I would never have admitted it -- I was really ashamed of it -- because , you see , I had hated and despised Dick so much before he went away . When I heard that Captain Jim was bringing him home I expected I would just feel the same to him . But I never did -- although I continued to loathe him as I remembered him before . From the time he came home I felt only pity -- a pity that hurt and wrung me . I supposed then that it was just because his accident had made him so helpless and changed . But now I believe it was because there was really a different personality there . Carlo knew it , Anne -- I know now that Carlo knew it . I always thought it strange that Carlo should n't have known Dick . Dogs are usually so faithful . But HE knew it was not his master who had come back , although none of the rest of us did . I had never seen George Moore , you know . I remember now that Dick once mentioned casually that he had a cousin in Nova Scotia who looked as much like him as a twin ; but the thing had gone out of my memory , and in any case I would never have thought it of any importance . You see , it never occurred to me to question Dick 's identity . Any change in him seemed to me just the result of the accident . `` Oh , Anne , that night in April when Gilbert told me he thought Dick might be cured ! I can never forget it . It seemed to me that I had once been a prisoner in a hideous cage of torture , and then the door had been opened and I could get out . I was still chained to the cage but I was not in it . And that night I felt that a merciless hand was drawing me back into the cage -- back to a torture even more terrible than it had once been . I did n't blame Gilbert .
I XXXXX he was right .
