"I do not accuse him." "No, my Lady, no. But others do, and he is in prison and in danger. Oh, Lady Dedlock, if you can say but a word to help to clear him, say it!" What delusion can this be?
At point of day, I awoke and found no trace of her, nor could I come at any news of her, and there befell me what thou knowest of with the eunuch and the Vizier. How then can this have been a dream and a delusion, seeing that the ring is a reality? I should indeed have deemed it a dream but for her ring on my finger.
"No. I didn't know him, and he didn't know me. And so he can't have any grievance against me, anyway." "Yes. But there's all the rest of us on board," he insisted. I felt the inexpugnable strength of common sense being insidiously menaced by this gruesome, by this insane, delusion. And I said: "You mustn't talk so much. You will tire yourself."
"Is thy heart then so firmly set on this thing?" he asked gently. "It is the hope that bears Israel's burdens and the balm that heals the welt of the lash."
