scent of roses came from her�察�the mere contact of anything so fresh and 

pure was a delight。 He put his arm around her�察�and all the first ardor of 

passion   came   back   to   him  again�察  �he   remembered   how   he   had   longed   to 

win this Diana�察�and how thoroughly she was won。 

     ;It is you who do me good�察─�said she。            ;O Philip�察�sail as slowly as you 

can。; But he only sailed farther�察�instead of more slowly�察�gliding in and out 

among   the   rocky   islands   in   the   light   north   wind�察  �which�察  �for   a   wonder�察�

lasted all that day��dappling the bare hills of the Isle of Shadows with a 

shifting   beauty。     The   tide   was   in   and   brimming�察  �the   fishing´boats   were 

busy�察�white gulls soared and clattered round them�察�and heavy cormorants 

flapped     away    as   they   neared    the  rocks。    Beneath      the   boat   the  soft 

multitudinous   jellyfishes   waved   their   fringed   pendants�察  �or   glittered   with 

tremulous gold along their pink�察�translucent sides。 Long lines and streaks 

of    paler   blue   lay   smoothly      along    the  enamelled      surface�察   �the   low�察�

amethystine   hills   lay   couched   beyond   them�察  �and   little   clouds   stretched 

themselves in lazy length above the beautiful expanse。 They reached the 

ruined   fort   at   last�察  �and   Philip�察  �surrendering   Hope   to   others�察  �was   himself 

besieged by a joyous group。 

     As you stand upon the crumbling parapet of old Fort Louis�察�you feel 

yourself poised   in middle   air�察  �the sea´birds   soar   and swoop   around   you�察�

the white surf lashes the rocks far below�察�the white vessels come and go�察�

the   water   is   around   you   on   all   sides   but   one�察  �and   spreads   its   pale   blue 

beauty     up   the   lovely   bay�察  �or�察 �in   deeper    tints�察 �southward      towards     the 

horizon line。 I know of no ruin in America which nature has so resumed�察�it 

seems a part of the living rock�察�you cannot imagine it away。 

     It is a single round�察�low tower�察�shaped like the tomb of Cacilia Metella。 

But   its   stately   position   makes   it   rank   with   the   vast   sisterhood   of   wave´ 

washed strongholds�察�it might be King Arthur's Cornish Tyntagel�察�it might 

be ;the teocallis tower; of Tuloom。               As you gaze down from its height�察�

all things that float upon the ocean seem equalized。 Look at the crowded 

life on yonder frigate�察�coming in full´sailed before the steady sea´breeze。 

To furl that heavy canvas�察�a hundred men cluster like bees upon the yards�察�

yet to us upon this height it is all but a plaything for the eyes�察�and we turn 

with equal interest from that thronged floating citadel to some lonely boy 

in his skiff。 

     Yonder   there   sail   to   the   ocean�察  �beating   wearily   to   windward�察  �a   few 

slow     vessels。    Inward      come    jubilant    white   schooners�察    �wing´and´wing。 

There are fishing´smacks towing their boats behind them like a family of 

children�察�and there are slender yachts that bear only their own light burden。 

Once from this height I saw the whole yacht squadron round Point Judith�察�

and   glide   in   like   a   flock   of   land´bound   sea´birds�察  �and   above   them�察  �yet 

more snowy and with softer curves�察�pressed onward the white squadrons 

of the sky。 

     Within�察  �the   tower   is   full   of   debris�察  �now   disintegrated   into   one   solid 

mass�察�and covered with vegetation。              You can lie on the blossoming clover�察�

where   the   bees   hum   and   the   crickets   chirp   around   you�察  �and   can   look 

through the arch which frames its own fair picture。                 In the foreground lies 



