"No," she said, "you are the same."
Her face shining before him. Her head quickly lifted.
"I was a fool. Look, Erik, I am happy—happier than anybody on earth."
She dropped to her knees, kissing his hand.
"I am so happy, I kneel...."
They stood together in the window and laughed.
"There's a wonderful old woman here. We've talked a great deal, about everything, and you. You don't mind? To-morrow we'll lie all day on the shore. Oh, Erik. Erik!"
"We'll never be alone again, Rachel."
