"I have dared to hope that perhaps Wonder, as she was the symbol of our coming together, was taken away just at this time because we were being drawn apart. Perhaps it was to save our love that little Wonder died—" Antony looked at Beatrice; half as one looks at a child, and half as one might look at an angel. I HAVE DARED TO HOPE THAT PERHAPS WONDER AS SHE WAS THE SYMBOL OF OUR COMING TOGETHER WAS TAKEN AWAY JUST AT THIS TIME BECAUSE WE WERE BEING DRAWN APART PERHAPS IT WAS TO SAVE OUR LOVE THAT LITTLE WONDER DIED ANTONY LOOKED AT BEATRICE HALF AS ONE LOOKS AT A CHILD AND HALF AS ONE MIGHT LOOK AT AN ANGEL
en for the child, which he, directly or indirectly, had sacrificed,—directly as he and Wonder alone knew, indirectly by taking them with him into the Valley of Beauty. "Ah, Beatrice, your love is almost greater than I can bear. I am not worthy of it. I never shall be worthy. There is something in the love of a woman like you to which the best man is unequal. We can love—and greatly—but it is not the same." "We went into the valley," he cried, "and I lost you your little Wonder—" "Our little Wonder," gently corrected Beatrice. "We found her together, and we lost her together. Perhaps some day we shall find her together again—" "And do you know, Antony," Beatrice continued, "I sometimes wonder if her little soul was not sent and so taken away all as part of a mission to us, which in its turn is a part of the working out of her own destiny. For life is very mysterious, Antony—" "Alas! I had forgotten life," answered Antony with a sigh. "Yes, dear," Beatrice went on, pursuing her thought.
