I find you at this moment just as true and whole as you always were, despite the fact that you avoid me, crouch before me, barricade yourself against me.” Daniel’s breast heaved as if in the throes of a convulsion. He said falteringly: “First let that old confidence return and grow.
Together they were going back into their own, but the clutch of the new was tight on both, and while neither could have explained, there was the same thought in each mind, the same nameless dissatisfaction in each heart, and both were in the throes of the same new birth.

Perlmutter, I let you know next week."
