Kent' — I noticed the gloom deepening in Edward's spirit, its traces showing on his face... It moved me to see a man who had been all vitality, merriment, and energy fading away like this into the mirage of doubt... I did not know whether he too felt it, or pondered it within himself; but I do know that he was searching for some unknown thing upon which to build his life... It is easy for us ordinary people to change our lives as the fancy takes us; for him, that was impossible... And his search for the unknown stirred in me feelings I had never known before... I came to sense a double struggle between his past life and that dim future before him. At this time, too, other changes came about at the Fort; the circle that had wound itself around the Prince's life began to come unstrung, and of his old friends there remained only his cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten, Duke of Burma. He was no stranger to me, for I had come to know him and his wife Edwina in my Washington days, and I counted him among the attractive personalities... He served in the navy, but his companion soon discovers that this post fills only a limited corner of his mind: he would talk on every subject, just as he showered the Prince with books, manuscripts, and magazines... Yet with all this, the empty circle went on enclosing the Prince's life, and it had clung to him ever since the marriage of his brother George; nor did the traditional journeys through God's wide lands, which it was the royal family's custom to make each year, avail him anything... these journeys availed him nothing, and neither eased his loneliness nor filled his empty days...
