"Alas!" said she, sadly, "even at the best, what can this love, that we have so blindly encouraged what can it end in? Thou must not wed with one like me; and I! how foolish I have been!" "Recall thy senses then, Irene," said Adrian, proudly, partly perhaps in anger, partly in his experience of the sex.
Through tangles of brush she went blindly, throwing herself forward, falling, rising, falling, rising again. It was a nightmare of a race, with Ruth always just there, almost at her heels. She turned as far away from the stream as she could, keeping under the cliffs where there was less brush; where the way was more open; where the shadows were thickest. She was outdistancing Mad Ruth.
"T-touch your hair? rumple it? as I would Gerald's! . . . I'm tempted to only only " "What?" "I don't know; I couldn't. I it was only the temptation of a second " She laughed uncertainly. The suggestion of the intimacy tinted her cheeks with its reaction; she took a short step backward; instinct, blindly stirring, sobered her; and as the smile faded from eye and lip, his face changed, too.
He would linger and parley, and in a few moments it was master and he was following its behest blindly, desperately, to the point almost of exposure and destruction.

I dig and search, and am continually coming across the thick roots of the huge thing above the surface.
And especially is this phase of thought to be expected in a boy whose heart blindly nourishes the seeds of poetical passion. It was Godwin's sincere belief that he held girls, as girls, in abhorrence. This meant that he dreaded their personal criticism, and that the spectacle of female beauty sometimes overcame him with a despair which he could not analyse.
Who can tell whether the blindly executed convict did not deserve his punishment after all? Who knows whether he was not worse at heart than he who actually committed the bloody deed? What if he wished his father's death, and therefore was guiltier than he who carried out that wish?

She swayed forward, and made a fresh start blindly, with an awful dread of falling down; but at the end of a few steps, unexpectedly, she found a sensation of support, of security. Raising her head, she saw a man’s face peering closely at her veil.
