Then the beloved village reappears, in the biograph of the mind, embellished, transfigured by the glow of those first impressions; and the mental image, superior to the reality, stands out in amazingly clear relief. The past, the far-off past, was only yesterday; we see it, we touch it.
"Please pretend you're delighted to marry me," I mumbled. "Can't you see by my face how glad I am to get you?" "So should I be to get you, if I were the fairy prince," said he, in so kind a voice it was a pity the biograph couldn't snap it.
