Chapter 1.XII. Why does one feel so different at night? Why is it so exciting to be awake when everybody else is asleep? Late--it is very late! And yet every moment you feel more and more wakeful, as though you were slowly, almost with every breath, waking up into a new, wonderful, far more thrilling and exciting world than the daylight one. And what is this queer sensation that you're a conspirator? Lightly, stealthily you move about your room. You take something off the dressing-table and put it down again without a sound.英文原著 · 《The Garden Party》
