FIRST PROOFClark: Rubber stamp.THE LIGHTHOUSEfather, standing up very stiff and straight on aplatform in the city (to get there they must dineearly and drive eternally), proved conclusively(but they could none of them listen) how there isno God; one must be brave; for there is no God,he said, while rows and rows of the ugliest peoplein the world gaped up at him, in that greenishhall, hung with brown pictures of great men. Ifshe had been there now, what would she havedone? he wondered. Laughed? Even she mighthave found it difficult to tell the truth. He couldonly see her twitching her cloak round her, feelingthe cold. But she was dead by that time. Thewar was beginning. Andrew was killed. Pruedied. Still his father lectured. Even when histhehall was full of fog, and only sprinkled withelderly women whose heads rose and fell, likehens sipping, as they listened and wrote down,about being brave, and there is no God, still helectured.

Often they quarrelled among themselves after-wards, what could one say to him? How couldone appease him? For he wanted praise. Hewanted sympathy. He wanted them to go withhim and listen to him, and to say how good itwas; how it was the greatest success. Rose said it,forced herself to say it, but she said it wronglyand he was angry; he was depressed.
