〃I　don't　know。〃

And　she　seized　hold　of　his　arm；　held　him　fast；　as　if　captive；

and　walked　him　a　little　way　by　the　edge　of　the　dazzling；　dazing

water。

Then　there　in　the　great　flare　of　light；　she　clinched　hold　of

him；　hard；　as　if　suddenly　she　had　the　strength　of　destruction；

she　fastened　her　arms　round　him　and　tightened　him　in　her　grip；

whilst　her　mouth　sought　his　in　a　hard；　rending；　ever…increasing

kiss；　till　his　body　was　powerless　in　her　grip；　his　heart　melted

in　fear　from　the　fierce；　beaked；　harpy's　kiss。　The　water　washed

consummation　was　terrible。　It　lasted　till　it　was　agony　to　his

soul；　till　he　succumbed；　till　he　gave　way　as　if　dead；　lay　with

his　face　buried；　partly　in　her　hair；　partly　in　the　sand；

motionless；　as　if　he　would　be　motionless　now　for　ever；　hidden
