He was alone. A girl stood before him, gazing out to sea. She seemed like a strange and beautiful bird. She was alon and still, gazing out to sea; she felt his presence and his eyes,worshipping her; her eyes turned to him. Long, long , she gazed at him and then quietly turned towards the sea , gently stirring the water with her foot , The noise broke the silence. A faint flame trembled on her cheek He turned away from her suddenly and set off across the sand.His cheeks were aflame.
