They were unsettled in their minds. "Not that kind," he replied significantly. "I mean the kind the rain plays with the wind and leaves, the stream with the stones and roots along its bank, the rivers with the sea. That's the kind of hide-and- seek I mean!" He chose instinctively watery symbols.
But to Harriet and Richard the delicious, secret game of hide-and- go-seek made everything else in the world insignificant. Harriet opened the boxes of flowers he sent her with a heart suffocating with joy. Richard consented to be absent from the dinner table over which she presided with an agony of renunciation that almost made him feel ill.
Now the baker has sold out of white bread," she said, "so you must just have black bread-and-butter with your coffee." "But that's capital," they cried. "Black bread always goes best with coffee.
