"You may well thank me. I have saved your life!" she cried hysterically, and was gone. Kingozi did not examine the meaning of this; indeed, it hardly registered at all as it was to him evidently the product of excitement. He forgot even the scandalized Cazi Moto squatting at his feet. For a long time he stared sightlessly straight ahead. He could not explain this woman.
He was back, flatly enough, but back to possibilities and prospects, and the ground he now somewhat sightlessly covered was the act of renewed possession. He walked northward without a plan, without suspicion, quite in the direction his little New York friend, in her restless ramble, had taken a day or two before.
"That's what happened to me with her to-day," she continued to explain. "It came home to me that that's what I've really been doing." "Oh, I see." "I needn't torment myself. She has taken them over." The Colonel declared that he "saw"; yet it was as if, at this, he a little sightlessly stared. "But what then has happened, from one day to the other, to HER? What has opened her eyes?"
All around were the Germans butting drunkenly through the blanket-dense fog, swinging their rifles like flails, shouting confused orders, occasionally firing. Now and then two or more of them would collide and would wrestle in blind fury, thinking they had encountered an American. Impeded by their own sightlessly swarming numbers, as much as by the impenetrable darkness, they sought the foe.
"That's what happened to me with her to-day," she continued to explain. "It came home to me that that's what I've really been doing." "Oh, I see." "I needn't torment myself. She has taken them over." The Colonel declared that he "saw"; yet it was as if, at this, he a little sightlessly stared. "But what then has happened, from one day to the other, to HER? What has opened her eyes?"
So, with his strange, old smile showing his teeth rather terribly, the old knight glowered sightlessly over his glass at Aaron. Then he drank: the strange, careful, old-man's gesture in drinking. "But," said Aaron, "if Fortune is a female " "Fortune! Fortune! Why, Fortune is a lady. What do you say, Major?"
His heart torn with a hundred inarticulate cries of memory and grief, he sat on beside the water, unconscious of the passing of time, his gray eyes staring sightlessly at the wood-pigeons as they flew past him, at the occasional flash of a kingfisher, at the moving panorama of summer clouds above the trees opposite.
"Then see here. Do keep an eye upon him." "But why? Is he a bad lot?" "Something like it, I think." "I will then." At a table near the hatchway of the first-class cabin, a fat man in grey was drinking beer. Already he had reached a state of moderate fuddlement, for his eyes were protruding sightlessly and staring unwinkingly at the opposite wall.
He strolled along the boulevard and paused sightlessly before the shops, sat a while in the Tuileries gardens and looked at the shabby unfortunates for whom this only was nature and summer; but simply felt afresh, as a result of it all, the dusty dreary lonely world to which Madame de Mauves had consigned him.
The man was lying on his face; just as he had fallen, no doubt; with a superhuman effort she gathered up all her strength and lifted those hunched-up shoulders from the ground. Then she gave a smothered cry; the pallid face of Erös Béla was staring sightlessly up at the moon.
