“But surely that is a happiness to have so many tastes — to enjoy so many beautiful things, when they are within your reach,” said Maggie, musingly. “It always seemed to me a sort of clever stupidity only to have one sort of Naiset Cg Kensington Parka CG55 talent — almost like a carrier-pigeon.”
“It might be Belstaff Roadmaster Blouson Jackor a happiness to have many tastes if I were like other men,” said Philip, bitterly. “I might get some power and distinction by Män International Jackets mere mediocrity, as they do; at least I should get those middling satisfactions which make men contented to do without great ones. I might think society at St. Ogg’s agreeable then. But nothing could make Belstaff Thruxton Blouson Jackor life worth the purchase-money of pain to me, but some faculty that would lift me above the dead level of provincial existence. Yes, there is one thing — a passion answers as well as a faculty.”
Maggie did not hear the last words; she was struggling against the consciousness that Philip’s words had Moncler Kengät set her own discontent vibrating again as it used to do.
“I understand what you mean,” she said, “though I know so much less than you Canada Goose Langford Parka do.

Maggie’s lips trembled; she felt there was some truth in what Philip said, and yet there was a deeper consciousness that, for any immediate application it had to her conduct, it was no better than falsity. Her double impression corresponded to the double impulse of the speaker. Philip seriously believed what he said, but he said it with vehemence because it made an argument against the resolution that opposed his wishes. But Maggie’s face, made more childlike by the gathering tears, touched him with a tenderer, less egotistic feeling. He took her hand and said gently:
Don’t let us think of such things in this short half-hour, Miehet Cg Expedition Parka Maggie. Let us only care about being together. We shall be friends in spite of separation. We shall always think of each other. I shall be glad to live as long as you are alive, because I shalllinks:
