Excerpt from Anne Sherwood, Vol. 3 of 3: Or, the Social Institutions of England Never had Annie been so humble in her own eyes, she forgot, utterly forgot her fond dream, that successful genius might one day level the distinction between her noble lover and herself, and again and again she accused herself of madness and presumption. "And his love, " she murmured, "is a fatal accident for Claude, but for me - for me it is the crown of existence, even though it be destined to perish in the furnace of affliction. To be loved by Claude one day - one hour - might well be bought by years of suffering!" Again and again the letter was read, and Annie pondered over Claude's remarks on Oswald, "he was too contemptibly weak to make his own happiness, in defiance of a world which could offer him nothing in exchange for the felicity he sacrificed on her tinselled altars!" When Claude wrote that, he meant to return to Annie, two months later, he remembered the gulf which separated them, and, perhaps, his already cooled passion made it easy for him to avoid one whoso love would degrade him.
