She often cried in secret, long and bitter tears. She didn't know whether the man she loved was alive or dead. And as the despairing days passed, the thought came to her more and more, especially at twilight, that she was tied to a dead man. She should either forget him or die herself. It was really impossible to go on with the life she was living. Impossible! Forget him, no matter what it cost庸orget him! But he could not be forgotten, that was the trouble. "Yes, yes, yes, I made the very same mistake!" Margarita would say as she sat by the stove and stared at the fire which had been lit in memory of the fire that burned when he was writing Pontius Pilate. --------------------------------- "Why did I leave him that night? Why? I must have been crazy! ・鈞・ 聿・濵 ・ ⅳ 淲胛? ﾇ璞褌? ﾂ裝・ 趺 砒銛・・ I came back the next day, just as I said I would, but it was already too late. ﾟ 粢瑰・浯 蓿鵫 蒟犱, 濵, ・・髜襌琿・ 濵 磊・ ・・鈕濵.
