Willies check was still in the pocket. It was still Sunday.

    "What are you thinking about?" Edward asked Pia and she said she was thinking about Willies hand. Willie had hurt his hand in a mae in a factory in Markaryd. The check was for pen?sation.

    Edward turned away from the window. Edward received a cable from his wife in Maine. "Many happy birthdays," the cable said. He was thirty-four. His father was in the hospital. His mother was in the hospital. Pia wore white plastic boots with her brown coat. When Edward inhaled sharply -- a sharp intake of breath -- they could hear a peculiar noise in his chest. Edward inhaled sharply. Pia heard the noise. She looked up. "When will you go to the doctor?" "I have to get something to read," Edward said. "Something in En?glish." They walked to Markaryd. Pia wore a white plastic hat. At the train station they bought a Life magazih a gold-painted girl on the cover. "Shall we eat something?" Edward asked. Pia said no.

    Pia and Edward walked the streets of Amster?dam. They were hungry. Edward wao go to bed with Pia but she didnt feel like it. "Theres something wrong," he said. "The wood isnt catg."  "Its too wet," she said, "perhaps." "I know its too wet," Edward said. He went out to the wood barn and broke up more wood. He wore a leather glove on his right hand. Pia told Edward that she had been raped once, when she was twenty-two, ianical Gardens. "The man that raptured me has a shop by the Round Tower. Still." Edward walked out of the room. Pia looked after him placidly.  Edward reehe room. "How would you like to have some Southern fried chi?" he asked. "Its the most marvellous-tasting thing in the world. Tomorrow Ill make some. Dont say rapture.  In English its rape. What did you do about it?" "Nothing," Pia said. Pia wreen rings, dresses with green sleeves, a gree skirt.

    Edut flour in a paper bag and then the pieces of chi, which had been dipped in milk. Then he shook the paper bag violently. He stood behind Pia and tickled her. Then he hugged her tightly. But she didnt want to go to bed. Edward decided that he would never go to bed with Pia again. The teleph. It was for Fru Schmidt. Edward explaihat Fru Schmidt was in Rome, that s<tt>.９9liｂ.t>he would return in three months, that he, Edward, was renting the flat from Fru Schmidt, that he would be happy to make a note of the callers name, and that he would be delighted to call this o the attention of Fru Schmidt wheurned, from Rome, in three months.

Ed?ward read two books he had already read. He didnt remember that he had read them until he reached the last page of each. Then>藏书网</a> he read four paperback mysteries by Ross Maald. They were excellent. He felt slightly sick. Pia walked about with her hands clasped together in front of her chest, her shoulders bent. &quot;Are you cold?&quot; Ed?ward asked. &quot;What are you thinking about?&quot; he asked her, and she said she was thinking about Amboise, where she had trived to get locked in a chateau after visiting hours. She was also think?ing, she said, about the green-and-gold wooden horses they had seen in Amsterdam. &quot;I would like enormously to have one for this flat,&quot; she said. &quot;Even though the flat is not ours.&quot; Edward asked Pia if she felt like making love now. Pia said no.

    It was Sunday. Edward went to the bakery and bought bread. Then he bought milk. Then he bought cheese and the Sunday neer, which he couldnt read. Pia was asleep. Edward made coffee for himself and looked at the pictures in the neer. Pia woke up and groped her way to the bathroom. She vomited. Edward bought Pia a white dress. Pia made herself a necklace of white glass and red wood beads. Edward worried about his drinking. Would there be enough gin? Enough ice? He went out to the kit and looked at the bottle of Gordons gin. Two inches of gin.

Edward and Pia climbed into the Mercedes-Benz taxi. &quot;Take us to the Opera if you will, please,&quot; Edward said to the German taxi-driver in En?glish. &quot;Ich verstehe nicht,&quot; the driver said. Edward looked at Pias belly. It was getting larger, all right. Edaid the driver. Pia wondered if the Ger?mans were as loud in Germany as they were abroad. Edward and Pia listened for loudness.
