Atdtda22: [43.7i] Dispirited feelings, 628

[Paul Nightingale]

[628.4-7] Yashmeen caught up with him at the café they’d been in the other
evening. He hadn’t exactly got back to sleep nor seen much point in shaving.
“Come. Let us walk Der Wall.” It was a peaceful morning, a breeze ruffled
the leaves of the lindens.

Previously, on 618: “They went in a café where they were unlikely to be
interrupted.” However, 43.1iii ends mid-scene; 43.2 then brings “the spit of
Foley Walker ...” etc (619), leading to Kit’s incarceration. So the scene
has been interrupted and is only now continued.


[628.26-27] Not for the first time, he had the dispirited feeling that she
was expecting something from him he couldn’t even name, let alone provide.

Why “dispirited feeling”? Cf. the end of 43.1iii, Kit thinking of “the
carefree girl sashaying in through the smoke of that Bierstube” (619).
