.
too
fine
.
.
.
such
things
are
too
far
from
you
.
”
He
paused
,
as
if
conscious
of
the
futility
of
going
on
with
whatever
he
had
meant
to
say
,
and
again
,
for
a
short
space
,
they
confronted
each
other
,
no
longer
as
enemies
—
so
it
seemed
to
her
—
but
as
beings
of
different
language
who
had
forgotten
the
few
words
they
had
learned
of
each
other
’
s
speech
.
Darrow
broke
the
silence
.
“
It
’
s
best
,
on
all
accounts
,
that
I
should
stay
till
tomorrow
;
but
I
needn
’
t
intrude
on
you
;
we
needn
’
t
meet
again
alone
.
I
only
want
to
be
sure
I
know
your
wishes
.
”
He
spoke
the
short
sentences
in
a
level
voice
,
as
though
he
were
summing
up
the
results
of
a
business
conference
.
