Edna Pon Tellier could not have told why wishing to go to the beach with Robert she should in the first place have declined and in the second place have followed in obedience to one of the two contradictory impulses which impelled her. A certain light was beginning to dawn, dimly within her, The light, which showing the way, forbids it. At that early period, it served. But to be wilder her, it moved her to dreams, to thoughtfulness to the shadowy anguish which had overcome her the midnight when she had abandoned herself to tears. In short, Mrs Pond Tellier was beginning to realize her position in the universe as a human being and to recognize her relations as an individual toe, the world within and about her. This may seem like a ponderous weight of wisdom to descend upon the soul of a young woman of 28. Perhaps more wisdom than the Holy Ghost is usually pleased. A vouchsafe to any woman.

How few of us ever emerged from such beginning how many souls Parrish and its tunnelled, the voice of the seas seductive, never ceasing, whispering, clamoring Myre Mory inviting the soul toe wander for a spell in the business of solitude to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation, the voice of the sea speaks to the song.
