FIRST EDITIONS: Everything first editions stone-still, like the moon and its light and the shadows. Prince Andrew, too, dared not stir, for fear of betraying his unintentional presence. "Sonya! Sonya!" he again heard the first speaker. "Oh, how can you sleep? Only look how glorious it is! Ah, how glorious! Do wake up, Sonya!" she said almost with tears in her voice. "There never, never was such a lovely night before!" Sonya made some reluctant reply. "Do just come and see what a moon!... Oh, how lovely! Come here.... Darling, sweetheart, come here!
