'There are nations that have made their bargain with fate,' said Miss Haldin, who had approached us. 'We need not envy them.'

Mrs. Haldin turned her head away and looked out of the window for a time, with that new, sombre, extinct gaze of her sunken eyes which so completely made another woman of her...
