Ruffo come into her life when she was comparatively happy and at ease,
she would never have drawn so closely to him, despite the resemblance
that stirred her to the heart. But he came when she was feeling
specially lonely and sad; and when he, too, was in trouble. Both
wanted sympathy. Hermione gave Ruffo hers in full measure. She could
not ask for his.
