“I think,” she said to Diamond after they had been sitting silent for a long time, “that if I were only a dream,jordan 11 black, you would not have been able to love me so. You love me when you are not with me, don’t you?”
“Indeed I do!” answered Diamond stroking her hand. “I see! I see! How could I be able to love you as I do if you were not there at all, you know? Besides I would not be able to dream anything half so beautiful all out of my own head. Or if I did, I could not love a fancy of my own like that, could I?”
“I think not. Besides, would you not have forgotten me wholly when you woke again? People almost always forget their dreams. But you have seen me in many shapes, Diamond. You remember I was a wolf once — don’t you,jordan wholesale?”
“Yes, a good wolf that frightened a bad, wicked nurse!”
“Well, if I were to turn to an ugly shape again, would you still wish I were not a dream?”
“Yes, for I should know you were still beautiful inside, and that you loved me still. I should not like you to look ugly, you know. And I shouldn’t believe it was really you a bit!”
“That’s my own Diamond! Then I will try to tell you all I know about it. I don’t think I am just what you fancy me to be. I have to shape myself in various ways to various people. But the heart of me is true. People call me by dreadful names and think they know all about me. But they don’t. Sometimes they call me Bad Fortune or Evil Chance or Ruin — as Mr. Evans did when I sank his ship. Then people have another name for me which they think the most dreadful of all.”
“What is that?” asked Diamond smiling up in her face. “And does it only mean another way in which you do them good though they think you are doing them ill?”
“Yes,” answered North Wind, “it is just like that,fake chanel watches. But I will not tell you that name — not just now. Only will you always remember,fake rolex, if you should hear it, not to be the least afraid of it — or of me? Will you promise, Diamond?”
“Yes, North Wind, I promise,” said Diamond. “I will never be afraid of you.”
“Do you remember having to go through me to get into the country at my back?” asked North Wind, “after the long, long, long ride in the ship and the journey on the iceberg?”
“Yes, yes, I do! How tired you were, North Wind, when we got at last on to the iceberg and South Wind began to blow! And how thin and weak you grew in the beautiful blue cave in the side of the ice. Afterward when I landed and found you in the cleft in the ice ridge, sitting on your own door-step, how cold you were, North Wind! And so white, all but your lovely eyes! When I went up close to you, my own heart grew like a lump of ice. And when I tried to clasp you, the white grew so thick all about me, and then I forgot for a while.”
“You were very near then, Diamond, to knowing what my other name is. But did I hurt you at all, dear boy? Would you be afraid of me if you had to go through me again?”
“No. Why should I? It was delicious to forget like that! It was like going into the softest and sweetest sleep! I should be glad enough to do it again, if it was only to get another peep at the country at your back.”
