I   secretly   thought   I   never   should   care   anything   about   her。    She   seemed 

nothing but a little moral tale。 I thought she would not last me five minutes。 

But now she is growing quite human and ridiculous about that Philip�察�and 

I think I may find her very attractive indeed。;

                              CHAPTER VI。 



                        ;SOME LOVER'S CLEAR DAY。; 

     ;HOPE� ─�said Philip Malbone�察�as they sailed together in a little boat 

the next morning�察 �I have come back to you from months of bewildered 

dreaming。      I have been wandering��no matter where。 I need you。                You 

cannot tell how much I need you。; 

     ;I can estimate it�察─�she answered�察�gently�察 �by my need of you。; 

     ;Not at all�察─�said Philip�察�gazing in her trustful face。 ;Any one whom 

you loved would adore you�察�could he be by your side。 You need nothing。 

It is I who need you。; 

     ;Why�拭─�she asked�察�simply。 

     ;Because�察─�he said�察 �I am capable of behaving very much like a fool。 

Hope�察 �I   am  not   worthy  of   you�察  �why  do   you   love   me�拭  �why  do   you   trust 

me�拭─�

     ;I   do   not   know   how   I   learned   to   love   you�察─  �said   Hope。 ;It   is   a 

blessing that was given to me。        But I learned to trust you in your mother's 

sick´room。; 

     ;Ay�察─�said Philip�察�sadly�察 �there�察�at least�察�I did my full duty。; 

     ;As   few   would   have   done   it�察─  �said   Hope�察  �firmly�察�very   few。   Such 

prolonged self´sacrifice must strengthen a man for life。; 

     ;Not always�察─�said Philip�察�uneasily。         ;Too much of that sort of thing 

may hurt one�察�I fancy�察�as well as too little。 He may come to imagine that 

the balance of virtue is in his favor�察�and that he may grant himself a little 

indulgence     to  make    up   for  lost  time。   That   sort  of  recoil   is  a  little 

dangerous�察�as I sometimes feel�察�do you know�拭─�

     ;And   you   show   it�察─  �said   Hope�察  �ardently�察   �by   fresh   sacrifices�   �How 

much   trouble   you   have   taken   about   Emilia�   �Some   time�察  �when   you   are 

willing�察�you shall tell me all about it。 You always seemed to me a magician�察�

but I did not think that even you could restore her to sense and wisdom so 

soon。; 

    Malbone was just then very busy putting the boat about�察�but when he

had it on the other tack�察�he said�察 �How do you like her�拭─�

     ;Philip�察─�said Hope�察�her eyes filling with tears�察 �I wonder if you have 

the   slightest   conception   how   my   heart   is   fixed   on   that   child。   She   has 

always been a sort of dream to me�察�and the difficulty of getting any letters 

from her has only added to the excitement。 Now that she is here�察�my whole 

heart yearns toward her。         Yet�察�when I look into her eyes�察�a sort of blank 

hopelessness comes over me。 They seem like the eyes of some untamable 

creature   whose   language   I   shall   never   learn。    Philip�察  �you   are   older   and 

wiser than I�察�and have shown already that you understand her。                     Tell me 

what I can do to make her love me�拭─�

     ;Tell me how any one could help it�拭─�said Malbone�察�looking fondly on 

the sweet�察�pleading face before him。 

     ;I am beginning to fear that it can be helped�察─�she said。 Her thoughts 

were still with Emilia。 

     ;Perhaps it can�察─�said Phil�察 �if you sit so far away from people。 Here 

we are alone on the bay。         Come and sit by me�察�Hope。; 

     She had been sitting amidships�察�but she came aft at once�察�and nestled 

by him as he sat holding the tiller。         She put her face against his knee�察�like 

a tired child�察�and shut her eyes�察�her hair was lifted by the summer breeze�察�a 

scent of roses came from her�察�the mere contact of anything so fresh and 

pure was a delight。 He put his arm around her�察�and all the first ardor of 

passion   came   back   to   him  again�察  �he   remembered   how   he   had   longed   to 

win this Diana�察�and how thoroughly she was won。 

     ;It is you who do me good�察─�said she。            ;O Philip�察�sail as slowly as you 

can。; But he only sailed farther�察�instead of more slowly�察�gliding in and out 

among   the   rocky   islands   in   the   light   north   wind�察  �which�察  �for   a   wonder�察�

lasted all that day��dappling the bare hills of the Isle of Shadows with a 

shifting   beauty。     The   tide   was   in   and   brimming�察  �the   fishing´boats   were 

busy�察�white gulls soared and clattered round them�察�and heavy cormorants 

flapped     away    as   they   neared    the  rocks。    Beneath      the   boat   the  soft 

multitudinous   jellyfishes   waved   their   fringed   pendants�察  �or   glittered   with 

tremulous gold along their pink�察�translucent sides。 Long lines and streaks 

of    paler   blue   lay   smoothly      along    the  enamelled      surface�察   �the   low�察�



                                               35

amethystine   hills   lay   couched   beyond   them�察  �and   little   clouds   stretched 

themselves in lazy length above the beautiful expanse。 They reached the 

ruined   fort   at   last�察  �and   Philip�察  �surrendering   Hope   to   others�察  �was   himself 

besieged by a joyous group。 

     As you stand upon the crumbling parapet of old Fort Louis�察�you feel 

yourself poised   in middle   air�察  �the sea´birds   soar   and swoop   around   you�察�

the white surf lashes the rocks far below�察�the white vessels come and go�察�

the   water   is   around   you   on   all   sides   but   one�察  �and   spreads   its   pale   blue 

beauty     up   the   lovely   bay�察  �or�察 �in   deeper    tints�察 �southward      towards     the 

horizon line。 I know of no ruin in America which nature has so resumed�察�it 

seems a part of the living rock�察�you cannot imagine it away。 

     It is a single round�察�low tower�察�shaped like the tomb of Cacilia Metella。 

But   its   stately   position   makes   it   rank   with   the   vast   sisterhood   of   wave´ 

washed strongholds�察�it might be King Arthur's Cornish Tyntagel�察�it might 

be ;the teocallis tower; of Tuloom。               As you gaze down from its height�察�

all things that float upon the ocean seem equalized。 Look at the crowded 

life on yonder frigate�察�coming in full´sailed before the steady sea´breeze。 

To furl that heavy canvas�察�a hundred men cluster like bees upon the yards�察�

yet to us upon this height it is all but a plaything for the eyes�察�and we turn 

with equal interest from that thronged floating citadel to some lonely boy 

in his skiff。 

     Yonder   there   sail   to   the   ocean�察  �beating   wearily   to   windward�察  �a   few 

slow     vessels。    Inward      come    jubilant    whit
