ent　rather　reluctantly。　Her　marriage　was　more　or　less

fixed　for　the　twenty…eighth　of　the　month。　They　were　to　sail　for

India　on　September　the　fifth。　One　thing　she　knew；　in　her

subconsciousness；　and　that　was；　she　would　never　sail　for

India。

She　and　Anton；　being　important　guests　on　account　of　the

ing　marriage；　had　rooms　in　the　large　bungalow。　It　was　a　big

place；　with　a　great　central　hall；　two　smaller　writing…rooms；　and

then　two　corridors　from　which　opened　eight　or　nine　bedrooms。

Skrebensky　was　put　on　one　corridor；　Ursula　on　the　other。　They

felt　very　lost；　in　the　crowd。

Being　lovers；　however；　they　were　allowed　to　be　out　alone

together　as　much　as　they　liked。　Yet　she　felt　very　strange；　in

liked　formality。　She　felt　she　did　not　produce　the　right　effect。

She　was　not　effective：　she　was　not　beautiful：　she　was　nothing。

Even　before　Skrebensky　she　felt　unimportant；　almost　inferior。　He

could　take　his　part　very　well　with　the　rest。

He　and　she　went　out　into　the　night。　There　was　a　moon　behind

clouds；　shedding　a　diffused　light；　gleaming　now　and　again　in

bits　of　smoky　mother…of…pearl。　So　they　walked　together　on　the

wet；　ribbed　sands　near　the　sea；　hearing　the　run　of　the　long；

heavy　waves；　that　ma
