I was cold and -tiff. A thin fine ram had begun to fall Indeed, It was al most more like mist than rain, for It made the street lamps blurred and dim and left little beads of moisture on my clothes. The night was very still, not a soul could I see, and. though from afar there came the gathered undertone of the scattered night traffic of a great city, the only sound In my road was that made when the misty rain, gather ing on the leaves, fell with intermittent ' plops" on the earth.
