'Now,' he said, when the envelopes were sealed and addressed, 'shall we
post them here, both together? I know Jackie will say, "Here's a
coincidence!" when he receives them in all their identity. Shall we let
him say it, or not?'
'I don't care,' she said.
'No--?' he said, pondering.
'It doesn't matter, does it?' she said.
'Yes,' he replied. 'Their imaginations shall not work on us. I'll post
yours here, mine after. I cannot be implicated in their imaginings.'
He looked at her with his strange, non-human singleness.
'Yes, you are right,' she said.
She lifted her face to him, all shining and open. It was as if he might
enter straight into the source of her radiance. His face became a
little distracted.
'Shall we go?' he said.
'As you like,' she replied.
They were soon out of the little town, and running through the uneven
lanes of the country. Ursula nestled near him, into his constant
warmth, and watched the pale-lit revelation racing ahead, the visible
night.
