My guilt immediately flew in my face, and told me I had been accessory to this lady's undoing. The sudden shock so affected me, that, had it not been for a dram which the pawnbroker gave me, I believe I should have sunk on the spot." "Accessary to her undoing! how accessary?" said the doctor. "Pray tell me, for I am impatient to hear." "I will tell you all as fast as I can," cries the sick man.
The unnatural and frightful stillness, that reigned within, was gradually communicated to those without. The cries and shouts of triumph ceased, and the crackling of the flames, or the falling of timber in the adjoining buildings, alone disturbed the awful calm.

What's the good of grieving? Suppose you kill yourself, what then? One gets accustomed to everything; be reasonable!"

Have I not sacrificed my life and my happiness to my child? Her cries go to my heart; if she were to fall into the water, I should spring to save her, but she is not in my heart.
Bruce precipitated his lips to his, and sinking on his knees, remained in a silence only broken by his sighs. It was an awful and heart-breaking pause, for the voice which in all scenes of weal or woe had ever mingled sweetly with theirs, was silent. Bruce, aroused by her smothered cries, as she lay almost expiring, upheld by Gloucester, hurried to her side.
