Come home, she said softly, and as she spoke she dropped her arm and began to gather up her loosened hair. Yes, yes, he said as if in a dream.

The late December sun was already giving warning of his approaching rising by cold yellowish-grey streaks in the sky as Pollux and his companion entered the gate, which had long since been opened for the workmen.
