And never a woman but could tell the length of time that Countess X had remained in the conservatory; or the variety of rouge used by that preposterous Mademoiselle C , whose mother should really adopt spectacles. For a matter of four or five weeks Ivan, still living in the glamour of this land of the death-in-life, permitted himself to float, passively, round and round the fashionable whirlpool.
Ferrier was pale when Frank asked "Where am I?" He waved the skipper aside, and set himself to comfort the brave man who had returned from the death-in-life of chloroform. "Bear down on our people and let my men take the boat back. I'm going to stop all night with you, skipper." "Well, of all the well, there sir, if you ain't. Lord! what me and Frank'll have to tell them if we gets home!
They found him full of sympathy and appreciation, dropping words of praise, ejaculations of admiration, tears. He surrounded himself with those who had tasted of his bounty, sick people whom he had cured, lepers whose death-in-life, demoniacs whose hell-in-life, he had terminated with a single powerful word.
Obey that Spirit; from him comes every right judgment of your minds, every good desire of your hearts, every thought and feeling in you which raises you up, instead of dragging you down; which bids you do your duty, and live the life of God and Christ, instead of living the mere death-in-life of selfish pleasure and covetousness.

Words are powerless to describe the desolation of that prison-house, or the joy of the soul that is delivered out of its captivity.
But through these five years of death-in-life I managed to attain freedom such as few men have ever known. Closest-confined of prisoners, not only did I range the world, but I ranged time. They who immured me for petty years gave to me, all unwittingly, the largess of centuries. Truly, thanks to Ed Morrell, I have had five years of star- roving. But Ed Morrell is another story.
For John she had little compassion, and the gay and feverish existence of New York spread out invitingly before her in a vision full of piquant contrasts with the death-in-life of the Five Towns! But her beloved girls! They were an insuperable barrier.
Death would be welcome; the infliction of it can find forgiveness; but how can we forgive the infliction of death-in-life?
