A BIOGRAPHY
287
lonely than ever, she could not make up her mind to
move.
" Who knows how long I shall stay in Stockholm ?
This cannot last forever!" she often exclaimed. " And
if I am in Stockholm next winter I shall be in such
bad spirits that you will not care to see much of me."
She could not be induced to go and see Mittag Leffler’s
new villa when it was being built. She took no
interest in it, and did not wish to enter the new home of
one of her most intimate friends in such a spirit of
indifference. And when others in her company went
to see the rooms, she insisted on waiting without at
the door.
A feeling of the fleeting, evanescent nature of her
sojourn in Stockholm was growing upon her. She
began to let drop all the ties that bound her to the place.
She neglected her friends, withdrew from society, and
was more than ever indifferent to her house and dress.
All the inspiration and soul had even died out of her
conversation. The former heartfelt interest she had
taken in all spheres of human life and human thought
had faded. She was entirely engrossed by the tragedy
of her life.
