Excerpt: ...throw you away--at least, not to-night. I want to think. It was a way of saying she wished him to go, and he had no desire to stay. He asked if he might come again, and she said, Oh yes. To-morrow? Not to-morrow, perhaps. When I send. Was it young Doctor Enderby? They had rather a sad, dry parting; and when her door closed upon him he felt that it had shut him out forever. His shame and his defeat were so great that he did not think of his eidolons, and they did not come to trouble him. He woke in the morning, asking himself, bitterly, if he were cured already. His humiliation was such that he closed his eyes to the light, and wished he might never again open them to it.

The stranger paused again, and Wanhope said: "Those swift transitions of mood are very interesting. Of course they occur in that remote region of the mind where all incidents and sensations are of one quality, and things of the most opposite character unite in a common origin. No one that I remember has attempted to trace such effects to their causes, and then back again from their causes, which would be much more important.
