Already, half an hour ago Alcibiades and Yaxis had departed with their pushcarts, one to the north and one to the south, calling antiphonally as they went, in clear, high voices that came fainter and fainter to Achilles among his fruit.

Yaxis’s eyes were gloomy with dread, and his quick movements were subdued as he went about the business of the shop, carrying the trays of fruit to the stall outside and arranging the fruit under the striped awning.

Yaxis had been lonely--but now the little laughs seemed to stir softly in the close rooms and wake something happy there.

But one day Yaxis, resting on the parapet that overlooked the lake, his cart drawn a little to one side, his hat off and his face taking in the breeze, saw a strange sight.

Yaxis watched the car as it flashed and floated in the sun and was gone--down the roadway--around the distant corner--out of sight, with its faint triumphant “honk-honk-honk!” trailing behind.
