Excerpt:
The thought came to me that I would try to write a sort of story of my friend. And yet, although I had before me the picture of a heart in the making, I have taken up my pen and laid it down again because it is not a story which marches. Its Victories and defeats went on in the quiet Of Ellen's heart, but I have learned that this silent making and marh ring of the hearts of women means the fate of all men forever.
