| ALFIE: "I could have dropped on the spot with the shock. All I was expecting to see was....Well, come to think of it, I don't rightly know what I was expecting to see....Certainly not this perfectly formed...being. I half expected it to cry out. It didn't, of course. It couldn't have done. It could never have had any life in it. I mean, not a proper life of its own. No, I suppose not. Still...it must have had some life, of course. And as it lay there so quiet, so still....it quite touch me........" |
