That Sunday, from six o’clock in the evening, it was a Viennese orchestra that played The season was late for an outdoor concert, already leaves were drifting on to the grass stage — here and there one turned over, crepitating as though in the act of dying, and during the music some more fell.

The end of the road was defintive she for the last time turned, looked, with her big lips parted, then was with startling completeness gone He stood in a sort of aftermath of suspicion, not yet sure she might not have picked his pocket, then walked the other way.

El final del camino era definitivo. ella por última vez dio vuelta, miró, con sus labios grandes separados, después estaba con la plenitud asombrosa ida. Él estaba parado en una clase de secuela de la suspicacia, todavía no seguro que ella no pudo haber cogido su bolsillo, después se fue al otro lado.

STELLA RODNEY stood at a window of her flat, playing with the blind-cord She made a loop, through which she looked at the street, or coiled the cord round a finger, then swung the finger, making the acorn tap on the pane The harsh black-out blind, Its roller hidden under the pretty pelmet, was pulled some way down, throwing a nightlike shadow across this end of the ceiling, the blind of the other window was, on the other hand, right up She did not correct the irregularity, perhaps because the effect of it, mechant^ shpshod, was in some way part of her mood.

STELLA RODNEY estaba junto a una ventana de su piso, jugando con el cordón de la persiana.

 He searched, with his eyes, the room, the built-in cupboards, the satin low bed, her face reflected in the dazzling mirror. He said ‘Well, that was that You always sound so surprised’

‘Only when I am,’ she replied, turning ‘That was my son, on leave ’

‘Oho’

‘He’s just got to London He’s at the station He’s on his way round here ’

Buscó, con la mirada, la habitación, los armarios empotrados, la cama baja de satén, su rostro reflejado en el espejo deslumbrante. Él dijo: «Bueno, era eso. Siempre pareces tan sorprendida».

Sólo cuando lo estoy», respondió ella, volteándose. “Era mi hijo, de permiso”.

'Oho'

'Acaba de llegar a Londres. Está en la estación. Viene hacia aquí'
