Mother Anastasia would not play cards , but we amused ourselves with various sprightly social games , in which the lady who preferred to be called a Person showed a vivacious though sometimes nipping wit . I had no opportunity for further private talk with Mother Anastasia , nor did I desire one . I wished to interest her in my love for Sylvia , but not to bore her with it . The next day , at about eleven o'clock , the Sand Lady and the Shell Man walked over to our little bay , where they found Walkirk and me fencing upon the level beach . `` Stop your duel , gentlemen , '' said the lady . `` I come to give you the farewells of the Interpolation . She was sorry she could not do this herself , but she went away very early this morning . ''
