I have lost her instead of finding her.

I, who have loved her ever since I was a baby, am no more than a stranger to her.

Can't you see how she looks at me?
She has learned to know you, but I am a stranger to her." "But how could she know you, Paul?
She did not know me till it was explained to her." "I know," he said.

"I don't blame her, but at the same time I cannot stand it.

Can't you help me with her?
Can't you tell her how I have loved her, so that she may understand that at least ?" "Poor Paul!" said Miss Ludington, soothingly.
