|
18:23

PROOFS: After a few minutes of speculative anguish in the airless cubicle, Grippes saw that Poche had no inkling whatever about the flats. |
Deviations |
|

41:43
|

Deviations |
|
42:10
|
PROOFS: Chided by Grippes, Prism had been defensive, cold, said that no letters had come in. "One, surely?" said Grippes. "Yes, I thought that must be you," Prism said. |

PROOFS: "You would have to marry a Frenchwoman and have at least five male children," said Grippes, through the scarf. |
