A child, a schoolgirl. I looked at her 鈥� she was tall, but with no figure to speak of, about fifteen or sixteen, with long, dark hands and no gloves. Like as not she had looked up ?sop in the dictionary that afternoon, to have it ready.
I am expecting my uniform,鈥� I said.
鈥榊ou are cold,鈥� he said, and took my hand. A little after he said: 鈥楬ow cold you are!鈥� and put his arm round me.
We went out.
You must not think . . . 鈥� she stammered out.
