SHE WAS QUITE SURE that she had eluded her pursuer, but still she left the cab two blocks from her destination. Walking, she could tell for sure whether he still followed her; these last days of having him always behind her had created a new instinct, a sort of antenna which reached out to sense him, so that she could tell without turning her head, without seeing the pudgy brown figure. Such an unlikely figure to cause so much fear! Not one she had ever seen before; she had no name for the undistinguished little man. Sometimes for a wild moment she thought she would simply turn in her tracks and wait for him to come up to her, and then say, " What's your name, and why are you following me? " But he would not come up to her, of course. He would melt into a straggle of unconcerned strollers on the street, or turn into a convenient bar, or dawdle over a newspaper. And certainly if she accosted him, he would look bland and surprised and innocent. How she knew that was immaterial; she did know it. His namelessness had become an obsession with her. Absurd to think she would feel better if she knew his name. That wouldn't, after all, tell why he followed her. There had to be a reason for such persistent attention. If she could only think of a reason she would feel better, even without knowing his name. If she could think of a reason, that would lead her to his name, almost certainly. |
