One crumbling bastion and two gaunt fragments of adobe walls in a waste of sand beside the river that's Fort Benton. A thin pale grudging strip of moon lit it up: just the moon by which to see ruins a moon for backward looking and regrets. A full round love-moon wouldn't have served at all. Out of pure moon-haze I restored the walls of the house where the bourgeois lived.
Not that I've been ass enough to say anything after the first time. I'm only an ordinary sort of chap when it comes to intuition, but somehow I've never plucked up the cheek to do any talking about my own miserable self; not since she let me down as gently as she could, while I paddled her back from Birch Point to the canoe house, with Elephant Mountain ragged-backed in the moon-haze.
Both missed the "stop" by about two yards, though I don't know what would have happened if they had found it. Digging and death in the former case, and battle and blood in the latter, perhaps. But no matter, they passed on their unlawful occasions; and half-an-hour after the going of the stoat the old doe-rabbit came out, and dissolved into the moon-haze.
"Berlin spirit, huh!" they are telling their wives a month later "Berlin spirit? All artificial. Just to make money out of the visitors. And very sordid!" Ah, Cairo dreaming in the Nile's moon-haze are you to be judged thus by the narrow street that snakes into the dark of Bulak? And Budapest by the Danube are you to be judged by the wreckage of the Stefansplatz that has drifted on your shores?
A faint beating, like that of a muffled drum, came out of the moon-haze. 'What's that? said Maisie, quickly. 'It sounds like a heart beating. Where is it? Dick was so angry at this sudden wrench to his pleadings that he could not trust himself to speak, and in this silence caught the sound. Maisie from her seat under the gun watched him with a certain amount of fear.
