It may be imagined whether; now that he's gone; the promise seems 
to me less sacred。  I'm convinced that if such pages had appeared 
in his lifetime the Abbey would hold him to…day。  I've kept the 
advertising in my own hands; but the manuscript has not been 
recovered。  It's impossible; and at any rate intolerable; to 
suppose it can have been wantonly destroyed。  Perhaps some hazard 
of a blind hand; some brutal fatal ignorance has lighted kitchen…
fires with it。  Every stupid and hideous accident haunts my 
meditations。  My undiscourageable search for the lost treasure 
would make a long chapter。  Fortunately I've a devoted associate in 
the person of a young lady who has every day a fresh indignation 
and a fresh idea; and who maintains with intensity that the prize 
will still turn up。  Sometimes I believe her; but I've quite ceased 
to believe myself。  The only thing for us at all events is to go on 
seeking and hoping together; and we should be closely united by 
this firm tie even were we not at present by another。
