Not everybody was taking joy of sunrises and losing himself in the delicate contentment of the sunset.

Catherine was sitting by the window gazing out into a dawn world of sun which reminded her of the summer sunrises at Petites Dalles. She looked the shadow of herself. Spiritually, too, she was the shadow of herself. Her life was no longer her own: she lived in him in every look of those eyes in every movement of that wasted frame.
