THE BOROUGH
It was not that he concealed anything from her. He told her quite frankly, in that first real conversation they had together--on the little secluded bench in the South London park--about all the morbid sufferings of his years in America and his final mental collapse.
He even indicated to her--while the sound of grass-mowing came to them over the rain-wet tulips--some of the most secret causes of this event; his savage reaction, for instance, against the circle he was thrown into there; his unhappy habit of deadly introspection; his aching nostalgia for things less murderously new and raw.
He explained how his mental illness had taken so dangerous, so unlooked for a shape, that it was only by the merest chance he had escaped long incarceration.
No; it was not that he concealed anything. It was rather that she experienced a remote uneasy feeling that, say what he might,--and in a certain sense he said too much rather than too little--she did not really understand him.
