arms about me. My God!" Her voice came with increasing vehemence. "I
want his arms. I want him as he is. I want his body--I cannot love a
ghost. No! no!" she added in a low, hopeless voice. "When he goes out

spirit love! The old Greeks were right. They are shades--shades, mere
shades beyond the river. I don't want a shade. I want a man, a strong,
warm-hearted, brave man.
