"But how can I, now, be held responsible for your unhappiness and
unrest--for the malicious attitude, as you call it, of the world
toward you? Years ago you felt that there existed some occult
coalition against you, and that I was either privy to it or
indifferent. I was not indifferent, but I did not believe there
existed any reason for your suspicions. This was the beginning of
my failure to understand you; I was sensible enough that we were
unhappy, yet could not see any reason for it--could see no reason
for the increasing restlessness and discontent which came over you
like successive waves following some brief happy interval when your
gaiety and beauty and wit fairly dazzled me and everybody who came
near you. And then, always hateful and irresistible, followed the
days of depression, of incomprehensible impulses, of that strange
unreasoning resentment toward me.
"What could I do? I don't for a moment say that there was nothing I
might have done.
