She　was　exhilarated；　she　did　not　want　to　go　away　from　him。

She　had　her　place　by　him。　Who　should　take　her　away？

They　came　out　of　the　cafe。

〃Is　there　anything　you　would　like　to　do？〃　he　said。　〃Is　there

anything　we　can　do？〃

It　was　a　dark；　windy　night　in　March。

〃There　is　nothing　to　do；〃　she　said。

Which　was　the　answer　he　wanted。

〃Let　us　walk　then……where　shall　we　walk？〃　he　asked。

〃Shall　we　go　to　the　river？〃　she　suggested；　timidly。

In　a　moment　they　were　on　the　tram；　going　down　to　Trent

Bridge。　She　was　so　glad。　The　thought　of　walking　in　the　dark；

far…reaching　water…meadows；　beside　the　full　river；　transported

her。　Dark　water　flowing　in　silence　through　the　big；　restless

night　made　her　feel　wild。

They　crossed　the　bridge；　descended；　and　went　away　from　the

lights。　In　an　instant；　in　the　darkness；　he　took　her　hand　and

they　went　in　silence；　with　subtle　feet　treading　the　darkness。

The　town　fumed　away　on　their　left；　there　were　strange　lights　and

sounds；　the　wind　rushed　against　the　trees；　and　under　the　bridge。

They　walked　close　together；　powerful　in　unison。　He　drew　her　very

close；　held　her　with　a　subtle；　stealthy；　powerful　passion；　as　if

they　had　a　secret　agreement　which　held　good　in　the　profound

darkness。　The　profound　darkness　was　their　universe。

〃It　is　like　it　was　before；〃　she　said。

Yet　it　was　not　in　the　least　as　it　was　before。　Nevertheless

his　heart　was　perfectly　in　accord　with　her。　They　thought　one

thought。

〃I　knew　I　should　e　back；〃　he　said　at　length。

She　quivered。

〃Did　you　always　love　me？〃　she　asked。

The　directness　of　the　question　overcame　him；　submerged　him

for　a　moment。　The　darkness　travelled　massively　along。

〃I　had　to　e　back　to　you；〃　he　said；　as　if　hypnotized。　〃You

were　always　at　the　back　of　everything。〃
