The Shadow of the Lynx
“To do so would be to keep the memory of the days with me for ever. One forgets so quickly;impressions become hazy; one’s mind distorts, colouring events to make them as one would like them to have been, high-lighting what one wants to preserve, pushing away what one would rather not remember. So I would keep a sort of journal and write down everything truthfully and unvarnished just as i^i took place.What prompted me to do this was that afternoon’s adventure, the day Stirling came. It was ridic...ulous really. He had come briefly into my life and there was no reason why he should appear again. It was absurd to feel this urge to write down what had happened. It was an ordinary enough incident. I knew his name was Stirling and the girl’s was l^ora because they had addressed each other so—perhaps only once, but my mind had been receptive. I was more than usually alert, so I remembered every detail.Her scarf had blown over the wall and they came to retrieve it. I had a notion that the incident was contrived.MoreLess
