His eyes glowed with fury, and he thrust aside the consolations of his friends. If God will not aid me, he said fiercely, then the Devil will! The crowd shrank back from the impious words; nevertheless on the third occasion they attended in even greater numbers than before. Again was all made ready for the casting of the huge bell.
Dona Casiana's desolation, when she learned of their decision, was exceedingly great; several times she had to resort to the closet and surrender herself to the consolations of the beverage of her own concoction.
"Undine has left the stream," Mr. Pen went on, choosing to be poetical. "She never ought to have gone there," Miss Amory answered. "She won't go again. It was very foolish: very wrong: it was only play. Besides, you have other consolations at home," she added, looking him full in the face an instant, and dropping her eyes.
