Solution
"There was a sudden and wonderful change in his soul". It was brought about when Soapy saw his old childhood home. Through the window he saw a light shining, and heard sweet music that sounded familiar to him. He had spent many happy peaceful moments there when his life contained such things as mothers, flowers, high hopes, friends, clean thoughts and clean clothes. He then saw with sick fear how he had fallen. He saw worthless days, his wrong desires, his dead hopes, and the lost power of his mind. He decided to fight to change his life. He would pull himself up, out of the mud. He would make a man of himself again.
