IN Dean Priest Emily found, for the first time since her father had died, a companion who could fully1 sympathize. She was always at her best with him, with a delightful2 feeling of being understood. To love is easy and therefore common—but to understand—how rare it is! They roamed wonderlands of fancy together in the magic August days that followed upon Emily’s adventure on the bay shore, talked together of exquisite3, immortal4 things, and were at home with “nature’s old felicities” of which Wordsworth so happily speaks.

She loved him for the world he opened to her view.
There was such fun in him, too,—such sly, surprising fun. He told her jokes—he made her laugh. He told her strange old tales of forgotten gods who were very beautiful—of court festivals and the bridals of kings. He seemed to have the history of the whole world at his fingers’ ends. He described things to her in unforgettable phrases as they walked by the bay shore or sat in the overgrown, shadowy old garden of Wyther Grange. When he
