he Surroundings
The former tenant of our house, a priest had died in the
back drawing room. Air, musty from having been long
enclosed, hung in all the rooms and the waste room
behind the kitchen was littered with old useless papers.
The career of our play brought us through the dark muddy lanes
behind the houses, where we ran the gauntlet of the rough tribes from
the cottages, to the back doors of the dark dripping gardens where
odours arose from the ashpits to the dark odorous stables where
She was waiting for us, her figure defined by the light from the half opened door.
My body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running
upon the wires.
