Excerpt: ... had got so much happiness. 'You have slept, ' she said. 'I am glad, for you needed rest.' She did not know what to say, and there was a pause before she spoke again, during which Greif did not move. Unconsciously he had taken the manner of one ill, and lay back in his seat, his eyes half closed, his hands resting upon the arms of the chair, making no effort and only hoping that none would be required of him.

'I must say it now, ' he answered firmly. 'To-morrow I shall not be able to talk much, and it may happen that we shall never have another opportunity.' 'Never?' 'Perhaps never. It is to be good-bye.
