And now, the pleasure-seeker's brief pastime in that quarter being ended, the lasting sorrows of his victims having begun; his own career apparently not altered from its current, their lives diverted rudely into dark channels and one of them stopped short for ever: was the matter to rest so? You may easily guess what my answer was to this question.
It is not only that we are so made that nearly all our sensations of pleasure depend on novelty, the keenness wearing off if a sensation is repeated. The reason lies in a fact which militates against the Pleasure-seeker's foundation idea: the fact that we are made for something else than pleasure, failing which we remain unsatisfied.
Beaches are much the same the world over, and there is no need to describe this one Silver Beach, I think I heard it called except to say that it is broad, hard, and, for a pleasure-seeker's purpose, endless. It is backed by low sand-hills covered with impenetrable scrub, oak and palmetto, beyond which is a dense growth of short-leaved pines.
