He did not mind his clothes and hands being torn by the unseen refuse of No Man's Land. His chief sensation was one of utter loneliness, mingled with exultance at freedom.
Life was still very full and strangely serene for the blind man, peaceful with the almost incomprehensible peace of immediate contact in darkness. With his wife he had a whole world, rich and real and invisible. They were newly and remotely happy. He did not even regret the loss of his sight in these times of dark, palpable joy. A certain exultance swelled his soul.
I made him run!" he exulted. He shifted his grip on his rifle, and the heat of the barrel reminded him that he had emptied the magazine. He reloaded the weapon to its fullest capacity, and stood up in his stirrups to stare at the ridge crest. The murderer did not reappear. Ashton's exultance gave place to disappointment.

So he remained, motionless and rapt for some minutes, then the look of listening died from his face, and he bowed his head satisfied. "Ah, that was good," he said.

Yet now she heard it, heard the strange clapping vibration of truth in his voice as he said it, she could not believe. She could not believe she did not believe. Yet she believed, triumphantly, with fatal exultance. 'Why not? he said. 'Why don't you believe it? It's true.
