"The other evening when I left you, I went home and closed my eyes and sat alone thinking of you," he told her. "To me all that is fine beyond words I try to translate into music. Where words even poetry fail, notes begin. So at the piano I tried to express something like a portrayal of you to myself." She seated herself on a stone bench while he stood looking down at her.

And through it all through the lazy drone of insects, the rustling sighs of the tree-tops and the subdued notes of living things ran a low and tremulous whispering, as if nature had found for itself a new language in this temporary absence of man.

If I stand here I can hear any step before it reaches the last flight of the stairs." The secretary took a pencil and a tablet from his breast pocket. "Keep your ears open," he said; and he began to walk slowly and softly round the miserable little room, making rapid notes on his tablet as he looked at things. First he went to the narrow bed.
