Chapter XXVII
And next day there was one more revealing incident that helped, yet also hindered him, as he moved along his _via dolorosa_. For every step he took away from her seemed also to bring him nearer. They followed opposing curves of a circle. They separated ever more widely, back to back, yet were approaching each other at the same time. They would meet face to face.
