"I knew you would come to us; I have been expecting you. The first time I saw you I said to myself: 'Here is one who bears a burden; the world can not satisfy the cravings of a heart like that; he will surrender it some day." Having been there before, though in "Retreat" only, he entered at once into the life of the Brotherhood.
