"It often occurs to me," said Marion, "that half the actual history of our own lives is unknown to us now, but will be probably revealed hereafter;--in what respect, for instance, our circumstances in life would have been altered, had we on various occasions acted differently--how near we may have been to meeting with great events which never actually occurred--what impression has been made on others by our conduct and actions--who really loved us, and what is the extent of good or evil which our conversation or our writings may have done in the world. To your brother how many interesting discoveries would such revelation probably disclose!"
