I recall also the passage in Amor Proximi where it is said that the earth will again be placed in Solis punctum. I have mentioned the vedantic teachings, whose agreement with alchemy has also been noticed by Hitchcock.
Preston's, and how strange was this promenade down the fashionable boulevard where he had so often walked with Miss Hitchcock on bright Sundays, bowing at every step to the gayly dressed groups of acquaintances. He was taking the stroll for the last time, something told him, on this hot, stifling July afternoon, between the rows of deserted houses.
But it was hard to escape caste prejudices, to live with those who prize ease and yet keep one's own ideals and opinions. If this woman had the courage to leave her people, to open a new life with him elsewhere he smiled at the picture of Miss Hitchcock conjured up by the idea. The streets were filthy as always, and the sultry west wind was sweeping the filth down the street canons.
Yet this reflection that in some way it was complicated, that he could not act impulsively and naturally, angered him. He was shrewd enough to know that Lindsay's patronage was due, not to the fact that he was the cleverest surgeon he had, but to the fact that, well the daughter of Alexander Hitchcock thought kindly of him.

They were about to be transferred to the Old Jersey, when Hitchcock went into the chains and dropped his hat into the water. On his return he begged for a boat to recover it, and being earnestly seconded by Lieutenant Palmer, the officer of the deck finally consented, ordering a guard to accompany the "damned rebels." They were a long time in getting the boat off.
