Whatever his relationship with Serena had become, he was content never to mention It; It waa their own affair now, his and Serenas, and needed no apologies, no justification. From Vics confused thoughts there emerged surprisingly one concrete fact: she loathed Serena; she would have been glad to hear of Serena's violent and sudden death. And this made it increasingly hard to endure Quentin's simple revelations concerning her neighbor. "Shes always been just a little girl," Quentin would say.

It would be good to stay in bed on such a morning, she thought still caught in dreams what morning waa this, anyway? Good heavens, this waa Christmas eve with everything to do . . .

The garden below the window lay bleak and bare under a fine frosting of white; a delicate powdering at frost covered the bricks of the walks and lay like lace on the soaked bronze red of the leaf pile under the oaks. She splashed her face with cold water, brushed her hair, looked at the ghostly vision in the mirror. After a while she went downstairs, to ait holding her coffee cup at the level of her mouth, an elbow resting on the table, her eyes far away. She could eat nothing, but she managed a few swallows of coffee; managed a question to the maid: Did the doctor have hia breakfast, Anna? "No. ma'am.
