The man grasped a wheel,<br>The woman spoke out sharply, 'Whoa, stand still!'<br>'I saw it just as plain as a white plate,'<br>She said, 'as the light on the dashboard ran<br>Along the bushes at the roadside-a man's face.<br>You must have seen it too.'<br>'I didn't see it.<br>Are you sure--'<br>'Yes, I'm sure!'<br>'-it was a face?'<br>'Joel, I'll have to look. I can't go in,<br>I can't, and leave a thing like that unsettled.<br>Doors locked and curtains drawn will make no difference.<br>I always have felt strange when we came home<br>To the dark house after so long an absence,<br>And the key rattled loudly into place<br>Seemed to warn someone to be getting out<br>At one door as we entered at another.<br>What if I'm right, and someone all the time-<br>Don't hold my arm!'<br>'I say it's someone passing.'<br>'You speak as if this were a travelled road.<br>You forget where we are. What is beyond<br>That he'd be going to or coming from<br>At such an hour of night, and on foot too.<br>What was he standing still for in the bushes?'<br>'It's not so very late-it's only dark.<br>There's more in it than you're inclined to say.<br>Did he look like--?'<br>'He looked like anyone.<br>I'll never rest to-night unless I know.<br>Give me the lantern.'<br>'You don't want the lantern.'<br>She pushed past him and got it for herself.<br>'You're not to come,' she said. 'This is my business.<br>If the time's come to face it, I'm the one<br>To put it the right way. He'd never dare-<br>Listen! He kicked a stone. Hear that, hear that!<br>He's coming towards us. Joel, go in-please.<br>Hark!-I don't hear him now. But please go in.'<br>'In the first place you can't make me believe it's--'<br>'It is-or someone else he's sent to watch.<br>And now's the time to have it out with him<br>While we know definitely where he is.<br>Let him get off and he'll be everywhere<br>Around us, looking out of trees and bushes<br>Till I sha'n't dare to set a foot outdoors.<br>And I can't stand it. Joel, let me go!'<br>'But it's nonsense to think he'd care enough.'<br>'You mean you couldn't understand his caring.<br>Oh, but you see he hadn't had enough-<br>Joel, I won't-I won't-I promise you.<br>We mustn't say hard things. You mustn't either.'<br>'I'll be the one, if anybody goes!<br>But you give him the advantage with this light.<br>What couldn't he do to us standing here!<br>And if to see was what he wanted, why<br>He has seen all there was to see and gone.'<br>He appeared to forget to keep his hold,<br>But advanced with her as she crossed the grass.<br>'What do you want?' she cried to all the dark.<br>She stretched up tall to overlook the light<br>That hung in both hands hot against her skirt.<br>'There's no one; so you're wrong,' he said.<br>'There is.-<br>What do you want?' she cried, and then herself<br>Was startled when an answer really came.<br>'Nothing.' It came from well along the road.<br>She reached a hand to Joel for support:<br>The smell of scorching woollen made her faint.<br>'What are you doing round this house at night?'<br>'Nothing.' A pause: there seemed no more to say.<br>And then the voice again: 'You seem afraid.<br>I saw by the way you whipped up the horse.<br>I'll just come forward in the lantern light<br>And let you see.'<br>'Yes, do.-Joel, go back!'<br>She stood her ground against the noisy steps<br>That came on, but her body rocked a little.<br>'You see,' the voice said.<br>'Oh.' She looked and looked.<br>'You don't see-I've a child here by the hand.'<br>'What's a child doing at this time of night--?'<br>'Out walking. Every child should have the memory<br>Of at least one long-after-bedtime walk.<br>What, son?'<br>'Then I should think you'd try to find<br>Somewhere to walk--'<br>'The highway as it happens-<br>We're stopping for the fortnight down at Dean's.'<br>'But if that's all-Joel-you realize-<br>You won't think anything. You understand?<br>You understand that we have to be careful.<br>This is a very, very lonely place.<br>Joel!' She spoke as if she couldn't turn.<br>The swinging lantern lengthened to the ground,<br>It touched, it struck it, clattered and went out.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Robert+Frost">Robert Frost</a><div class=q>
