How many remarkable lives there are within us. I went to meet the nocturnal guest. I don't know why, but at the very moment when I opened the door, I felt such warmth and tenderness, felt that all the fears and suspicions, which for so long, from the moment we met, had tormented me, had gone away, as if they had never existed. It was precisely now, at night, that trust was engendered in my heart, and it, my illegitimate child, was stronger than me.
