love is either absurd ly trustful or absurdly suspicious there is no middle course no bal anced judgment everything is in ex tremes everything is seen through a magnifying lens or missed alto gether in the trustfulness of love little virtues aire magnified to angelic qualities and vices aro quite unseen but change that trust to suspicion and a hidden sinister meaning is found behind the simplest word or act conward had risen and was walking about the room he was conscious of being regarded as a man of very deep insight and the consciousness pleased him we must cause irene to distrust elden to see him in his true light he continued that may bo possible but if it should fail we must take an other course which i hesitate to men tion to you but which may be neces sary if we are to save her from this fatal infatuation if our efforts to cause irene to see elden in his true light were to fail and she wore to dis cover those efforts she would be more set in his favor than ever so we must plan two campaigns one which i have already suggested and one if that should fail to cause elden to dis trust irene nono he said raising his band toward mrs hardy who had started from her seat thero must be no vestige of reason except that the end justifies tho means it is a case as saving irene even if we must pain her and you in the saving its very dreadful mra hardy repeated but you are very
