On what factors did marriage rest ? Was it merely a discipline or was it ultimately selfishness ? My agitation increased , and I hurried eastwards , soon entering an area of riverside London that , had I been calmer , might have given me some alarm .

A distant glare of light , where nightshifts were at work , illuminated the huge shapes of ocean steamers .
