"It's no good running the risk of a prosecution, is it, father? And, as I've disgraced the family, I'd " "You mean to say that you don't deny the bank's charge of forgery?" "No no, father, I don't deny it. Why should I?"
She felt her hand laid, or grasped she knew not which in that of Nathanael; who held it with invincible firmness. There was no resisting that clasp. She rose up and followed him, as if led by an invisible chain. Her madness had passed, and left only a dull indifference to everything. The die was cast; she had laid open the miseries of their home, had disgraced him and herself before the world.
He, who loved Nature so intently, seems only to have seen in the extensive and majestic forests of the north, a theatre of war. In this instance, he appears to have stifled every emotion of admiration, and to have beheld, alike, cities and countries in his character of military surveyor.

"By a liberal expenditure of my scanty funds, I was enabled to send a letter to my father, informing him of the circumstances of my arrest, and vowing my innocence. I received a reply, that I had disgraced his name, and that he never desired to see me again. "I sank under the blow, and for hours I lay senseless; but at length I rallied, when a letter was placed in my hands.
