"Jane, you never played fair with me. But now you're blisterin' your lips blackenin' your soul with lies!" "By the memory of my mother by my Bible no! No, I have no Bible! But by my hope of heaven I swear I love you!" Lassiter's gray lips formed soundless words that meant even her love could not avail to bend his will.
