〃We will go and have some supper。〃

He was now always quiet and decided and remote; very

beautiful。 He seemed to have some strange; cold power over

her。

They went to a restaurant; and drank chianti。 But his pale;

wan look did not go away。

〃Dont leave me to…night;〃 he said at length; looking at her;

pleading。 He was so strange and impersonal; she was afraid。

〃But the people of my place;〃 she said; quivering。

〃I will explain to them……they know we are engaged。〃

She sat pale and mute。 He waited。

〃Shall we go?〃 he said at length。

〃Where?〃

〃To an hotel。〃

Her heart was hardened。 Without answering; she rose to

acquiesce。 But she was now cold and unreal。 Yet she could not

refuse him。 It seemed like fate; a fate she did not want。

They went to an Italian hotel somewhere; and had a sombre

bedroom with a very large bed; clean; but sombre。 The ceiling

was painted with a bunch of flowers in a big medallion over the

bed。 She thought it was pretty。

He came to her; and cleaved to her very close; like steel

cleaving and clinching on to her。 Her passion was roused; it was

fierce but cold。 But it was fierce; and extreme; and good; their

passion this night。 He slept with her fast in his arms。 All

night long he held her fast against him。 She was passive;

acquiscent。 But her sleep was not very deep nor very real。

She woke in the morning to a sound of water dashed on a

courtyard; to sunlight streaming through a lattice。 She thought

she was in a foreign country。 And Skrebensky was there an

incubus upon her。

She lay still; thinking; whilst his arm was round her; his

head against her shoulders; his body against hers; just behind

her。 He was still asleep。

She watched the sunshine ing in bars through the

persiennes; and her immediate surroundings again melted

away。
