It has become a reality, dear Harry. I feel very strange a curious sensation in the throat, just as if I was going to cry, and yet it is exactly what I have been longing for. You know better than any one how I had set my heart on going to sea, and yet I thought that I should never manage it.
Lorna was moved with equal longing towards the country and country ways; and she spoke quite as much of the glistening dew as she did of the smell of our oven. And here let me mention although the two are quite distinct and different that both the dew and the bread of Exmoor may be sought, whether high or low, but never found elsewhere.
At last all was quiet in the wide palace halls and then her thoughts turned to her distant home and her poor sister Tachot, longing for her and for the beautiful Bartja, who, Croesus had told her, was going to-morrow to the war and possibly to death. At last she fell asleep, overcome by the fatigue of the journey and dreaming of her future husband. She saw him on his black charger.
She could see the longing in Uncle Leverett's face and hear his wistful voice there in the dark. He had come to the ship and given her the first greeting and brought her home.

"If it does go on, it will be fiercer than ever." "Very likely. If our fellows set the pace there'll be no dawdling. America's white hot." "And you'll be in it?" "I hope so," he said quietly. There was a pause. Then he, looking down upon her, felt a sudden and passionate joy invade him joy which was also longing longing irresistible.
Things that were mercifully kept from me then, mere abject terror of death, and of that kind of death the disgrace the crowds all came on me, and with them, the misery all in one of those nine months; the loathing of those eternal narrow waved white walls, the sense of their closing in, the sickening of their sameness, the longing for a voice, the other horror of thinking myself guilty.

During the first day, Allister and his wife said, thankfully, to each other, "How calm she is!" The next day they said it a little anxiously. Then they watched for the reaction, feeling sure it must come, and longing that it should be over.
