FORE:There was the crunching of heavy feet up above, on the gravel. It came to them both, even to her, that for them to be seen there together would be final. There would be no explaining it away. Cairness thought of her. She thought of her husband. It would ruin him and his life.

FORE:It was failure, flat failure. The officers knew it, and the general knew it. It was the indefinite prolongation of the troubles.
