He sank down on the grass, sitting there cross-legged, with his back to the house, motionless as<br />

some carved Buddha… He put his hands to the grass, one on each side, palms downwards, and<br />

pressed; it was just warm still-the grass, barely moist, soft and firm and friendly. Perhaps Megan<br />

was at her window, looking out at the blossom, thinking of him! The piano tinkled on, the stars<br />

of poetry, discovering her favourites, and telling her his own with a pleasing sense of superiourity.<br />
