She embraced him again, and he actually felt comforted.... She was gone. "As I grow older," he reflected, "I'm hanged if I don't understand life less and less." He was listening to the distant rhythm of the music when he mistily comprehended that there was no music and that the sounds in his ear were not musical.
Across its path rumbled a street car mistily bright behind the rain, crowded with people who represented a rational humanity aloof from the little compartment in which were shut up these two victims of remarkable beliefs.

When they reached the house, it stood mistily bulked among shadows, with its front door open upon an unlighted room.
