Did not the celebrated and mysterious Man in the Iron Mask carry his baffling secret through decades of dungeon death-in-life to the prisoner's dark grave? Others were silently transported to exile overseas. As England had her Botany Bay, so France had Louisiana.
"Even if there were, it would probably be death-in-life: complete paralysis of the lower body." He shuddered. "A dreadful fate! She was so gay and active " "Yes and the struggle with death, for the next few weeks, must involve incessant suffering...frightful suffering...perhaps vainly...." "I feared so," he murmured, his kind face paling.
Then irrelatively he added, "Those two out at that gate this is a matter of life and death with them;" and when I would have qualified the declaration, he broke in upon me "Right, Dick, you're right, it is worse; it's a choice between true life and death-in-life; whether they'll make life's long march in sunshine together or in darkness apart."
Never, never did you truly Love me: I know, the Dead being Wiser than the Living! 'T is Emily Lov'd me truest." And oh, thou awful, far-off God, I cannot make him Understand! And unless I can make him understand, I am lost! My misery, my misery! He will not listen. I am dying of this thing! Now did Shooba's Death-in-Life come upon him once more, and for a day and a night he lay Stark.
Doctor Thayer's massive figure was in the shadow close to the bed, and Aleck Van Camp leaned over the curved footboard. James lay on his pillow, a ghost of a man, still as death itself.

"For all that, and all that," Dada insisted, "he can no more be happy without me than I can without him.
Within its gloomy dungeons hundreds of innocent men had perished in solitary misery, without indictment or trial, consigned to death-in-life by the arbitrary order of irresponsible power. Men of the most eminent intellect and character had suffered within its precincts for the crime of teaching new truth or exposing old superstitions. Voltaire himself had twice tasted imprisonment there.
At least this is what some thought, who believed that for every one a special hour would come, when they would be called, and then left to decide, as it were, between life and death-in-life; if they accepted life, the next message would be fraught with strength and help and blessing; but if they rejected it, the bells would utter their condemnation, and leave them to their fate.

Jean was not made of wood, understand. In a manner she recognized all these little tributes, and to a certain degree she appreciated them. She was glad that she had made such a success of it, but she was glad because it would help her to take her dad away from that horrible, ghastly place and that horrible, ghastly death-in-life under which he lived.
