内容简介

TChapterIIE BIG OCEAN LINER, snow white, with two red and blackslanting funnels, lay at anchor, attracting sea gulls. The seawas calm, the lens of the sky was set at infinity. The coastline--low green hills and the dim outlines of stone houses lying inpockets of mist--was in three pale French colors, a brocade bor-rowed from some museum. The pink was daybreak. So beauti-ful, and no one to see it. And on C Deck: Something had happened but what he did notknow, and it might he years before he found out, and then itmight be too late to do anything about it Something waswrong, but it was more than the mechanism of dreaming couldcope with. His eyelids opened and he saw that he was on ship-board, and what was wrong was that he was not being lifted bythe berth under him or cradled unpleasantly from side to side.
