none of your business. He's all right. I don't know what the devil I came
up here for--thinking of other things." Davray too was thinking of other things. "You wonderful place!" he whispered. "You beautiful place! You've ruined me, but I don't care. You can do what you like with me. You wonder! You wonder!" Falk looked at him. The man was mad. He was holding on to the railing, leaning forward, staring.... "Look here, it isn't safe to lean like that. You'll be tumbling over and breaking your neck if you're not careful." But Davray did not hear him. He was lost in his own dreams. Falk despised dreams although just now he was himself in the grip of one. Besides the fellow was drunk. A sudden disgust of his companion overtook him. "Well, so long," he said. "I must be getting home!" He wondered for a moment whether it were safe to leave the fellow there. "It's his own look-out," he thought, and as Davray said no more he left him. Back once more in the King Harry Chapel, he looked up. But he could see no one and could hear no sound. |
