Excerpt from Luck; And What Came of It, Vol. 2: A Tale of Our Times

Above the sorrow. The joy was a broad expanse, the sorrow but a fringe. Had he not reason to believe that he was not disagreeable to her? That she was not offended at his presumption in addressing her? That in fact she did not consider him presumptuous at all? Did he not know that she had not only not repulsed, but greatly encouraged him, as far as maidenly modesty would allow? He answered all these self-put questions in the affirmative and was as happy as only youth can be when the all conquering passion has first taken full and innocent possession of the heart and the mind, and has been emboldened to look beyond the golden gateway of dawning hope into the far future where the dawn of hope should be intensified into the full noon of certainty. The sadness was but for the day and the morrow, or for a few months at furthest, after which he might possibly return to revel in the fair destiny that seemed to stretch out in all the colours of heaven before him, and find that his joy was not for.
