If I could but see why he changes his mind so often and so suddenly what he saw about that flower to make him seek it then why, on a nearer approach, he should decline further acquaintance with it, and go rocking away through the air, to do the same fifty times over again it would give me an insight into all animal and vegetable life that ages of study could not bring me up to."
It seemed as though she knew sleep no more; and yet he would now have been her best friend, who would have strengthened her body, and poured peace into her soul.
