But this is how Madge expresses herself on a similar occasion:--

"... Thanks very much for the bracelet. It seems pretty

decent...."

Let me give two other extracts which happen to treat of similar

themes. Here is the first:--

"... I heard music surging in great waves of divine beauty

from Belnobbio's 'cello, and, magically, wonderfully, it lured

and compelled my thoughts, beloved one, to you. In all those

immortal harmonies I heard your voice; the Master's rapt

features faded into mist, and I saw instead your own grave,

strong face. Tell me, what is this power which can so converge

all beauties to one centre?..."
