fate might be. You may not be aware of it yourself, but I
know that in the state you are now it only needs a touch for
you to fall—into something that would be madness. But I
love you, and I can see all the way that has led you to it,
and if you feel I would follow you to try and carry you back in
my arms, because I love you in spite of all."
As they stood by their doors in the dark passage he took
her hands: "Jenny, rather than be alone, would you not
like me to remain with you tonight?"
She looked at him with a curious smile.
"Oh, Jenny!" He shook his head. "I may come to you,
all the same. Would you be angry—or sorry?"
"I think I should be sorry—for your sake. No, do not
come, Gunnar. I will not take your love when I know I could
just as well give mine to anybody else."
He laughed a little, half angrily, half sadly.
"Then I ought to do it. If once you were mine you would
never belong to anybody else—I know you too well for
that—but as you ask me not to, I will wait:" he added, with the
same curious little laugh.
