"I saw it, too, years, ages ago," said Heyst. "On your way here?" "No, long before I ever thought of coming into this part of the world. I was yet a boy." She turned and looked at him attentively, as if seeking to discover some trace of that boyhood in the mature face of the man with the hair thin at the top and the long, thick moustaches.
