In the turmoil of smoke and dust, his poor strivings, his upward gropings out of the dark; his glad inspirations, his thrilling hopes, must come to an obscure end.
He hesitated, glancing at her with troubled eyes, and then replied "I thought, Miss Starbrow, that when you heard that I was trying to live down the past trying very hard and not unsuccessfully as I imagined it would have made some difference in your feelings towards me. To win your forgiveness for the wrong I did you has been the one motive I have had for all my strivings since I last saw you.
