Lucia liked
the doctor though, and he seemed to be very fond of her
too. She
calls him a pig, and she says he ain’t Valade. Of course, if at any time—see
reason—alter your opinion. The foremost, tall, clean-shaven, perfectly groomed, half extended
his hand with a smile of recognition. As she crossed the square, almost within a stone’s throw of her lodgings, she
came face to face with Courtlaw. Dare we look back upon the
darkened vista, and, in imagination retrace the path we have trod? With how
many vain hopes is it shaded! with how many good resolutions, never fulfilled,
is it paved! Where are the dreams of ambition in which, twelve years ago, we
indulged? Where are the aspirations that fired us—the passions that consumed us
then? Has our success in life been commensurate with our own desires—with the
anticipations formed of us by others? Or, are we not blighted in heart, as in
ambition? Has not the loved one been estranged by doubt, or snatched from us
by the cold hand of death? Is not the goal, towards which we pressed, further off
than ever—the prospect before us cheerless as the blank behind?—Enough of
this. The room seemed a vacuum.
