ked from the waist upwards, with her cheek pillowed onher hand and one dark lock tumbling across her eyes. Herbreast rose and fell slowly and regularly.‘Julia.’No answer.‘Julia, are you awake?’No answer. She was asleep. He shut the book, put it carefullyon the floor, lay down, and pulled the coverlet overboth of them.He had still, he reflected, not learned the ultimate secret.He understood HOW; he did not understand WHY. ChapterI, like Chapter III, had not actually told him anythingthat he did not know, it had merely systematized the knowledgethat he possessed already. But after reading it he knewbetter than before that he was not mad. Being in a minority,even a minority of one, did not make you mad. There wastruth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the trutheven against the whole world, you were not mad. A yellowbeam from the sinking sun slanted in through the windowand fell across the pillow. He shut his eyes. The sun on hisface and the girl’s smooth body touching his own gave hima strong, sleepy, confident feeling. He was safe, everythingwas all right. He fell asleep murmuring ‘Sanity is not statistical,’with the feeling that this remark contained in it aprofound wisdom.*****When he woke it was with the sensation of having sleptfor a long time, but a glance at the old-fashioned clock toldhim that it was only twenty-thirty. He lay dozing for a while;
then the usual deep-lunged singing struck up from the yardbelow:‘It was only an ‘opeless fancy,It passed like an Ipril dye,But a look an’ a word an’ the dreams they stirredThey ‘ave stolen my ‘eart awye!’The driveling song seemed to have kept its popularity.You still heard it all over the place. It had outlived the HateSong. Julia woke at the sound, stretched herself luxuriously,and got out of bed.‘I’m hungry,’ she said. ‘Let’s make some more coffee.Damn! The stove’s gone out and the water’s cold.’ She pickedthe stove up and shook it. ‘There’s no oil in it.’‘We can get some from old Charrington, I expect.’‘The funny thing is I made sure it was full. I’m going toput my clothes on,’ she added. ‘It seems to have got colder.’Winston also got up and dressed himself. The indefatigablevoice sang on:‘They sye that time ‘eals all things,They sye you can always forget;But the smiles an’ the tears acrorss the yearsThey twist my ‘eart-strings yet!’As he fastened the belt of his overalls he strolled acrossto the window. The sun must have gone down behind thehouses; it was not shining into the yard any longer. The flag-
