But he was young. Indeed to men of fifty, men just twice his age, he seemed a mere1 boy and incapable2 of grief. He was so slim, and his limbs were so loose, and his hair so fair, and his gestures often so naïve, that few of the mature people who saw him daily striding up and down Trafalgar Road could have believed him to be acquainted with sorrow like their sorrows. The next morning, as it were in justification3 of these maturer people, his youth arose and fought with the malady4 in him, and, if it did not conquer, it was not defeated. On the previous night, after hours of hesitation5, he had suddenly walked forth6 and gone down Oak Street, and pushed open the garden gates of the Orgreaves, and gazed at the façade of the house—not at her window, because that was at the side—and it was all dark. The Orgreaves had gone to bed: he had expected it. Even this perfectly7 futile8 reconnaissance had calmed him. While dressing9 in the bleak10 sunrise he had looked at the oval lawn of the Orgreaves’ garden, and had seen Johnnie idly kicking a football on it. Johnnie had probably spent the evening with her; and it was nothing to Johnnie! She was there, somewhere between him and Johnnie, within fifty yards of both of them, mysterious and withdrawn11 as ever, busy at something or other. And it was naught
