sort, in story, whose periodical change into tiger form was either

just going off, or just coming on.

He moved from end to end of his voluptuous bed room, looking

again at the scraps of the day’s journey that came unbidden into

his mind; the slow toil up the hill at sunset, the setting sun, the

descent, the mill, the prison on the crag, the little village in the

hollow, the peasants at the fountain, and the mender of roads with

his blue cap pointing out the chain under the carriage. That

fountain suggested the Paris fountain, the little bundle lying on

the step, the woman bending over it, and the tall man with his

arms up, crying, “Dead!”

bed.”

thin gauze curtains fall around him, and heard the night break its

silence with a long sigh as he composed himself to sleep.
