r hearts with envy, the women
rich in home, husband, and children, were allowing pigmy trials to
obstruct the sun, squandering their joy, wasting the precious days. And
at the other end of the world that young girl who was Piers Rendall's
wife, the mother of his child, she too, perchance, was vexing herself
over many things, bemoaning her trials, so dulled by custom that she no
longer appreciated her joys.

The great, the supreme secret of life, came home to Vanna with
overwhelming force as she walked through the quiet streets. Not
without, but within, must man look for happiness; in himself, the divine
soul of him, or nowhere lies his joy. All outer possessions are as
naught--the baubles, the playthings of a child, which, once gathered,
grow tame and lose their gilt.

Vanna had known great grief, and had travelled on bleeding feet through
the desert of loneliness, but from the rough journey she had reaped her
spoil. Her eyes were opened; she saw the riches of this world at their
true worth; her heart was filled with an immense, encompassing love. It
was impossible that she should ever again be lonely. She thanked God,
and took courage.
