Danforth understood that no time was to be lost if he expected to gain any information from the movements of his clerk.

It has been something to wait as I have, never to have spoken, never to have forgotten. France knows and Germany knows, but only me, not what I have. They have even tried to drive me to crime. Wait, fools, wait!" He drew his arms tightly over his heaving breast, for he was deeply moved, while over his face came that indefinable light which, at times, illuminates the countenance of a great man.
"I'm not going to answer any questions! I'll say you've got a nerve! You're the man charged with this crime the man that's liable to be tried for it.

He could not have done it without the impulse of an insane passion; but it was dreadful because it would have shut him out from society; because it would have placed the mark of Cain upon him; because the dungeon and the gallows were beyond it, rather than because it was the sacrifice of a human life, of one created in the image of God.
