Excerpt from Salve
As I returned home after the dinner at Tonks" (it is mentioned in the last chapter of the volume entitled "Ave"), my departure from London seemed to become suddenly imminent. I did not know if I should leave London in a week or in six weeks, only that my departure could not be much longer delayed ; and while passing through Grosvcnor Gardens, I began to wonder by what means the Destiny I had just heard would pull me out of my flat in Victoria Street. Two years or eighteen months of my lease still remained; this lag end had been advertised, but no desirable tenant had presented himself, and it did not seem to me that I could go away to Dublin leaving the flat empty, hiking with me all my pictures and furniture. A house in Dublin would be part of my equipment as a Gaelic League propagandist, and it would cost me a hundred pounds a year; houses in Dublin are rarely in good repair, some hundreds might have to be spent upon it; and falling into an armchair, I asked myself where all this money was to come from, my will receding.
