More than once the Lost Brother seemed to awake from a dream, and spoke of going forth again from this home or quiet, saying: "Truly this is great peace and solace to me, but I am not of you; my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor is yours my way of life.  Indeed, though I were to will it never so, I could not repent of what I have done.  Let me go; why should I be an offence and a stone of stumbling to those who are righteous among you?"
