But her ears are not so sharp as mine." VIOLANTE. "Ah! that is the fair creature whom Leonard called his child-angel? What a lovely innocent face! the angel is there still." "You think so; and you are right. Helen is not communicative. But fine natures are like fine poems, a glance at the first two lines suffices for a guess into the beauty that waits you if you read on."
I get out here and go across the fields." That stile, those fields with what distinctness Leonard remembered them. Ah, where was Helen? Could she ever, ever again be, his child-angel? "I will go with you, if you permit," said he to the good doctor. "And while you pay your visit, I will saunter by a little brook that I think must run by your way." "The Brent you know that brook?
The child-angel I saw must have run in much further than I had supposed, and perhaps I could not find her at all. A sickening fear came to me that she had grown dizzy, or had slid down over the loose sand into the terrific abyss of the crater itself. So another half minute passed; and now only one minute was left." "I don't see how you managed to be so confoundedly accurate in your reckoning.
His state of mind seemed actually dangerous. There was an evil gleam in his eyes that looked like madness. What made it more perplexing still was the new revulsion of feeling that now was manifest. It was not so much love for the child-angel as bitter and venomous hate for his wife. The gentler feeling had given place to the sterner one.
She had betrayed her friends, and sought her husband's death; but would she wish to have her crime made manifest? Not she. It was for this, then, that she wept and clung to the child-angel. Such thoughts as these were not at all adapted to give comfort to his mind, or make his rest refreshing.

"Well, I mumbled something or other, and then offered to go and get their carriage. But they would not hear of it. The child-angel said she could walk. This I strongly dissuaded her from doing, and Ethel insisted that the men should carry her. This was done, and in a short time we got back to the Hermitage, where the old lady was in no end of a worry.
As Dacres growled out this Hawbury elevated his eyebrows, and stroked his long, pendent whiskers lazily with his left hand, while with his right he drummed on the table near him. "Well," resumed Dacres, "the child-angel ran up for some distance, leaving Ethel behind. Ethel called after her for some time, and then began to follow her up.
But to my surprise, as I was walking about, I saw the two young ladies come out and go toward the cone. "I kept out of the way, as you may suppose, and watched them, wondering what idea they had. As they passed I heard the younger one the child-angel, you know, my girl teasing the other to make the ascent of the cone, and the other seemed to be quite ready to agree to the proposal.
The doctor opened the garden gate of the quiet cottage to which poor Burley had fled from the pure presence of Leonard's child-angel. And with heavy step, and heavy heart, Leonard mournfully followed, to behold the wrecks of him whose wit had glorified orgy, and "set the table in a roar." Alas, poor Yorick!
