They were standing before the door of the ladies' entrance to the hotel by this time, and the young man lifted his hat gravely. "Your wish shall certainly be respected," he said with courtesy, "yet that does not necessarily mean that our friendship is to end here." Her face became transfigured by a sudden smile, and she impulsively extended her hand.
This hope was not unmixed with the glow of proud delight the joyous maiden surprise that she was chosen by the man whom her admiration had chosen. All Dorothea's passion was transfused through a mind struggling towards an ideal life; the radiance of her transfigured girlhood fell on the first object that came within its level.
The master never touched him; month after month passed by, and he was never thought of; the other paints had all their turn of fair fortune, and went out into the world to great academies and mighty palaces, transfigured and rejoicing in a thousand beautiful shapes and services.
She was obliged to look up as she watched Alexina's subtly transfigured face, fascinated. It made her feel even her physical insignificance; the more as she had lost the flesh that had given her short stature a certain majesty. "Oh, life is unjust, unjust."

And now, therefore, to her excessive delight, she espied him transfigured like herself, weeping and laughing, restored to God again.
They won't care how absurd it is they'll want to crush him! And he he'll never say a word for himself to explain never! Because he couldn't without telling all my story. And that do you suppose Richard Meynell would ever do that? to any poor human soul that had trusted him?"
