a long time leaning upon the cold stone piers above the sea,

smoking and saying nothing! At last she turned to me a face of

tremendous weariness and whispered: ‘Take me home, now. I’m

dead tired.’ And so we hailed a pottering gharry and swung along

the Corniche as sedately as bankers after a congress. ‘I suppose we

are all hunting for the secrets of growth!’ was all she said as we

parted.

It was a strange remark to make at parting. I watched her walk

wearily up the steps to the great house groping for her key. I still

felt drunk with the story of Yuna and Aziz!

Brother Ass, it is a pity that you will never have a chance to

read all this tedious rigmarole; it would amuse me to study

your puzzled expression as you did so. Why should the artist

always be trying to saturate the world with his own anguish,

you asked me once. Why indeed? I will give you another phrase:

emotional gongorism! I have always been good at polite phrase-

making.
