army of white geese marched aside in braggart protest。 Ursula

was light as a white ball of down。 Skrebensky drifted beside

her; indefinite; his old from loosened; and another self; grey;

vague; drifting out as from a bud。 They talked lightly; of

nothing。

The blue way of the canal wound softly between the autumn

hedges; on towards the greenness of a small hill。 On the left

was the whole black agitation of colliery and railway and the

town which rose on its hill; the church tower topping all。 The

round white dot of the clock on the tower was distinct in the

evening light。

That way; Ursula felt; was the way to London; through the

grim; alluring seethe of the town。 On the other hand was the

evening; mellow over the green water…meadows and the winding

alder trees beside the river; and the pale stretches of stubble

beyond。 There the evening glowed softly; and even a pee…wit was

flapping in solitude and peace。

Ursula and Anton Skrebensky walked along the ridge of the

canal between。 The berries on the hedges were crimson and bright

red; above the leaves。 The glow of evening and the wheeling of

the solitary pee…wit and the faint cry of the birds came to meet

the shuffling noise of the pits; the dark; fuming stress of the

town opposite; and they two walked the blue strip of water…way;

the ribbon of sky between。

He was looking; Ursula thought; very beautiful; because of a

flush of sunburn on his hands and face。 He was telling her how

he had learned to shoe horses and select cattle fit for

killing。

〃Do you like to be a soldier?〃 she asked。

〃I am not exactly a soldier;〃 he replied。

〃But you only do things for wars;〃 she said。

〃Yes。〃

〃Would you like to go to war?〃

〃I? Well; it would be exciting。 If there were a war I would

want to go。〃

A strange; distracted feeling came over her; a sense of

potent unrealities。

〃Why would you want to go?〃
