Excerpt from In a Silver Sea, Vol. 2 of 3 Come, Ranf, While you have the power, set upon paper a sign that shall remain When you have passed away. While I live no eye but mine shall see What I write. When I am dead, it is Evan geline's, With all that I possess. It is not that I believe I shall die to-night or to-morrow, but it is as well to think of things. It is right that Evangeline should know something of 'my inner life, so that she may give men the lie Who speak ill of me. There are plenty of them let them have their way, but do not let them step into mine. A spirit Within me might cry Strike and they would not live to rue.
