abandoned himself hopelessly; fatalistically to his destiny。 This was what 

came of action; of doing something decisive。              If only he'd just let things

never    again    would    he  do   anything    decisive。    Camlet;     West    Bowlby;

barometer that hung in the porch; the needle stirred perceptibly to the left。 

A sudden smile lighted up his lugubrious face。

    〃'It sinks and I am ready to depart;'〃 he said; quoting Landor with an 

exquisite aptness。   He looked quickly round from face to face。       Nobody 

had noticed。   He climbed into the hearse。
