The priest, after making the sign of the cross upon the Missal, next crossed himself: first upon his forehead to declare that he would never blush for the divine word; then on his mouth to show his unchanging readiness to confess his faith; and finally on his heart to mark that it belonged to God alone. 'Dominus vobiscum, said he, turning round and facing the cold white church.
It seemed to accentuate her forlorn sense of having nothing stationary to hold on to, not even an unchanging God. The Gala
Gratitude, it is true, might derive a great portion of its brightness from love: but Laura fancied that she had not said half enough in return for all that he had done in her behalf: she fancied that she had scarcely spoken her thanks sufficiently warmly, and she longed to see him again, to talk over all that had taken place, to assure him of her deep, deep gratitude, and, perhaps though she did not acknowledge that purpose to her own heart to assure him also still more fully of her unchanging affection.

Mrs. Byass never suspected the second purpose for which her lodger had desired to speak with Jane this evening.

What torture for her, when, absorbed as she was by a single, unchanging thought, she had so much need of silence and solitude! But there was something even more terrible than that.
