The element of uncertainty at all events, such as it was, came largely from the late changes in her own condition; so far as it was not likewise distinguishably riper fruit of the impression in him, rather heavy from the first, of something that he could only call to himself her greater knowledge of life. He had already more than once had to take into account that of the two she had seen, as people said, much the most of the world; and she had not at present seen less of it for returning to America, after her husband's death in the south of Europe and on the admonition of still other circumstances that he divined as beyond his measure, with something of the large air of a public policy. Her departures, absences, returns, returns as for the purpose of intensifying fresh disappearances, these things were what had somehow caused her to glare at him, to dazzle and almost to blind him, as by a wider initiation. He had seen her thus only at certain points of her sustained revolution; had been ignorant of many things with which the cup of her own knowledge overflowed; had been in short indebted for the extent of his privilege to the mere drops and lapses in the general time, as he termed it, that she so insolently kept. Sharing continuously as a child, and then as a growing girl, the life led by her parents in other countries, she had had behind her, at their first meeting, on their twentieth birthday-for in respect of age they marched well enough together-if not fifty years of Europe at least something that already caused him to view his untravelled state as a cycle of Cathay. The time immediately following had been her longest period at home, as well as that of his happiest opportunity-an opportunity not so enjoyed, however, as to have forestalled her marriage with so different a person and so selected a suitor as Townsend Coyne, which event had in its turn been rich in consequences.Some of these, like the immediate migration to Europe of the happy couple, as the pair were prefigured, had been of the sort essentially indicated; such others as Coyne's early failure of health during a journey to the East had been unexpected and lamentable.

The Sense of the Past is an unfinished novel by the American author Henry James that was published in 1917, a year after James' death.

They occurred very much at the same hour and together, the two main things that-exclusive of thedeath of his mother, recent and deeply felt by him-had yet befallen Ralph Pendrel, who, at thirty, had known fewer turns of fortune than many men of his age. But as these matters were quitedistinct I take them for clearness in their order. He had up to this time perforce encountered lifemainly in the form of loss and of sacrifice-inevitabilities these, however, such as scarce representeda chequered career. He had been left without his father in childhood; he had then seen two sistersdie; he had in his twentieth year parted by the same law with his elder and only brother; and he hadfinally known the rupture of the strongest tie of all, an affection for which, as a living claim, he hadhad to give up much else. Among these latter things, none the less, he had not as yet had to reckonMrs. Stent Coyne, and this even though the thought of such a peril was on the eve of his crisis fairlypresent to him. The peril hung before him in fact, though the first note of the crisis had by that timealready sounded, from a different quarter, in the guise of a positive stroke of luck. It appeared thatwhat destiny might call on him for this time would not be just another relinquishment. A letter froma friend in England, a fellow-country-man spending a few months in London and having friends ofhis own there-had mentioned to him the rumoured grave illness and imminent extinction, at agreat age, of the last person in that country bearing Ralph's family name, a person of a distantcousinship with whom he had been indifferently aware. His indifference was not a little enlivened bya remark of his correspondent. "Surely when he does die you'll come in for something!""Surely" was a good deal to say and the whole hint fantastic-it took so much for granted; yet thewords had an effect. This effect was that Ralph determined to mention the matter on the sameoccasion as something else the revolving months had charged him with, something he had at lastreally straightened himself to say to the woman he loved. He had had his fears, and in addition toother hindrances, infelicities of circumstance, imperfections of opportunity, had long deterred him, and he was now disposed to throw himself upon anything that could figure as a help. It mightsupport him to be able to tell her there was a chance for him of a property-probably of somewonderful old house-in England: though less, properly speaking, as an improvement to his state offortune, which might sufficiently pass, than as a bribe to her sense of the romantic. That faculty hadoriginally been strong in her and what could be more depended on at any time in New York, in ParkAvenue, to show as inordinate, as fetching, by the vulgar term, than so possibly to "come in" forsomething strange and storied, ancient and alien? Aurora Coyne was magnificent; that was where hisinterest in her and her effect upon him were strongest. Beautiful, different, proud, she had acongruity with things that were not as the things surrounding her, and these usual objects, inwhatever abundance, were not the bribe to offer. He was glad, at this hour, that his name, bycommon consent-above all, always, it was true, in Park Avenue-cast a fine sharp traceableshadow, or in other words that his race had something of a backward, as well as of a not toosprawling lateral reach. He knew how little his possession of more mere money would help him, andalso that it would have been in his interest to be personally quite of another type; but that hiscleverness could on occasion please her he struck himself as in a position to remember, and he atpresent, turning the whole case over, found aid in the faith that she might at the worst marry him forcuriosity. He was for that matter himself just now inflamed with a curiosity that might provecommunicabl

The Sense of the Past is an unfinished novel by the American author Henry James that was published in 1917, a year after James' death. The novel is at once an eerie account of time travel and a bittersweet comedy of manners. A young American trades places with a remote ancestor in early 19th century England, and encounters many complications in his new surroundings.Young Ralph Pendrel of New York City has written a fine essay on the reading of history. The essay so impresses a distant English relative that he bequeaths an 18th-century London house to Ralph. Pendrel goes to London and explores the house thoroughly. He feels himself going back in time as soon as he crosses the threshold. He finds a portrait of a remote ancestor, also named Ralph Pendrel. The portrait comes alive and the two men meet.
