For what she lacked in appearance, Sheila compensated in gossip. That day Gerald had brought her to this excessively careful house, where she had felt very much alone and very unlike herself. You have shown an almost feverish anxiety to eliminate from your personal appearance all that reminded me of you —when we first met. Dare we look back upon the darkened vista, and, in imagination retrace the path we have trod? With how many vain hopes is it shaded! with how many good resolutions, never fulfilled, is it paved!

Has our success in life been commensurate with our own desires—with the anticipations formed of us by others? Or, are we not blighted in heart, as in ambition? Has not the loved one been estranged by doubt, or snatched from us by the cold hand of death? Is not the goal, towards which we pressed, further off than ever—the prospect before us cheerless as the blank behind?—Enough of this. No, no! Not now!"
