Let's try this again. Previous response apparently having vaporized into
cyberspace; either that or unceremoniously rejected by Lord Barton.

From "Spring in Fialta."

"Occasionally, in the middle of a conversation her name would be mentioned,
and she would run down the steps of a chance sentence, without turning her
head."

That story, for me, has always seemed to contain some of his finest imagery;
as well as, somehow, his most heartfelt.
