now love at first sight strikes few times in one 's life , but blaise felt pierced by a light behind her eyes and by a perception of a reciprocal giving way of that light in her expression upon her seeing him , and he thought back and wondered if he might know her , from when his family used to live down here , from his attending the parish school before the move to the suburbs , and one possible girl stuck out in his mind and so he thought maybe he did and in any case he resolved to find out because he had been so transfixed and he did not want to leave without knowing if he might see her again .
