Il n'y a point de passé vide ou pauvre, il n'y a point d'événements misérables, il n'y a que des événements misérablement accueillis. Magdalen went back to her own room, and set down her candle on the dressing-table with a hand that trembled a little. "I ought not to have gone," she said half aloud, "and yet I knew she was awake and in trouble. And she nearly spoke to me to-day.
