Summary
Perhaps Wilson will not be satiated until he has held all of creation in his hands, and known its weight, and traced a slim finger along its outermost edges.
They are locked together, he thinks, like twin frigates in an ever-constricting gyre. This is the centripetal effect of desire.

Summary
They are perfectly alone on the sea, the Terra Nova winding through a belt of half-formed sea ice. The days grow long in the warmth of the first December. Here, the sun never sets; just dips below the horizon, and so the joy could go on forever. Cherry hopes it does. No other day could ever be so filled with pleasures, with gold and green and lilac.

Summary
There is a whole litany of apologies and compliments– could these just be formalities?– and yes, yes, Wilson writes, I would very much like to come to lunch with you. Friday next, in fact, at 1’ o’clock, which is all too soon.
I really don’t know how to deal with a man like you, Wilson had written, in his lovely looping script. Scott sets the letter down on the desk, lest his palms grow damp.
He decides it means nothing because that is easier than attempting to decipher what it all might mean to Wilson, with his clear and canny mind. He picks up the pen. Friday next, at 1’ o’ clock.

Summary
“Do you think it was selfish of me?”
Wilson’s levity does not abate. “To come here? Or to bring me with you?”
The rhythm of the conversation is elliptical, the path well-trodden. Perhaps both of them are waiting for something to break.

Summary
She reaches for his flask but he holds it tight to his heart. He grabs her questing hands in one of his own.
“Do you remember what I told you before I left?”
“To be a good girl, and you would come back and marry me.”
He tightens his hand. It almost hurts.
