If he looked forward to his return to civil life at the war's end, he did so with equanimity, though that return meant a life in soiled overalls amid the hum and clang of a factory shop. He had none of that divine discontent which is half the equipment of Scottish youth. Rather did he possess ambition's surest antidote in a mild and kindly cynicism which stripped endeavor of its illusions.
Alas! that ever I was born, for that I am that Winfrida who, for ambition's sake and wicked pride, did a most vile thing O my lord Beltane, as thou art strong, be pitiful as thou art deeply wronged, be greatly merciful." "How how mean you?" said Beltane, slow-speaking and breathing deep. "Lord 'twas I O, how may I tell it?
On that auspicious night, supremely grac'd With chosen guests, the pride of liberal taste, Not in contentious heat, nor madd'ning strife, Not with the busy ills, nor cares of life, We'll waste the fleeting hours far happier themes Shall claim each thought and chase ambition's dreams. Each beauty that sublimity can boast He best shall tell, who still unites them most.
V. To thy unspotted shrine I bow: Attend thy modest suppliant's vow, That breathes no wild desires; But, taught by thy unerring rules, To shun the fruitless wish of fools, To nobler views aspires.

Paler she grew with every reproach deeper was the self-conviction with every angry syllable. She wept until he left her, and then she wrote to Michael.
I was not blind to the share that vanity had in her mood nor to ambition's part in it, but I saw also and exulted in her tenderness.
