A shadow came through the window, the bright white sun had suddenly disappeared.
I went into Max’s room,” I whispered hastily.Has anything happened? He is asleep, or absorbed, I don’t know what; I once saw him like that before.
“But you didn’t wake him?” she asked quickly. “No. He did not hear me. I came out immediately. Mother Eve, tell me, what is the matter with him?
She passed her hand over her forehead. “Don’t worry, Sinclair, nothing has happened to him. He has retired into himself. It will not last long.
She got up and went out into the garden, although it had begun to rain. I felt that I must not follow her.
So I walked up and down in the hall, inhaling the scent of the hyacinths which dulled my senses, and gazing at my picture of the bird over the door.
I felt oppressively the odd shadow which seemed to fill the house that morning.
What was it? What had happened? Mother Eve came back soon.
Rain drops hung in her dark hair. She sat down in her easy chair. She was very tired.
I went to her, bent down and kissed the raindrops in her hair.
Her eyes were bright and soft, but the raindrops tasted like tears.
“Shall I go and see how he is?” I asked in a whisper.
