Road; pacing them till night fell。 But he never found her。
He wondered; beating against the bars of his poverty; if money would
have helped him。 But the grim; endless city; hiding its million
secrets; seemed to mock the thought。 A few pounds he had scraped
together he spent in advertisements; but he expected no response;
and none came。 It was not likely she would see them。
And so after a time the park; and even the streets round about it;
became hateful to him; and he moved away to another part of London;
hoping to forget。 But he never quite succeeded。 Always it would
come back to him when he was not thinking: the broad; quiet walk
with its prim trees and gay beds of flowers。 And always he would
see her seated there; framed by the fading light。 At least; that
much of her: the little spiritual face; and the brown shoes
pointing downwards; and between them the little fawn gloves folded
upon her lap。
