"Do you know that I love now to recall and visit at certain dates the places where I was once happy in my own way? I love to build up my present in harmony with the irrevocable past..."
"And I do nothing but dream every day at last I shall meet some one. Oh, if only you knew how often I have been in love in that way..."
"How? With whom?..."
"Why, with no one, with an ideal, with the one I dream of in my sleep. I make up regular romances in my dreams."
