So wildly impressed was l that when
a few minutes later we slowed up I

a moments delay it went on and left

singular mental condition.

probably have been killed.
From hat day to this I have treas
ured an image in my heart-the woman
real, spiritual or creation of my own

with a little girl who died. Did I dis

the music of the car wheels dropping
from the end of one rail and jumping
on to another. A favorite occupation
of mine on a train has always been to
imagine some n swimming along be

grain that often line the track. On
this occasion we were passing numer
GUS such fields, and my image of fancy
was swimming along Justify. But as
the twilight faded and objects were

the rattle of the train.

l could see the people of the other
train. some reading, some Longing
