From
his
coat
pocket
he
brought
small
tissue
-
paperwrapped
thing
.
He
laid
it
discreetly
on
the
low
table
.
Both
of
them
immediately
noticed
,
and
this
required
him
to
say
,
"
Bagatelle
for
you
.
To
display
fragment
of
the
relaxation
and
enjoyment
I
feel
in
being
here
.
"
His
hand
opened
the
tissue
paper
,
showing
them
the
gift
.
Bit
of
ivory
carved
a
century
ago
by
whalers
from
New
England
.
Tiny
ornamented
art
object
,
called
a
scrimshaw
.
Their
faces
illuminated
with
knowledge
of
the
scrimshaws
which
the
old
sailors
had
made
in
their
spare
time
.
No
single
thing
could
have
summed
up
old
U
.
S

culture
more

Silence
.
"
Thank
you
,
"
Paul
said
.
Robert
Childan
bowed
.
There
was
peace
,
then
,
for
a
moment
,
in
his
heart
.
This
offering
,
this
—
as
the
I
Ching
put
it
—
libation
.
It
had
done
what
needed
to
be
done
.
Some
of
the
anxiety
and
oppression
which
he
had
felt
lately
began
to
lift
from
him
.
From
Ray
Calvin
he
had
received
restitution
for
the
Colt
.
44
,
plus
many
written
assurances
of
no
second
recurrence
.
And
yet
it
had
not
eased
his
heart
.
Only
now
,
in
this
unrelated
situation
,
had
he
for
a
moment
lost
the
sense
that
things
were
in
the
constant
process
of
going
askew
.
The
wabi
around
him
,
radiations
of
harmony
…
that
is
it
,
he
decided
.
The
proportion
.
Balance
.
They
are
so
close
to
the
Tao
,
these
two
young
Japanese
.
That
is
why
I
reacted
to
them
before
.
I
sensed
the
Tao
through
them
.
Saw
a
glimpse
of
it
myself
.
What
would
it
be
like
,
he
wondered
,
to
really
know
the
Tao
?
The
Tao
is
that
which
first
lets
the
light
,
then
the
dark
.
Occasions
the
interplay
of
the
two
primal
forces
so
that
there
is
always
renewal
.
It
is
that
which
keeps
it
all
from
wearing
down
.
The
universe
will
never
be
extinguished
because
just
when
the
darkness
seems
to
have
smothered
all
,
to
be
truly
transcendent
,
the
new
seeds
of
light
are
reborn
in
the
very
depths
.
That
is
the
Way
.
When
the
seed
falls
,
it
falls
into
the
earth
,
into
the
soil
.
And
beneath
,
out
of
sight
,
it
comes
to
life
.
"
An
hors
d
’
oeuvre
,
"
Betty
said
.
She
knelt
to
hold
out
a
plate
on
which
lay
small
crackers
of
cheese
,
et
cetera
.
He
took
two
gratefully
.
