duties swam grandly before him. It was a large
dream, in which, for the time, he was not conscious of those troubles
which, yesterday, had clenched his hands and knotted his forehead.
He had come a step higher in the way of life, and into his spirit had
flowed a new and sobered power. His heart was sore, but his mind was
lifted up. The fatal wrangle of the pumas there below, the sound of it,
would be in his ears for ever, but he had come above it; the searching
vigour of the sun entered into his bones.
He knew that he was going back to England--to ample work and strong
days, but he did not know that he was going alone. He did not know
that Andree was gone forever; that she had found her true place: in his
undying memory.
So intent was he, that at first he did not see a boat making into the
bay towards him.
