Be your Rubicon big or small, clear or foul, it is the same: you shall not return.

Richard Feverel was now crossing the River of his Ordeal.
He didn't even do it for a woman." "For a woman!" cried Lucy. "What man would for a woman?" "I would." "You, Lord Mountfalcon?" "Yes. I'd turn Catholic to-morrow." "You make me very unhappy if you say that, my lord." "Then I'll unsay it." Lucy slightly shuddered. She put her hand upon the bell to ring for lights. "Do you reject a convert, Mrs. Feverel?" said the nobleman. "Oh yes! yes! I do.

But, of course, I don't really know if that's how the case lies mother's account was very confused.
