Blount, on the contrary, having in vain hunted for a supper, had been obliged to find a resting-place in the open air.
"It was a bad day for me," he said, speaking slowly and painfully. "A bad thing for me when that legacy came. I thought I'd see Paris, do the thing like a toff. And I heard 'Alcide' sing, and that little dance she did. I was in the front row, and I fancied she smiled at me. Lord, what a state I was in!

Michael stood aside in the shadow, and without being seen himself he could see and hear all that was going on.
