For
fifty
years
I
ve
watched
the
grandfather
clock
in
the
hall
,
William
.
After
it
is
wound
I
can
predict
to
the
hour
when
it
will
stop
.
Old
people
are
no
different
.
They
can
feel
the
machinery
slow
down
and
the
last
weights
shift
.
Oh
,
please
don
t
look
that
way
please
don
t
.
"
"
I
can
t
help
it
,
"
he
said

We
ve
had
a
nice
time
,
haven
t
we
?
It
has
been
very
special
here
,
talking
every
day
.
It
was
that
much
-
overburdened
and
worn
phrase
referred
to
as
a
meeting
of
the
minds
.
"
She
turned
the
blue
envelope
in
her
hands
.
"
I
ve
always
known
that
the
quality
of
love
was
the
mind
,
even
though
the
body
sometimes
refuses
this
knowledge
.
The
body
lives
for
itself
.
It
lives
only
to
feed
and
wait
for
the
night
.
It
s
essentially
nocturnal
.
But
what
of
the
mind
which
is
born
of
the
sun
,
William
,
and
must
spend
thousands
of
hours
of
a
lifetime
awake
and
aware
?
Can
you
balance
off
the
body
,
that
pitiful
,
selfish
thing
of
night
against
a
whole
lifetime
of
sun
and
intellect
?
I
don
t
know
.
I
only
know
there
has
been
your
mind
here
and
my
mind
here
,
and
the
afternoons
have
been
like
none
I
can
remember
.
There
is
still
so
much
to
talk
about
,
but
we
must
save
it
for
another
time
.
"
"
We
don
t
seem
to
have
much
time
now
.
"
"
No
,
but
perhaps
there
will
be
another
time
.
Time
is
so
strange
and
life
is
twice
as
strange
.
The
cogs
miss
,
the
wheels
turn
,
and
lives
interlace
too
early
or
too
late
.
I
lived
too
long
,
that
much
is
certain
.
And
you
were
born
either
too
early
or
too
late
.
It
was
a
terrible
bit
of
timing
.
But
perhaps
I
am
being
punished
for
being
a
silly
girl
.
Anyway
,
the
next
spin
around
,
wheels
might
function
right
again
.
Meantime
you
must
find
a
nice
girl
and
be
married
and
be
happy
.
But
you
must
promise
me
one
thing
.

Anything
.
"
"
You
must
promise
me
not
to
live
to
be
too
old
,
William
.
If
it
is
at
all
convenient
,
die
before
you
re
fifty
.
It
may
take
a
bit
of
doing
.
But
I
advise
this
simply
because
there
is
no
telling
when
another
Helen
Loomis
might
be
born
.
It
would
be
dreadful
,
wouldn
t
it
,
if
you
lived
on
to
be
very
,
very
old
and
some
afternoon
in
1999
walked
down
Main
Street
and
saw
me
standing
there
,
aged
twenty
-
one
,
and
the
whole
thing
out
of
balance
again
?
I
don
t
think
we
could
go
through
any
more
afternoons
like
these
we
ve
had
,
no
matter
how
pleasant
,
do
you
?
A
thousand
gallons
of
tea
and
five
hundred
biscuits
is
enough
for
one
friendship
.
So
you
must
have
an
attack
of
pneumonia
some
time
in
about
twenty
years
.
For
I
don
t
know
how
long
they
let
you
linger
on
the
other
side
.
Perhaps
they
send
you
back
immediately
.
But
I
shall
do
my
best
,
William
,
really
I
shall
.
And
everything
put
right
and
in
balance
,
do
you
know
what
might
happen
?
"
"
You
tell
me
.
