Excerpt from Richard Kurt Events had crowded swiftly on one another in the last forty eight hours. As sometimes happens in times of sudden change or rapid development, a chasm of es seemed to lie between him and his life - at Ouchy. It was as {though he had traversed great distances, and behind and beyond, time appeared to stretch indefinite and remote. At his heart lay an indescribable oppression. This gulf between him and the past was unbridged by the hurried sequence of those necessary acts which had filled the two intervening days. The happening of every hour filled his memory with vivid detail, crowding out everything unconnected with his mother's death. His confused arrival in the fog - the crowded station - the friendly porter, the home-coming and the ringing of the bell, the hushed whisper of the servant, the very departure of the cabman, had burnt in upon his mind an ineffaceable memory which, like a scar, disfigured his mental outlook and made of existence a dream and of himself an echo.
