Another day, and I stood at the stern of the steamer which was rapidly
cleaving the smooth waters, straining my eyes after the quickly
vanishing land, my arms folded tightly on my chest, as if to press
down the bitterness that swelled my heart into the stern stillness
of manful endurance: all the events of the last four months, even to
their minutiæ, stood clear before me; and as the distant outline of
the land I was leaving--probably for ever--faded from my sight, and I
felt the keen pang that in leaving it I left my all, which has rent
many a heart, Kate Vernon's words flashed back upon my memory--"I am
quite sure that a stedfast resignation to what you have brought upon
yourself; an unmurmuring struggle to retrieve, will work its own cure;"
and I slowly turned to go below, feeling how great was the change
wrought in me since life presented no deeper ill than an unlucky change
of quarters.
