remember when you asked me if i thought that in hopeless cases of suffering people should be released i was wrong � and it is curly who has altered my opinion he proves the contrary � hope out of despair � and god � worked a miracle � i turned away that she might not see my eyes � might not judge condemn me i said abruptly did you ever paint anyone but me with your fingers never she said and coloured i have to thank you she said abruptly for giving me through lord and lady and lady the most delightful time a girl ever had confided to me the other day i said that he was glad of the friendship between you and because now he was able to get a little of his wife s society oh said there was room on the merry go round of fashion for us all lady declared so she reached down and pulled me up beside her and merrily we ride with the p not far behind us and i am left out in the cold i said while you and merrily ride she shook her head the i see you everywhere she said � just a man of the world racing at playing foolish games at � amusing yourself as other men of your class and yet i thought how little she knew that one look from her eyes one word from her lips on a certain christmas night would have saved me from becoming what i now was � then i said quietly i heard hood ask you to marry him last night she started where at � at dinner the band was playing loudly � and i hear every word in a noise is it not taking rather a mean advantage of others she said gravely i find it very useful at times � and she looked at me quickly with that look of inner vision that i feared what are you doing she said almost in a whisper at times you have a reckless look of of indifference that me � where are you going to heaven through i said harshly ask she frowned as at a answer but was too proud to press the point then said at queen anne s yours and lady s lives almost seem to each other if i met you both as strangers i should say you were husband and wife � perfect comrades with a hundred ties and only one aim between you we have the same aim i said but again shook her head and placed on the an exquisite study of as if to what it was i really liked i did not know you were painting her i said with a sudden of discomfort yet had met often it was indeed impossible to go to any well known house or place without that very lovely person � and had distinguished by a most particular cordiality so that the painting of this portrait was not so very strange had dealt tenderly with her bringing out rather her rare loveliness and the helpless of her type than its hidden wickedness � in the bosom of her white gown was tucked a bunch of that matched her eyes it is a good name for her � said and added quite unconscious i believe of thinking aloud but little love is sweeter lit love � the way she said it expressed the whole book of love with hot colour and scent of flowers pressed close between � yet there was pain in her eyes yes and hunger the who calls her that i said sharply all the blood in my face was silent looking at me and i began to understand things better now i think it was said music is the literature of the heart it where speech ends but s eyes always said more than any music i ever heard do not tell me i said quietly i will go straight to her and have it out why should you do that she said quietly it was an accident � the letter fell out of her pocket at my feet the very first time i met her in square � as i picked it up to give it her i could not help seeing the beginning and the date of last year i said and she answered coldly no � of this � and this very month after i came she was very pale � somehow i knew then that not her proud how the mood of passionate desire in which i so abruptly left her in america had passed or that i had constructed for myself a life in which love and she had no part had her half so much as this one little note to which had a date � that after i came was the greatest admission i had yet won from s lips possibly i said quietly you regard me as at queen anne s of s type who when a fresh appeared on the scene copied his love letters out of les at that moment tea was brought and the man arranged it near the window where we could look out on the gay scene below this is almost as good as one of your in new york i said as the man departed to fetch cakes and my voice was harsh that is why we came here she replied love it you are very quiet this afternoon i said as she poured out tea no crowd she smiled she was very pale with a wonderful new light in her eyes it is such a wonderful of life to be rude to people you don t want so i gave myself a treat � and denied myself to but you and lady nothing could have shown more clearly how entirely i was dismissed in the character of a lover yet often it had
