Chapter VIII
The blue night of the lake was embroidered with black tree forms. Silver drops sprinkled from the lifted oars. Somewhere in the gloom of the shore there was a dog, who from time to time raised his sad voice to the stars. "But still, the life of the studios----" began the girl. Hawker scoffed.
