Such an experiment seemed the rashness of sheer irresponsibility, and to underestimate its danger was only recklessness. Then he saw Conscience's eyes fixed musingly upon him and in them brooded a confidence which he could not analyze or comprehend. "I wouldn't urge it," went on Eben persistently, "if there were any other solution but there doesn't seem to be.
In a voice entirely quiet and devoid of passion he addressed its occupant. "I thought I heard you call for me, sir. I am here." For a little while the study remained silent, except for the excited panting of the minister, whose face was a mask of fury. The passion in Conscience's eyes was gradually fading into an expression of deep misery.
I can't accept an advantage gained at such a cost, Conscience. I think all of her mistakes grew out of an exaggerated innocence and she's paid high enough for them. Marian Holbury is a woman who needs no defense unless it's against pure slander."

Marilla had begun life with certain opinions which she had never changed, though time and occasion had lessened the value of some of them.

The days that followed were troubled days and they brought to Conscience's cheeks an accentuated pallor. Under her eyes were smudges that made them seem very large and wistful.
Social San Francisco during the early Fifties seems to have been a conglomeration of unexpected externals and surprising interiors. It was heterogeneous to the last degree. It was hail-fellow-well-met, with a reservation; it asked no questions for conscience's sake; it would not have been safe to do so.
He would now have to live amongst unattractive and semi-hostile surroundings. Through his own fault, he would suffer. One thought however strengthened him. Thousands of others had suffered for conscience's sake. He remembered how his blood rushed to his face, when he read about the tortures of the martyrs of religion; or the driving into exile of the patriots of Poland.
