At
the
hospital
they
told
me
I
might
wait
.
They
gave
me
a
chair
,
and
I
sat
outside
the
door
.
When
she
became
unconscious
they
said
I
might
go
in
.
Her
mouth
and
chin
were
all
burnt
by
the
acid
.
It
was
awful
to
see
her
lovely
skin
all
wounded
.
She
died
very
peacefully
,
so
that
I
didn
’
t
know
she
was
dead
till
the
sister
told
me
.
"
He
was
too
tired
to
weep
.
He
lay
on
his
back
limply
,
as
though
all
the
strength
had
gone
out
of
his
limbs
,
and
presently
I
saw
that
he
had
fallen
asleep
It
was
the
first
natural
sleep
he
had
had
for
a
week
.
Nature
,
sometimes
so
cruel
,
is
sometimes
merciful
.
I
covered
him
and
turned
down
the
light
.
In
the
morning
when
I
awoke
he
was
still
asleep
.
He
had
not
moved
.
His
gold
-
rimmed
spectacles
were
still
on
his
nose
.
The
circumstances
of
Blanche
Stroeve
’
s
death
necessitated
all
manner
of
dreadful
formalities
,
but
at
last
we
were
allowed
to
bury
her
.
Dirk
and
I
alone
followed
the
hearse
to
the
cemetery
.
We
went
at
a
foot
-
pace
,
but
on
the
way
back
we
trotted
,
and
there
was
something
to
my
mind
singularly
horrible
in
the
way
the
driver
of
the
hearse
whipped
up
his
horses
.
It
seemed
to
dismiss
the
dead
with
a
shrug
of
the
shoulders
.
Now
and
then
I
caught
sight
of
the
swaying
hearse
in
front
of
us
,
and
our
own
driver
urged
his
pair
so
that
we
might
not
remain
behind
.
I
felt
in
myself
,
too
,
the
desire
to
get
the
whole
thing
out
of
my
mind
.
I
was
beginning
to
be
bored
with
a
tragedy
that
did
not
really
concern
me
,
and
pretending
to
myself
that
I
spoke
in
order
to
distract
Stroeve
,
I
turned
with
relief
to
other
subjects
.
"
Don
’
t
you
think
you
’
d
better
go
away
for
a
bit
?
"
I
said
.
"
There
can
be
no
object
in
your
staying
in
Paris
now
.
"
He
did
not
answer
,
but
I
went
on
ruthlessly
:
"
Have
you
made
any
plans
for
the
immediate
future
?
"
"
No
.
"
"
You
must
try
and
gather
together
the
threads
again
.
Why
don
’
t
you
go
down
to
Italy
and
start
working
?
"
Again
he
made
no
reply
,
but
the
driver
of
our
carriage
came
to
my
rescue
.
Slackening
his
pace
for
a
moment
,
he
leaned
over
and
spoke
.
I
could
not
hear
what
he
said
,
so
I
put
my
head
out
of
the
window
.
He
wanted
to
know
where
we
wished
to
be
set
down
.
I
told
him
to
wait
a
minute
.
