The Journal of a Disappointed Man
·
W. N. P. Barbellion
64
She
switched
on
the
light,
went
out
swiftly
into
the
passage,
and
meeting
him
conducted
him
to
her
office,
while
I
as
swiftly
put
on
overcoat
and
scarf,
and
slipped
out
through
the
open
door,
stumbling
over
his
bicycle,
but
of
course
not
stopping
to
pick
it
up.
Later
she
telephoned
to
say
it
was
all
right.
Very
relieved!...
She
recalls
Richepin's
La
Glu.
December
21.
She
is
a
fine
sedative.
Her
movements
are
a
pleasant
adagio,
her
voice
piano
to
pianissimo,
her
conversation
breaks
off
in
thrilling
aposiopoeses.
An
awful
comedy
this
morning--for
as
soon
as
I
was
securely
"gagged"
the
dentist
went
out
of
the
room.
She
approached,
leered
at
me
helpless,
and
said
provokingly,
"Oh!
you
do
look
funny."
Minx.
On
returning
he
said
to
her,
"Would
you
like
to
hold
his
hand?"
She:
"Oh!
not
just
now."
And
they
grinned
at
one
another
and
at
me
waiting
to
be
tortured.
December
23.
...
On
the
Station
waited
for
an
hour
for
the
train.
Gave
her
a
box
of
sweets
and
the
Bystander.
We
walked
up
the
platform
to
extreme
end
in
the
dark
and
kissed!
But
it
was
very
windy
and
cold.
(I
noticed
that!)
So
we
entered
an
empty
luggage
guard's
van
on
rail
beside
platform
left
there
by
shunters.
Here
we
were
out
of
the
wind
and
far
better
off.
But
a
shunter
came
along
and
turned
us
out.
She
gave
me
a
silver
match-box.
But
I
believe
for
various
reasons
that
it
is
one
of
her
own
and
not
a
new
one.
Said
"Good-bye."
