〃At　night。〃

Count　Greffi　smiled　and　turned　the　glass　with　his　fingers。　〃I　had　expected　to　bee　more　devout　as　I　grow　older　but　somehow　I　havent；〃　he　said。　〃It　is　a　great　pity。〃

〃Would　you　like　to　live　after　death？〃　I　asked　and　instantly　felt　a　fool　to　mention　death。　But　he　did　not　mind　the　word。

〃It　would　depend　on　the　life。　This　life　is　very　pleasant。　I　would　like　to　live　forever；〃　he　smiled。　〃I　very　nearly　have。〃

We　were　sitting　in　the　deep　leather　chairs；　the　champagne　in　the　ice…bucket　and　our　glasses　on　the　table　between　us。

〃If　you　ever　live　to　be　as　old　as　I　am　you　will　find　many　things　strange。〃

〃You　never　seem　old。〃

〃It　is　the　body　that　is　old。　Sometimes　I　am　afraid　I　will　break　off　a　finger　as　one　breaks　a　stick　of　chalk。　And　the　spirit　is　no　older　and　not　much　wiser。〃

〃You　are　wise。〃

〃No；　that　is　the　great　fallacy；　the　wisdom　of　old　men。　They　do　not　grow　wise。　They　grow　careful。〃

〃Perhaps　that　is　wisdom。〃

〃It　is　a　very　unattractive　wisdom。　What　do　you　value　most？〃

〃Some　one　I　love。〃

〃With　me　it　is　the　same。　That　is　not　wisdom。　Do　you　value　life？〃

〃Yes。〃

〃So　do　I。　Because　it　is　all　I　have。　And　to　give　birthday　parties；〃　he　laughed。　〃You　are　probably　wiser　than　I　am。　You　do　not　give　birthday　parties。〃

We　both　drank　the　wine。

〃What　do　you　think　of　the　war　really？〃　I　asked。

〃I　think　it　is　stupid。〃

〃Who　will　win　it？〃

〃Italy。〃

〃Why？〃

〃They　are　a　younger　nation。〃

〃Do　younger　nations　always　win　wars？〃

〃They　are　apt　to　for　a　time。〃

〃Then　what　happens？〃

〃They　bee　older　nations。〃

〃You　said　you　were　not　wise。〃

〃Dear　boy；　that　is　not　wisdom。　That　is　cynicism。〃

〃It　sounds　very　wise　to　me。〃

〃Its　not　particularly。　I　could　quote　you　the　examples　on　the　other　side。　But　it　is　not　bad。　Have　we　finished　the　champagne？〃

〃Almost。〃

〃Should　we　drink　some　more？　Then　I　must　dress。〃

〃Perhaps　wed　better　not　now。〃

〃You　are　sure　you　dont　want　more？〃

〃Yes。〃　He　stood　up。

〃I　hope　you　will　be　very　fortunate　and　very　happy　and　very；　very　healthy。〃

〃Thank　you。　And　I　hope　you　will　live　foreve
