For that night, at least, Holmes swept his soul clean of doubt and indecision; one of his natures was conquered, finally, he thought. Polston, if he had seen his face as he paced the street slowly home to the mill, would have remembered his mother's the day she died.

Perhaps no two other men ever did. I find myself a jailer to the woman I love Oh, yes, I am also imprisoned by Royalty but that does not alter matters." The voice shook.
