1 But Weena was a pleasant substitute.
2 Weena's fears and her fatigue grew upon her.
3 So presently I left them, meaning to go back to Weena, and see what I could get from her.
4 Then I remember Weena kissing my hands and ears, and the voices of others among the Eloi.
5 Weena had put this into my head by some at first incomprehensible remarks about the Dark Nights.
6 Everything save that little disk above was profoundly dark, and when I looked up again Weena had disappeared.
7 Then I tried talk, and found that her name was Weena, which, though I don't know what it meant, somehow seemed appropriate enough.
8 "Good-bye, little Weena," I said, kissing her; and then putting her down, I began to feel over the parapet for the climbing hooks.
9 But the jest was unsatisfying, and I was thinking of these figures all the morning, until Weena's rescue drove them out of my head.
10 My pockets had always puzzled Weena, but at the last she had concluded that they were an eccentric kind of vase for floral decoration.
11 Glancing upward, I saw the aperture, a small blue disk, in which a star was visible, while little Weena's head showed as a round black projection.
12 When I saw them I ceased abruptly to trouble about the Morlocks, and was only concerned in banishing these signs of the human inheritance from Weena's eyes.
13 As the hush of evening crept over the world and we proceeded over the hill crest towards Wimbledon, Weena grew tired and wanted to return to the house of grey stone.
14 Yet I was still such a blockhead that I missed the lesson of that fear, and in spite of Weena's distress I insisted upon sleeping away from these slumbering multitudes.
15 Weena had been hugely delighted when I began to carry her, but after a while she desired me to let her down, and ran along by the side of me, occasionally darting off on either hand to pick flowers to stick in my pockets.
16 Then the tall pinnacles of the Palace of Green Porcelain and the polished gleam of its walls came back to my memory; and in the evening, taking Weena like a child upon my shoulder, I went up the hills towards the south-west.
17 But the day was growing late, and I had come upon the sight of the place after a long and tiring circuit; so I resolved to hold over the adventure for the following day, and I returned to the welcome and the caresses of little Weena.
