Not
so
!
--
for
you
are
still
young
,
Madame
,
and
I
am
old
.
You
look
incredulous
?
Alas
,
why
is
it
I
wonder
,
I
may
not
look
the
age
I
am
!
Most
of
my
acquaintances
spend
a
great
part
of
their
lives
in
trying
to
look
the
age
they
are
not
;
and
I
never
came
across
a
man
of
fifty
who
was
not
proud
to
be
considered
thirty-nine
.
My
desires
are
more
laudable
--
yet
honourable
eld
refuses
to
impress
itself
upon
my
features
.
It
is
quite
a
sore
point
with
me
I
assure
you
.
"
"
Well
,
how
old
are
you
really
?
"
asked
Lady
Sibyl
smiling
at
him
.
"
Ah
,
I
dare
not
tell
you
!
"
he
answered
,
returning
the
smile
;
"
But
I
ought
to
explain
that
in
my
countings
I
judge
age
by
the
workings
of
thought
and
feeling
,
more
than
by
the
passing
of
years
.
Thus
it
should
not
surprise
you
to
hear
that
I
feel
myself
old
--
old
as
the
world
!
"
"
But
there
are
scientists
who
say
that
the
world
is
young
;
"
I
observed
,
"
And
that
it
is
only
now
beginning
to
feel
its
forces
and
put
forth
its
vigour
.
"
"
Such
optimistic
wise-acres
are
wrong
,
"
he
answered
--
"
The
world
is
a
veritable
husk
of
a
planet
;
humanity
has
nearly
completed
all
its
allotted
phases
,
and
the
end
is
near
.
"
"
The
end
?
"
echoed
Lady
Sibyl
--
"
Do
you
believe
the
world
will
ever
come
to
an
end
?
"
"
I
do
,
most
certainly
.
Or
,
to
be
more
correct
,
it
will
not
actually
perish
,
but
will
simply
change
.
And
the
change
will
not
agree
with
the
constitution
of
its
present
inhabitants
.
They
will
call
the
transformation
the
Day
of
Judgment
.
I
should
imagine
it
would
be
a
fine
sight
.
"
The
Countess
gazed
at
him
wonderingly
--
Lady
Sibyl
seemed
amused
.
"
I
would
rather
not
witness
it
,
"
--
said
Lord
Elton
gruffly
.
