“...my mind had put off all it had borrowed of Miss Temple—or rather that she had taken with her the serene #atmosphere I had been breathing in her vicinity—and...I was left in my natural element...beginning to feel the stirring of old emotions. It did not seem as if a prop were withdrawn, but rather as if a motive were gone: it was not the power to be tranquil which had failed me, but the reason for tranquillity was no more.” #QuotsyApr19
