Yet it was not for want of thought that Grondy was walking in that singular position, with his body bent forward, and the one ear turned down to wards the ground, and the other up. No, no! For Grondy was trying to think all that he could; and all that he could do he could make nothing of it. Croudy had seen and heard wonderful things!
