whitewashed church。 In its shadowy atmosphere he sank back into

being。 He liked to sink himself in its hush as a stone sinks

into water。

He went across his garden; mounted the wall by the little

steps; and entered the hush and peace of the church。 As the

heavy door clanged to behind him; his feet re…echoed in the

aisle; his heart re…echoed with a little passion of tenderness

and mystic peace。 He was also slightly ashamed; like a man who

has failed; who lapses back for his fulfilment。

the new little voice crying in the stillness。 All the future

rang to her out of the sound of the babys crying and cooing;

she balanced the ing years of life in her hands; as she

nursed the child。 The passionate sense of fulfilment; of the

future germinated in her; made her vivid and powerful。 All the

future was in her hands; in the hands of the woman。 And before
