Why, I've been all over the world, I tell you, and fairly loafed and lolled in every conceivable sort of ease and luxury, but the Soul of me__he wild, restless, breathless, discontented soul of me__ever sat down before in all its life__ say, until my frightened hand cuddled into his broken one. I tell you I don't pretend to explain it, I don't pretend to account for it; all I know is__hat smothering there under all that horrible wreckage and everything__he instant my hand went home to his, the most absolute sense of serenity and contentment went over me.