                                                 36

the steep slope overgrown with bayberry and gay with thistle blooms�察�then 

the   little   winding   cove   with   its   bordering   cliffs�察  �and   the   rough   pastures 

with their grazing sheep beyond。           Or�察�ascending the parapet�察�you can look 

across the bay to the men making hay picturesquely on far´off lawns�察�or to 

the   cannon   on   the   outer   works   of   Fort   Adams�察  �looking   like   vast   black 

insects that have crawled forth to die。 

     Here   our   young   people   spent   the   day�察  �some   sketched�察  �some   played 

croquet�察�some bathed in rocky inlets where the kingfisher screamed above 

them�察�some   rowed   to   little craggy  isles   for   wild roses�察  �some   fished�察  �and 

then were taught by the boatmen to cook their fish in novel island ways。 

The morning grew more and more cloudless�察�and then in the afternoon a 

fog came and went again�察�marching by with its white armies�察�soon met and 

annihilated by a rainbow。 

     The     conversation     that   day    was    very   gay    and    incoherent��little 

fragments of all manner of things�察�science�察�sentiment�察�everything�此                   �Like 

a distracted dictionary�察─�Kate said。           At last this lively maiden got Philip 

away from the rest�察�and began to cross´question him。 

     ;Tell me�察─�she said�察 �about Emilia's Swiss lover。 She shuddered when 

she spoke of him。        Was he so very bad�拭─�

     ;Not at all�察─�was the answer。          ;You had false impressions of him。 He 

was a handsome�察�manly fellow�察�a little over´sentimental。 He had travelled�察�

and   had   been   a   merchant's   clerk   in   Paris   and   London。    Then   he   came 

back�察�and became a boatman on the lake�察�some said�察�for love of her。; 

     ;Did she love him�拭─�

     ;Passionately�察�as she thought。; 

     ;Did he love her much�拭─�

     ;I suppose so。; 

     ;Then why did she stop loving him�拭─�

     ;She does not hate him�拭─�

     ;No�察─  �said   Kate�察   �that   is   what   surprises   me。  Lovers   hate�察  �or   those 

who have been lovers。          She is only indifferent。         Philip�察�she had wound 

silk   upon   a   torn   piece   of   his   carte´de´visite�察  �and   did   not   know   it   till   I 

showed it to her。 Even then she did not care。;

     ;Such is woman� ─�said Philip。 

     ;Nonsense�察─  �said   Kate。      ;She   had   seen   somebody   whom   she   loved 

better�察  �and   she   still   loves   that   somebody。   Who   was   it�拭   �She   had   not 

been   introduced   into   society。     Were   there   any   superior   men   among   her 

teachers�拭  �She   is   just   the   girl   to   fall   in   love   with   her   teacher�察  �at   least   in 

Europe�察�where they are the only men one sees。; 

     ;There     were    some    very   superior    men    among     them�察─   �said   Philip。 

;Professor Schirmer has a European reputation�察�he wears blue spectacles 

and a maroon wig。; 

     ;Do not talk so�察─�said Kate。         ;I tell you�察�Emilia is not changeable�察�like 

you�察  �sir。  She   is   passionate   and   constant。   She   would   have   married   that 

man or died for him。          You may think that your sage counsels restrained 

her�察  �but   they   did   not�察  �it   was   that   she   loved   some   one   else。 Tell   me 

honestly。 Do   you not know that there is somebody in Europe whom she 

loves to distraction�拭─�

     ;I do not know it�察─�said Philip。 

     ;Of course you do not KNOW it�察─�returned the questioner。 ;Do you not 

think it�拭─�

     ;I have no reason to believe it。; 

     ;That has nothing to do with it�察─�said Kate。             ;Things that we believe 

without   any   reason   have   a   great   deal   more   weight   with   us。   Do   you   not 

believe it�拭─�

     ;No�察─�said Philip�察�point´blank。 

     ;It is very strange�察─�mused Kate。           ;Of course you do not know much 

about it。 She may have misled you�察�but I am sure that neither you nor any 

one else could have cured her of a passion�察�especially an unreasonable one�察�

without putting another in its place。          If you did it without that�察�you are a 

magician�察�as Hope once called you。            Philip�察�I am afraid of you。; 

     ;There we sympathize�察─�said Phil。            ;I am sometimes afraid of myself�察�

but I discover within half an hour what a very commonplace land harmless 

person I am。; 

     Meantime Emilia found herself beside her sister�察�who was sketching。 

After watching Hope for a time in silence�察�she began to question her。

     ;Tell me what you have been doing in all these years�察─�she said。 

     ;O�察�I have been at school�察─�said Hope。           ;First I went through the High 

School�察�then I stayed out of school a year�察�and stud
