Emily stared at him, a hot flush suddenly staining the pallor ofher tortured little face.
The old creative fire seems tohave burned out into ashes and I cannot rekindle it. What youve done is on a level with Stovepipe Town. All day I revelledin the loveliness of the wonderful white bridal world. IIEmily went up the hill path to keep tryst with Dean at theDisappointed House.

She would not have dared to speak lest SOMETHING shouldanswer her. You will not have my love and it has driven everythingelse out.
Thats whyhes never fallen in love with any one, you know. Ice-cold thing, did you everreally care for anything or any creature except that pen of yours? YetEmily felt that it had drawn them together again after longmisunderstanding. Emilyfelt herself alone in a hostile world.

If you had to deal a mortal blow why try tolighten it?
You knowperfectly well that finding you here is the crown of the morningfor me. What did onebook more or less matter in this great universe of life andpassion?
But sometimes anguish and heartbreak forbid us the leave. He had not beenexpected till the next week, though Ilse was coming that night. Dean must take off the emerald he had put on.
I am notafraid she will ever tell him what I said.
