The Governor went through the entrance and down the steps into the afternoon sunlight. When he came to his car he reached in his pocket for the keys. His hand touched his watch. He pulled it out and saw it was running, the sweep-second hand revolving inexorably. He slipped it on his wrist and unlocked the car door.
Before getting in he glanced up and down the street and back at the hotel. He had never seen it or the town at any time in his life.
THE END
