The coroner heard that in spite of his deafness, and he grew purple. "Sir!" he exclaimed.

For my part, I confess that my sympathies are with France; and I am glad to hear, on so good authority, that these sympathies have not biassed my recital of events. Notwithstanding the denunciations of the Gaulois, I have not the remotest intention to describe the National Guards as a force of any real value for offensive operations.

That Fitzpiers acted upon her like a dram, exciting her, throwing her into a novel atmosphere which biassed her doings until the influence was over, when she felt something of the nature of regret for the mood she had experienced still more if she reflected on the silent, almost sarcastic, criticism apparent in Winterborne's air towards her could not be told to this worthy couple in words.
