| It was a rather gloomy dwelling for one who was neither a recluse nor a student, and I think it gave something of its character to me-- perhaps some of its former occupant's character; for always I felt in it a certain melancholy that was not in my natural disposition, nor, I think, due to loneliness. Too readily doth the recluse reach his hand to any one who meeteth him. I must not remain forever a recluse, for similar chances have come my way before. |
