Excerpt: Poor little witch! I think she left all her spells and
love-philters behind her, when she let herself be carried off from
Ballater to Bayswater, a spot where no sorcery more poetical or more
interesting than modern Spiritualism finds a congenial home. What was
her star about not to teach her that human hearts can beat as
passionately up among the quiet hills and the dark fir-forests as down
amid the rattle and the roar of the town? Well, well; it is only in
the grave[2] that we make no mistakes; and life and love, God knows,
are mysteries beyond the ken of a chuckle-headed country gentleman,
with just sense enough to handle a gun and land a salmon."
