"She's been sitting here by herself all the time " and my voice failed me, remembering that dark and anguished sense of guilt and ruin, of unease and terror, that at times fell upon one in the night like a smothering garment. Cold drops came upon my forehead, when I reflected that we had been living under the same roof with This, and we all unknowing.
'Do you think the doctor 'ud come, Luke, if you went for him? He can't get breath. Lydia does want the doctor fetching. Luke was off in an instant. Lydia stood by the bed, pale, anguished. Happily, that struggle, which seemed of death, did not last very long. The worn old face, almost venerable at length in spite of the grotesqueness of its features, fell into calm.
It was out of the abundance of his anguished heart that he added: "The situation is agreeable to me for many reasons but alas! it appears that nothing can now give me pleasure or the slightest gratification. Excuse me, my Dear Sir, if in this letter you find much incoherency. My feelings at this moment are pitiable indeed.
Boyish, hateful tears stood in his eyes and, in spite of anguished effort of will, threatened to fall. He continued to look into the fire, so that she should not see them. "I shall go on as I always have done," he said as stoutly as he could. "Your prospects are not very bright, I fear." "I shall keep my head above water," said Paul. "Oh, please don't!" he cried, shivering.
Judith would not like that. She sat quite motionless, looking into black abysses of pain, of responsibilities not met, feeling press upon her the terrifying closeness of all human beings to all other human beings there in the sun of June a cold sweat stood on her forehead.... But then she drew a long breath. Why, there was Austin! The anguished contraction of her heart relaxed.
To cast him out thus! All this flashed through my anguished mind in one brief throb of time, as I waited, marvelling what he would do, what say, in answer to that dismissal. He would not plead, or else I did not know him; and I was sure of that, without knowing what else there was that must make it impossible for old Falcone to stoop to ask a favour of my mother.
"And Theodore King is in the hospital," went on Morse, mercilessly. "It'll do no good for you to remember him." She was too normally alive not to express the loving heart outraged within her. "I shall love him as long as I live," she shivered between her fingers. "Hell of a lot of good it'll do you," grunted the man coarsely. Keen anxiety empowered her to raise an anguished face.
There was a long space between the lift of one breath and the next. Her heart melted with sorrowful pity. Resting herself on her hands, she kissed him a long, anguished kiss, as if she would fuse her soul into his for ever. Then she rose, sighing, sighing again deeply. She put up her hands to her head and looked at the moon. 'No more, said her heart, almost as if it sighed too-'no more!
But before Fennell could answer the other prisoner sprang to the side of the speaker, clutching his arm in his claw-like fingers, and crying in an anguished voice: "Perez; brother Perez. Don't you know me?" At the voice Perez started as if a bullet had reached his heart. Like lightning he turned, his face, frozen with fear, that was scarcely yet comprehended, his eyes like darts.
"She's going, too, isn't she?" Miriam nodded, then said slyly, "If she ever gets ready." Just then an anguished voice called out, "Miriam, please come back. That pin you fastened in the back of my waist is sticking me and I can't reach it." Miriam flew to the rescue, smothering an involuntary laugh as she ran.
