“Constantine had it in mind that, driving thither in the dusk of the evening, they might get an inkling of what was coming. Even though one knows that one is driving to a banquet, and imagination endeavors for an instant to deal with the voluptuous thought, the impression made by natural surroundings is so powerful that it must prevail. That this might occur was Constantine’s only fear; for while there is no power which knows so well how to beautify all things as does imagination, neither is there any power which can so profoundly disturb everything when it fails one upon coming into contact with real life.”
