Excerpt from The Hermit of Capri
There remains with me the abiding picture of you as, on that warm September afternoon, you turned and walked away so straight and dainty all in white samite, your five-feet five really appearing to grow taller in your departing distance, your wheat-gold hair more golden in the glowing sunset. I had said: Good-bye. God bless you. And you: How shall I know that you are - are all right? And I, again: I will write, if you will permit. You had bowed with a smile of assent in your moist, clear gray eyes. It is to that departing figure, under the rose of that smile and to those honest eyes I write. We had spoken of many things as we walked: of your ambitions in your profession, your love for the children you taught, your misgivings as to your ability to accomplish the good you desired, and, finally, you left me to infer from your exclamation, as we neared the gate of your home, Oh, I want to be doing some thing in the world, to take my part! Thatyou contemplated the possibility of your abandonment of the work which you had often said you felt to be your calling, to yield to that universal beckon of Nature to her children; but at whose special behest you left me to imagine. I was not left in doubt that there was some one, yet in those maidenly eyes came a forbidding mist as a veil through which I might not intrude. Our parting had come-had it not? And so, I, lonely, among the crowd Of passengers on the liner remembered the Vision and our talk of many things, and, oh, I do not like your Mr. Call - or whoever that some one is!
