You know, it’s so strange, I’m not in the least unhappy. I don’t feel that he’s left me. I feel him just as near to me as before. I don’t know how to explain it to you. I think he’s never been so much alive as now. Oh, John, I know that the soul is immortal.

John.

Darling, I’m so glad you’re not unhappy. Your dear eyes are positively radiant.

Mrs. Wharton.

If you only knew what I seem to see with them!

John.

Won’t you take me up and let me see him?

Mrs. Wharton.

I think the women are not done yet, John. I’ll go up and see. I’ll call you as soon as everything is ready.

John.
