Excerpt from Darien; Or the Merchant Prince, Vol. 3 of 3: A Historical Romance
Alvaro was now happy, almost to his heart’s desire; happy in Isobel, happy in himself, and in all around him. He looked back with self-compassion on the narrow and lonely intellectual life he seemed to have led before he knew her. New sources of thought, and feeling, and hope had gradually disclosed themselves. The world, as he before knew it, had begun to pall upon him, with all its repetitions and its want of object: like Columbus, he had now discovered a new one, of apparently infinite capabilities, as of virgin beauty.
