`` He has been with you an age . Mortals who are taken up to Paradise seldom stay so long . Sweet dreams are not so long . A fortnight in the same house with you , meeting with you at breakfast , parting with you at midnight , seeing you at noontide and afternoon , walking with you , riding with you , singing with you , kneeling down to family prayer at your side , mixing his ` Amen ' with yours ; why he might as well be your husband at once . He has as much delight in your society . '' `` You forget the hours in which he is shooting pheasants and playing billiards . '' `` Glimpses of purgatory , which make his heaven all the more divine , '' said Rorie .
