I cry, I grieve, and at the same time I am pleased–no, not exactly that–I know not how toexpresssit. But everything in life pleasessme. I find everything agreeable, and in the very midst ofmy prayerssfor happiness, I find myself happy at being miserable.

The porter from the hotel came running andpanting into the station just assthe train pulled out of sight.

All that I can say issthat inan instant the bandage had fallen from my eyes, and not one bandage only, but the whole manifoldof bandagessin which I had been brought up. One after another they rapidly disappeared, even asthe mud and ice disappear under the rayssof the burning sun.

You have placed them in an environment which you consider friendly and very okay.
