When I was released from prison <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My father ordered me to stay <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In his Potiers house <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I had brought shame on my family <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I reluctantly agreed to this isolation <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was weeping <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having been robbed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By a couple of Arabs <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took her back to the house <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To help her recover from the ordeal <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She seemed thankful for her advantage <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We spoke but were mainly silent <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I suggested the blue room <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it faced the early sun <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The girl was still disturbed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As she thought her attackers <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Might return although distant <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I assured her that I would stay alert <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following morning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I walked along the passage <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That led to my unused bedroom <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was sitting on her dappled sheets <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having recently bathed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I expected an embarrassment or worse <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But she just smiled and wished me the morning <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later we took tea on the terrace <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had made arrangements <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With her parents to pick her up <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When she was gone I soon realised <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That I had not asked her name <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I called her Julia <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
