Strana 33 - EXPLOSION. 39 in. The room was empty, like the rooms downstairs. But, close to the entrance, there was a trifling object to attract notice, in the shape of a note lying on the carpet. He picked it up, and saw that it was addressed to him, in the handwriting of his wife. He opened it. The note began, without the usual form of address, in these words:— "I know the abominable secret that you and my uncle have hidden from me. I know your infamy, and her infamy, and the position in which, thanks to...
Strana 273 - I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up : while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 16. Thy fierce wrath gocth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. 17. They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. 18. Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. THE LAND OF FORGETFULNESS.

Carry your memory back to the fourteenth of August. Do you deny that you promised to marry Miss Silvester privately at the Craig Fernie inn?" "I object to that question,
Strana 115 - I answer, Sir Patrick, as Mr. Brinkworth has answered. No such thing as the thought of marrying him ever entered my head. ' ' "And this you say, on your oath as a Christian woman?" "On my oath as a Christian woman." Sir Patrick looked round at Blanche. Her face was hidden in her hands. Her stepmother was vainly appealing to her to compose herself. In the moment of silence that followed, Mr. Moy interfered in the interests of his client. "I waive my claim, Sir Patrick, to put any questions on my side....
Strana 240 - ... I didn't understand what he meant. He turned to some person who was sitting on the bench with him. 'This is a hard case,' he says. 'Poor people in this condition of life don't even know what a marriage settlement means. And, if they did, how many of them could afford to pay the lawyer's charges?' Upon that he turned to me. 'Yours is a common case,
Strana 187 - A small back door, in the end wall (intended probably for the gardener's use) was secured by a lock — the key having been taken out. There was not a house near. The lands of the local growers of vegetables surrounded the garden on all sides. In the nineteenth century, and in the immediate neighbourhood of a great metropolis, Anne was as absolutely isolated from all contact with the humanity around her as if she lay in her grave.
Strana 112 - Arnold Brinkworth! answer for yourself, in the presence of the persons here assembled. In all that you said, and all that you did, while you were at the inn, were you not solely influenced by the wish to make Miss Silvester's position as little painful to her as possible, and by anxiety to carry out the instructions given'to you by Mr. Geoffrey Delamayn?
