middle-aged blind man and a
middle-aged woman who live together
on a wonderful plantation in Sweet
Rocket, in Virginia. The mans for
bears owned the plantation for many
generations, but lost it after the Civil
War. and the woman's father, who had
been overseer for the mans father,
bought it,
The former overseer lost the planta =
tion in his turn, and ultimately
Richard Linden, the blind man, was
able to buy back his ancestral home.
Meanwhile Marget Land, the ex-over-
seer's daughter, had managed to work
her way around the world and back to
Richmond, but what she really wanted
all the time was to return to Sweet
Rocket The homecoming of Richard
Linden gave her the opportunity to go
back to the old plantation as the blind
owners secretary.
The story begins at the point where
Richard Linden and Marget Land are
back at Sweet Rocket and in won
derful communion OF souls. Their
teamwork is perfect that they seem
like one person. It hardly seems pos
siblo that they can help getting mar
ried. The only question is which one
will do the proposing, or whether they
Will simply melt together. That is to
say, that is the question for an ordi-
narily practical pcrson-one whose feet
occasionally touch the earth. But is
it so for Richard and Marget? Nay.
For them the last word is:
"The | that says Of every living
thing it is l. says it and means it
and understands it and proceeds to
live from it, says 1t of the total OBJ
jective. and so takes the objective up
into the subject-that | is over the
verge of the old into the new."
True enough We don't dispute it.
But we venture to say that twenty
years before, when Richard Linden had
his sight and Marget Land was only
lately out of school, neither one of
them could have got away with that
kind Of thing and stayed long in the
