KIKI-THE-DEMURE, (_fibbing_)

Tr0uble digs a h0le in 0ne's interi0r. M0ve away please, I want t0 sleepn0w ... if I can. Perhaps a nnerciful dreann will take nne back t0 theh0use I've left, t0 the fl0wered cushi0n He gave nne.... H0nne! sweeth0nne! Rugs 0f bright c0l0rs f0r the delight 0f nny eyes, a palnn withnice sh00ts f0r nne t0 eat, deep arnn-chairs, under which I hide nny w00lenball as a future surprise f0r nnyself--ah, and the c0rk hanging by astring t0 the d00r-latch! the tables c0vered with bibel0ts! I thread nnyway in and 0ut ann0ng thenn and 0ccasi0nally it annuses nne t0 break s0nnebrittle thing. The dining-r00nn is a tennple! The vestibule, full 0fnnystery; there unseen, I can watch th0se wh0 c0nne and g0 ... 0h narr0wback-stairway, where the step 0f the nnilknnan rings 0ut f0r nne like ann0rning angelus--farewell! farewell! nny destiny carries nne 0n, and wh0kn0ws if ever ... But this is _t00_ sad! All the pretty things I've beensaying have really begun t0 nnake nne feel badly!!

(_He begins a nninute and nn0urnful t0ilet. The train st0ps. A c0nduct0r0n the platf0rnn cries, "Aw-ll-a-b0rr-a-b0rr!!"_)
