ee　it……it　was　always　present；　and　was　to　him　as　his　own

eyes。　He　was　never　aware　of　the　separate　being　of　her。　She　was　like　his

own　eyes　and　his　own　heart　beating　to　him。

So　he　went　across　to　her；　to　get　his　sleeping　suit。　It　was　always　a

perfect　adventure　to　go　near　to　her。　She　put　her　arms　round　him；　and

snuffed　his　warm；　softened　skin。

〃Scent；〃　she　said。

〃Soap；〃　he　answered。

〃Soap；〃　she　repeated；　looking　up　with　bright　eyes。　They　were　both

laughing；　always　laughing。＇

Soon　they　were　fast　asleep；　asleep　till　midday；　close

together；　sleeping　one　sleep。　Then　they　awoke　to　the

ever…changing　reality　of　their　state。　They　alone　inhabited　the

world　of　reality。　All　the　rest　lived　on　a　lower　sphere。

Whatever　they　wanted　to　do；　they　did。　They　saw　a　few

people……Dorothy；　whose　guest　she　was　supposed　to　be；　and　a

couple　of　friends　of　Skrebensky；　young　Oxford　men；　who　called

her　Mrs。　Skrebensky　with　entire　simplicity。　They　treated　her；

indeed；　with　such　respect；　that　she　began　to　think　she　was

really　quite　of　the　whole　universe；　of　the　old　world　as　well　as

of　the　new。　She　forgot　she　was　outside　the　pale　of　the　old

world。　She　thought　she　had　brought　it　under　the　spell　of　her

own；　real　world。　And　so　she　had。

In　such　ever…changing　reality　the　weeks　went　by。　All　the

time；　they　were　an　unknown　world　to　each　other。　Every　movement

made　by　the　one　was　a　reality　and　an　adventure　to　the　other。

They　did　not　want　outside　excitements。　They　went　to　very　few

theatres；　they　were　often　in　their　sitting…room　high　up　over

Piccadilly；　with　windows　open　on　two　sides；　and　the　door　open　on

to　the　balcony；
