the　cart　was　seen　ing　round　the　corner；　familiar

furniture　piled　undignified　on　top；　Tom；　her　brother；　and

Theresa；　marching　on　foot　beside　the　mass；　proud　of　having

walked　ten　miles　or　more；　from　the　tram　terminus。　Ursula　poured

out　beer；　and　the　men　drank　thirstily；　by　the　door。　A　second

cart　was　ing。　Her　father　appeared　on　his　motor　bicycle。　There

was　the　staggering　transport　of　furniture　up　the　steps　to　the

〃Now　we're　all　here。〃

〃Ay；〃　said　his　wife　pleasantly。

And　the　very　brevity；　the　silence　of　intimacy　between　the　two
