Truly, she never had known. The idea had been like a spring, at first hidden by leaves, and now forming the current of a deep and rapid stream. She remembered that Tuesday night at dinner she had said suddenly that she wished to go, but she could not remember the first flush of that desire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
