Nicky said he had to shoot the tur

has started fishing for turtles."

APPOINTMENT
I was afraid to come. I feared to
meet
A stranger, dreaded the appaising
* glance,
The questioning to which my
tongue, no lance, *i
Would not reply with phrases quick
and neat.
But promptly I wae at your door;
Made, somehow, their determined
my feet
swift advance
To the chair across the desk from
you - no chance
hide - oddly, I did not dream
retreat!
Between the door and chair some
thing occurred . . .
My tongue forgot its heaviness, my
blurred
Obscure idea grew clear. As though
to lend
A strength to me, you smiled. I
was aware
In the most transient interval, of
prayer
Fulfilled, of answer to my need, a
friend.
