And at five o'clock in the ranch house back in the Valley, Eleanor was lying in her room with her face buried in Wayland's note, praying as only the young pray, with the worst and the best of their nature in the prayer; for where such love comes, all goes into the incense of the fire that goes up from the altar the best and the worst of the inmost heart: an apotheosis of "give-me" and an utter abandonment of "let-me-give."
