Move, if the game is once again at the street corner. This young man prepares to carve the dog, but awakens within a cloud of twisting and scattering smoke. He falls down into a heap by the iron gate of the garden. Here stands a wealthy lady, proud and arrogant, her mouth rosy. But she throws away every custom of propriety and puts aside the shining veil, like giving the lonely young man a youthful smile.
