Excerpt from Henrietta Temple, Vol. 2 of 3: A Love Story But the night that brought dreams to Ferdi nand Armine, brought him not visions more marvellous and magical than his waking life. He who loves, lives in an extatic trance. The world that surrounds him is not the world of working man it is fairy land. He is not of the same order as the labouring myriads on which he seems to tread. They are to him but a swarm of humble-minded and humble-mannered insects. For 'him, the human species is repre sented by a single individual, and of her he makes an idol. All that is bright and rare is but invented and devised to adorn and please her.
