Mino THE DAYS went by, and she received no sign. Was he going to ignore her, was he going to take no further notice of her secret? A dreary¹ weight of anxiety and acrid² bitterness settled on her.

Then, sure enough, there came a note from him, asking if she would come to tea with Gudrun, to his rooms in town.

`I don't want Gudrun to be there, because I want him to say something more to me. So I shan't tell Gudrun anything about it, and I shall go alone. Then I shall know.'

She found herself sitting on the tram-car, mounting up the hill going out of the town, to the place where he had his lodging⁴. She seemed to have passed into a kind of dream world, absolved⁵ from the conditions of actuality. She watched the sordid⁶ streets of the town go by beneath her, as if she were a spirit disconnected from the material universe. What had it all to do with her? She was palpitating and formless within the flux⁷ of the ghost life. She could not consider any more, what anybody would say of her or think about her. People had passed out of her range, she was absolved. She had fallen strange and dim, out of the sheath of the material life, as a berry falls from the only world it has ever known, down out of the sheath on to the real unknown.

Birkin was standing⁸ in the middle of the room, when she was shown in by the landlady⁹. He too was moved outside himself. She saw him
