Skrebensky turned with her into the park。 A band was still

playing and the place was thronged with people。 They listened to

the ebbing music; then went aside to a dark seat; where they sat

closely; hand in hand。

Then at length; as out of the silence; she said to him;

wondering:

〃What hurt you so?〃

She really did not know; at this moment。

〃When you said you wanted never to marry me;〃 he replied;

with a childish simplicity。

〃But why did that hurt you so?〃 she said。 〃You neednt mind

everything I say so particularly。〃

〃I dont know……I didnt want to do it;〃 he said; humbly;

ashamed。

She pressed his hand warmly。 They sat close together;

watching the soldiers go by with their sweethearts; the lights

trailing in myriads down the great thoroughfares that beat on

the edge of the park。

〃I didnt know you cared so much;〃 she said; also humbly。

〃I didnt;〃 he said。 〃I was knocked over myself。……But I

care……all the world。〃

His voice was so quiet and colourless; it made her heart go

pale with fear。

〃My love!〃 she said; drawing near to him。 But she spoke out

of fear; not out of love。

〃I care all the world……I care for nothing

else……neither in life nor in death;〃 he said; in the same

steady; colourless voice of essential truth。

〃Than for what?〃 she murmured duskily。

〃Than for you……to be with me。〃

And again she was afraid。 Was she to be conquered by this?

She cowered close to him; very close to him。 They sat perfectly

still; listening to the great; heavy; beating sound of the town;

the murmur of lovers going by; the footsteps of soldiers。

She shivered against him。

〃You are cold?〃 he said。

〃A little。〃
