What a fool she had been with her talk of meeting Tom Lorimer! A sense of utter defeat seemed to paralyze her energies.
God never jests with us, and will not compromise the end of nature, by permitting any inconsequence in its procession. Any distrust of the permanence of laws, would paralyze the faculties of man.
