AUNT ISABEL: The Oh, you mean Why, simply say you felt sorry for the Hindu students because they seemed rather alone; that you hadn't realized what they were, hadn't thought out what you were saying MADELINE: And that I'm sorry and will never do it again. AUNT ISABEL: I don't know that you need say that. It would be gracious, I think, to indicate it. MADELINE: I'm sorry you had the cake made.
I had not attached many to me; many of those I had won were gone. Was there a home for me? How could I return to the house in Chicago? To what there? I had come from Italy to America; from a city of memories and spiritual richnesses to the tumult of New York. Above all I had found heaven in Isabel and lost it.
