Webster, Henry Kitchell, 1875-1932

"The Real Adventure"


But the truth itself, confidently stated, not as a tragic ending, but
as the splendid hopeful beginning of a life of truer happiness for Rose
and her husband, needn't be a shock. So this was what Rose had borne
down on in her letter to Portia. It wasn't a very long letter,
considering how much it had to tell.
"... I have found the big thing couldn't be had without a fight,"
she wrote. "You shouldn't be surprised, because you've probably
found out for yourself that nothing worth having comes very easily.
But you're not to worry about me, nor be afraid for me, because I'm
going to win. I'm making the fight, somehow, for you as well as for
myself. I want you to know that. I think that realizing I was
living your life as well as mine, is what has given me the courage
to start....
"I've got some plans, but I'm not going to tell you what they are.
But I'll write to you every week and tell you what I've done and I
want you to write to Rodney.
