Excerpt from Macleod of Dare, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel And where was She now - that strange creature who had bewildered and blinded his eyes and so sorely stricken his heart? It was perhaps not the least part of his trouble that all his pas sionate yearning to see her, and all his thinking about her, and the scenes in which he had met her, seemed unable to conjure up any satis factory vision of her. -the longing of his heart went out from him to meet - a phantom. She appeared before him in a hundred Shapes, now one, now the other; but all possessed with a terrible fascination from which it was in vain for him to try to flee.
