car ran on; and a soft; midsummer dusk began to gather。 For a

long while they sat motionless。 Only now and again her hand

closed more closely; lovingly; over his hand; then gradually

relaxed。

The dusk began to fall。 One or two lights appeared。 The

driver drew up to light his lamps。 Skrebensky moved for the

first time; leaning forward to watch the driver。 His face had

always the same still; clarified; almost childlike look;

impersonal。

They saw the drivers strange; full; dark face peering into

the lamps under drawn brows。 Ursula shuddered。 It was the face

almost of an animal yet of a quick; strong; wary animal that had

them within its knowledge; almost within its power。 She clung

closer to Krebensky。

〃My love?〃 she said to him; questioningly; when the car was

again running in full motion。

He made no movement or sound。 He let her hold his hand; he

let her reach forward; in the gathering darkness; and kiss his

still cheek。 The crying had gone by……he would not cry any

more。 He was whole and himself again。

〃My love;〃 she repeated; trying to make him notice her。 But

as yet he could not。

He watched the road。 They were running by Kensington Gardens。

For the first time his lips opened。

〃Shall we get out and go into the park;〃 he asked。

〃Yes;〃 she said; quietly; not sure what was ing。

After a moment he took the tube from its peg。 She saw the

stout; strong; self…contained driver lean his head。

〃Stop at Hyde Park Corner。〃

The dark head nodded; the car ran on just the same。

Presently they pulled up。 Skrebensky paid the man。 Ursula

stood back。 She saw the driver salute as he received his tip;

and then; before he set the car in motion; turn and look at her;

als look; his eyes very

concentrated and the whites of his eyes flickering。 Then he

drove away into the crowd。 He had let her go。 She had been

afraid。
