"It is I, " said a peasant's voice. "There is so much smoke, I thoughtyou were on fire. I was on the lower hill, so I ran up--is all rightwith you?" "All is right with me. " "But what is the smoke?" "I bake my bread. " "It will be burnt to cinders. " "I make it, and I eat it. Whose matter is it?" The peasant went away muttering, with slow unwilling feet.
Bruno watched the fire.
After a brief time its frenzy spent itself; the flames died down; thereddened wood grew pale, and began to change to a...sh; the oaken stock wasall consumed, the silver was melted and fused into shapeless lumps, thesteel tube alone kept shape unchanged, but it was blackened and chokedup with ashes, and without beauty or use.
Bruno watched the fire die down into a great mound of dull grey andbrown charred wood.
Then he went out, and drew the door behind him, and locked it.
The last red rose dropped, withered by the heat.
* * * There is always song somewhere. As the wine waggon creaks down the hill, the waggoner will chant to the corn that grows upon either side of him.
