She tore her clothes, and her very flesh, and her beautiful hair, and kept repeating the last words of her lover with amazement and despair. The disappearance of Ariodante, and a rumour which transpired of his having slain himself on account of some hidden anguish, surprised and afflicted the whole court.
She ran downstairs and told her father and Tom what she had seen; and Tom, seizing his hat, tore along Salem Street and over the bridge across Mill Creek to Doctor Warren's. The clock on the Old Brick Meetinghouse was striking ten when he rattled the knocker. "The boats are on their way up the river with the tide," he said, out of breath with his running.
De Valence, surprised, took it in confusion, and without answer; but his countenance told the state of his mind. He was humbled by the man he hated; and while a sense of the disgrace he had incurred tore his proud soul, he had not dignity enough to acknowledge the generosity of his enemy in again giving him a life which his treachery had so often forfeited.
I remember that as I went I tore the spear out of the stallion's flank and brought it away with me. Now I was hammering upon the back door of the house, which I could not open.

Among the things she meant to do this morning was the writing of several letters to so-called friends, who had addressed her in the wonted verbiage on the subject of her engagement. Five minutes proved the task impossible. She tore up a futile attempt at civility, and rose from the desk with all her nerves quivering. "How well I understand," she said to herself, "why men swear!"
