I looked away from her for the pleasure of looking at her again, of realizing that my overwrought senses were not cheating me. Yes, there she was, in all the luster of that magnetic beauty I cannot think of even now without an up-blazing of the fire which is to the heart what the sun is to the eyes of a blind man dreaming of sight. There she was on my side of the chasm that had separated us-alone with me-mine-mine! And my heart dilated with pride.
But a moment later came a sense of humility. Her beauty intoxicated me, but her youth, her fineness, so fragile for such rough hands as mine, awed and humbled me. "I must be very gentle," said I to myself.
"I have promised that she shall never regret. God help me to keep my promise! She is mine, but only to preserve and protect." And that idea of _responsibility_in_possession_ was new to me-was to have far-reaching consequences.
