Why have I told this story of two people, which is no story at all, but
only what I know of what has happened to those closest to me? There is
no more of it. It ends with the deaths of them, and yet I do not know
that it is sad. They lived and loved and died. They had more
happiness than comes to one-half humanity. Their life was of the gold
of what is the inner life of the better ones of this great new nation
of a new continent. They lived and loved, and their children live, and
will be good men and women.

I cannot understand the problem. No learning clears it. I only know
that there were Grant and I, that there were bees and perfumes, and
wild, boyish delights, and the older life, and the feverish life of a
city, and the rare, great love I looked upon.
