etz, in a low voice. "From
our exile we still sow our seed."
They approached over the mossy turf, and presently Paul looked up--a
strong face, stern and self-contained; the face of a man who would
always have a purpose in life, who would never be petty in thought or
deed.
For a moment he did not seem to recognize them. Then he rose, and the
pen fell on the flags of the terrace.
"It is mademoiselle!" said Steinmetz, and no other word was spoken.
Maggie walked on in a sort of unconsciousness. She only knew that they
were all acting an inevitable part, written for them in the great
libretto of life. She never noticed that Steinmetz had left her side,
that she was walking across the lawn alone.
Paul came to meet her, and took her hand in silence. There was so much
to say that words seemed suddenly valueless; there was so little to say
that they were unnecessary.
For that which these two had to tell each other cannot be told in
minutes, nor yet in years; it cannot even be told in a lifetime, for it
is endless, and it runs through eternity.
