In the drawing, he was sitting beside a window. She had incorporated his whole body, facing her with his legs stretched out. One hand on the window sill and the other on his knee. His face was clearly delineated with the jagged line which I described earlier, and on the window sill there was a rock of the sort that one takes home from the River, even though one knows it should be left where it was.

I always want to take the river home with me and thus the occasional small rocks in my pockets.
