Who could have the heart to be angry with her one moment?

This project was now the only subject of reflection; and she watched impatiently for the dawn of day, with that determinate purpose which generally insures success. At the usual hour, Jemima brought her breakfast, and a tender note from Darnford.
What are the common run of workhouses, but prisons, in which many respectable old people, worn out by immoderate labour, sink into the grave in sorrow, to which they are carried like dogs!"
