"DidnтАЩt you want to go to bed, Milly?" said Barry as he heard the door open behind him."Milly is going
to bed," declared the visitor.



The sound of his deep voice made Barry turn around, startled. Only a shadow was visible in the
darkness, but the voice had given the intruder away. This voice was unforgettable for Hiram Barry.



"Adams," he moaned.



"Homer G. Adams," completed the visitor. "I hope that I did not come at an inopportune time."



"No, of course not, Adams. My house is open any time of the day for you. You know that certainly."



"The things that I do know are far back in the past. But I do remember them, and that is the important
thing. DonтАЩt you agree, Barry?"
 "You always had a very bright mind, Adams. You could have made a lot of money with your memory
alone. I have always admired you and, of course, also envied you a little bit."



"And donтАЩt forget the hatred, Barry. I will accept admiration, and I donтАЩt mind even those that envy
me, for vanity feeds on the envy of others. But hatred is I a dangerous thing, as you can see in my
example. I do not like people to hate me."



"What do you want, Adams? DonтАЩt talk about hatred that goes back so far. I donтАЩt hate you now."



"Of course you donтАЩt hate me any more. One can forget such things in fourteen years. I donтАЩt need to
kill you any more, for your hatred has turned to fear, and with that I will gladly let you go on living.
Perhaps this will pay back some of the debt you owe me. ItтАЩs a terrible thing to have to live with fear."



"Did you come here to tell me that? Have you been thinking of hatred during all these fourteen years? I
canтАЩt imagine that, for you would have perished thinking of nothing but hatred, and besides, wasnтАЩt it
twenty years, if IтАЩm not mistaken?"
