He
came
forward
three
steps
and
paused
for
a
time
.
His
movements
seemed
absolutely
noiseless
.
Then
he
came
forward
again
.
He
walked
like
a
bird
,
his
feet
fell
one
in
front
of
the
other
.
He
stepped
out
of
the
ray
of
light
that
came
through
the
doorway
,
and
it
seemed
as
though
he
vanished
altogether
in
the
shadow
.
For
a
moment
my
eyes
sought
him
in
the
wrong
place
,
and
then
I
perceived
him
standing
facing
us
both
in
the
full
light
.
Only
the
human
features
I
had
attributed
to
him
were
not
there
at
all
!
Of
course
I
ought
to
have
expected
that
,
only
I
did
n't
.
It
came
to
me
as
an
absolute
,
for
a
moment
an
overwhelming
shock
.
It
seemed
as
though
it
was
n't
a
face
,
as
though
it
must
needs
be
a
mask
,
a
horror
,
a
deformity
,
that
would
presently
be
disavowed
or
explained
.
There
was
no
nose
,
and
the
thing
had
dull
bulging
eyes
at
the
side
--
in
the
silhouette
I
had
supposed
they
were
ears
.
There
were
no
ears
...
I
have
tried
to
draw
one
of
these
heads
,
but
I
can
not
.
There
was
a
mouth
,
downwardly
curved
,
like
a
human
mouth
in
a
face
that
stares
ferociously
...
The
neck
on
which
the
head
was
poised
was
jointed
in
three
places
,
almost
like
the
short
joints
in
the
leg
of
a
crab
.
The
joints
of
the
limbs
I
could
not
see
,
because
of
the
puttee-like
straps
in
which
they
were
swathed
,
and
which
formed
the
only
clothing
the
being
wore
.
There
the
thing
was
,
looking
at
us
!
At
the
time
my
mind
was
taken
up
by
the
mad
impossibility
of
the
creature
.
I
suppose
he
also
was
amazed
,
and
with
more
reason
,
perhaps
,
for
amazement
than
we
.
Only
,
confound
him
!
he
did
not
show
it
We
did
at
least
know
what
had
brought
about
this
meeting
of
incompatible
creatures
.
But
conceive
how
it
would
seem
to
decent
Londoners
,
for
example
,
to
come
upon
a
couple
of
living
things
,
as
big
as
men
and
absolutely
unlike
any
other
earthly
animals
,
careering
about
among
the
sheep
in
Hyde
Park
!
It
must
have
taken
him
like
that
.
Figure
us
!
We
were
bound
hand
and
foot
,
fagged
and
filthy
;
our
beards
two
inches
long
,
our
faces
scratched
and
bloody
.
Cavor
you
must
imagine
in
his
knickerbockers
(
torn
in
several
places
by
the
bayonet
scrub
)
his
Jaegar
shirt
and
old
cricket
cap
,
his
wiry
hair
wildly
disordered
,
a
tail
to
every
quarter
of
the
heavens
.
In
that
blue
light
his
face
did
not
look
red
but
very
dark
,
his
lips
and
the
drying
blood
upon
my
hands
seemed
black
.
If
possible
I
was
in
a
worse
plight
than
he
,
on
account
of
the
yellow
fungus
into
which
I
had
jumped
.
Our
jackets
were
unbuttoned
,
and
our
shoes
had
been
taken
off
and
lay
at
our
feet
.
And
we
were
sitting
with
our
backs
to
this
queer
bluish
light
,
peering
at
such
a
monster
as
Durer
might
have
invented
.
Cavor
broke
the
silence
;
started
to
speak
,
went
hoarse
,
and
cleared
his
throat
.
Outside
began
a
terrific
bellowing
,
as
if
a
mooncalf
were
in
trouble
.
It
ended
in
a
shriek
,
and
everything
was
still
again
.
Presently
the
Selenite
turned
about
,
flickered
into
the
shadow
,
stood
for
a
moment
retrospective
at
the
door
,
and
then
closed
it
on
us
;
and
once
more
we
were
in
that
murmurous
mystery
of
darkness
into
which
we
had
awakened
.
