     begins taking off her shoes and stockings。  WELLWYN goes to the
     door into the house�察�opens it�察�and listens with a sort of
     stealthy casualness。  He returns whistling�察�but not out loud。

     bare toes to the flames。  She shuffles them back under her
     skirt。

     takes up her wet stockings。

WELLWYN。  No�察�no�察�there's a nice warm pair of slippers。  ��Seeing the
steam rising from her。�А �Why�察�you're wet all over。  Here�察�wait a
little��

     ��He crosses to the door into the house�察�and after stealthy
     listening�察�steps through。  The Girl�察�like a cat�察�steals back to
     the warmth of the fire。  WELLWYN returns with a candle�察�a
     canary´coloured bath gown�察�and two blankets。��

WELLWYN。  Now then�  。�He precedes her towards the door of the model's
room。�А �Hsssh�  。�He opens the door and holds up the candle to show
her the room。�А �Will it do�拭 �There's a couch。  You'll find some
washing things。  Make yourself quite at home。  See��

     ��The Girl�察�perfectly dumb�察�passes through with her basketand
     her shoes and stockings。  WELLWYN hands her the candle��
     blankets�察�and bath gown。

WELLWYN。  Have a good sleep�察�child�  �Forget that you're alive��

table�察�cuts a large slice of cake�察�knocks on the door�察�and hands it
in。�А �Chow´chow�  。�Then�察�as he walks away�察�he sights the opposite
door。�А �Welldamn it�察�what could I have done�拭 �Not a farthing on me��
��He goes to the street door to shut it�察�but first opens it wide to
confirm himself in his hospitality。�А �Night like this��

     ��A sputter of snow is blown in his face。  A voice says��
     ;Monsieur�察�pardon� ─ �WELLWYN recoils spasmodically。  A figure
     moves from the lamp´post to the doorway。  He is seen to be young
     and to have ragged clothes。  He speaks again�此 �You do not
     remember me�察�Monsieur�拭 �My name is Ferrandit was in Paris�察�in
     the Champs´Elyseesby the fountain 。  。  。  。  When you came to
     the door�察�MonsieurI am not made of iron 。  。  。  。  Tenez��
     here is your card I have never lost it。; He holds out to WELLWYN
     an old and dirty wing card。  As inch by inch he has advanced
     into the doorway�察�the light from within falls on him�察�a tall
     gaunt young pagan with fair hair and reddish golden stubble of
     beard�察�a long ironical nose a little to one side�察�and large��
     grey�察�rather prominent eyes。  There is a certain grace in his
     figure and movements�察�his clothes are nearly dropping off him。

WELLWYN。  ��Yielding to a pleasant memory。�А �Ah�  �yes。  By the
fountain。  I was sitting there�察�and you came and ate a roll�察�and
drank the water。

FERRAND。  ��With faint eagerness。�А �My breakfast。  I was in poverty
veree bad off。  You gave me ten francs。  I thought I had a little the
right ��WELLWYN makes a movement of disconcertion�А �seeing you said
that if I came to England

WELLWYN。  Um�  �And so you've come��

FERRAND。  It was time that I consolidated my fortunes�察�Monsieur。

WELLWYN。  And youhave

     ��He stops embarrassed。  FERRAND。  ��Shrugging his ragged
     shoulders。�А �One is not yet Rothschild。

WELLWYN。  ��Sympathetically。�А �No。  ��Yielding to memory。�А �We talked
philosophy。

FERRAND。  I have not yet changed my opinion。  We other vagabonds�察�we
are exploited by the bourgeois。  This is always my idea�察�Monsieur。

WELLWYN。  Yesnot quite the general view�察�perhaps�  �Well
��Heartily。�А �Come in�  �Very glad to see you again。

FERRAND。  ��Brushing his arms over his eyes。�А�Pardon�察�Monsieuryour
goodnessI am a little weak。  ��He opens his coat�察�and shows a belt
drawn very tight over his ragged shirt。�А �I tighten him one hole for
each meal�察�during two days now。  That gives you courage。

WELLWYN。  ��With cooing sounds�察�pouring out tea�察�and adding rum。�А�Have
some of this。  It'll buck you up。  ��He watches the young man drink。

FERRAND。  ��Becoming a size larger。�А �Sometimes I think that I will
never succeed to dominate my life�察�Monsieurthough I have no vices��
except that I guard always the aspiration to achieve success。  But I
will not roll myself under the machine of existence to gain a nothing
every day。  I must find with what to fly a little。

WELLWYN。  ��Delicately。�А�Yes�察�yesI remember�察�you found it difficult
to stay long in any particularyes。

FERRAND。  ��Proudly。�А �In one little corner�拭 �NoMonsieurnever��
That is not in my character。  I must see life。

WELLWYN。  Quite�察�quite�  �Have some cake��

     ��He cuts cake。��

FERRAND。  In your country they say you cannot eat the cake and have
it。  But one must always try�察�Monsieur�察�one must never be content。
��Refusing the cake。�А�'Grand merci'�察�but for the moment I have no
stomachI have lost my stomach now for two days。  If I could smoke��
Monsieur�  。�He makes the gesture of smoking。��

WELLWYN。  Rather�  。�Handing his tobacco pouch。�А �Roll yourself one。

FERRAND。  ��Rapidly rolling a cigarette。�А �If I had not found you��
MonsieurI would have been a little hole in the river to´night
I was so discouraged。  ��He inhales and puffs
