As Johnny Blair approached number 318, Bancroft Road, a little before seven o'clock that bland March evening, he bore within his hardy breast certain delicacies, remorses, doubts, and revulsions. But all these were transcended by his overmastering determination to see this superb and long-worshipped maiden near at hand.
For here was his dearest, his most sacred treasure, all that remained to him of the long-worshipped outer world the world of the vague past and of his distant ancestors the world that Stern and Beatrice had really known and seen, yet which to him was only "all a wonder and a wild desire." "Lay the book upon the bench," he ordered. "I will unwrap it!"
Already Ivan, high-hearted, knew that the long-worshipped image of the young Nathalie was gone, forever, from the chapel of his mind; and that, already, in the empty niche, stood the shadow of another form: one less fairy-like, less bewitching; but more suited to the reverence of reason, and worthier of the homage he found himself still so ready to outpour.
