And now, after three months, the meaning of this notice was becoming very clear. The old agent, Mr. Hull, had been dismissed, and moderately very moderately pensioned. It was said that Miss Bremerton, on looking into his accounts, saw no reason at all for any special indulgence.
He felt in touch, once more, faintly but perceptibly, with something stable in the chaos. In bygone years he had not seen the chaos, but the illusion of an orderly world, a continual succession of sunrises, 'couleur de rose', from the heights above Bremerton.
At Bremerton, it had not gathered in the pockets, he had used it all all had counted; but in the feverish, ceaseless activity of the city parish he had never once felt that intense satisfaction of emptying himself, nor, the sweet weariness that follows it. His seemed the weariness of futility.

'Why wasn't Miss Bremerton doing something for the war? Greek indeed! when there was this fearful thing going on! And in the evening air, as the girl turned her face towards the moonrise, she seemed to hear the booming of the Flanders guns.
