The death-stroke he had dealt all unwittingly, in heedless passion, rose before his soul day and night as an accursed and bloody deed; and every moment embittered by his wife's unfaith, even to the last hour when, on her death-bed, she cursed him, he lived through again, night after night.
Josephine loved Bonaparte with that soft, modest, and retiring affection, which only by degrees by the storms of anguish, jealousy, agony, and the possibility of losing him was to be fanned into that vitality and glow which never cooled again in her heart, and which at last gave her the death-stroke.
The sight of those MSS. and books was the friend's death-stroke; half his soul, which had once given them animation, was parted from him, and a few weeks terminated his own days. Pierre gave an interesting proof of literary friendship for Varignon, the geometrician. They were of congenial dispositions, and St.
Then came a wonder when the death-stroke would fall a frightful, sick despair that on the very eve of triumph, of salvation for this Folk and for the world as well as for Beatrice and himself, this unforeseen catastrophe should have befallen. He struggled still to catch some glimpse of Beatrice, to cry aloud to her, to shield her; but, alone against five hundred, he was powerless.

That was a dreadful trial to father, for she was the youngest, and his pet. And just after that, mother was taken down with her death-stroke, and a quack doctor prescribed for her, and father always thought that did her more hurt than good.
It was a horrible spectacle, the last convulsion of many that had shaken the wretched and insensible, yet still suffering clay, since it had received the death-stroke.
'The life that from Sansfoy thou tookest, Sansloy shall from thee take, cried the Paynim, and was unlacing the vizor of the fallen man to deal him his death-stroke when a cry from Una stayed his hand for a moment, though it was not her prayers for mercy that would have kept him from drawing his sword, but the sight of the hoary head beneath the helmet, which startled him.
These things inflicted fearful gashes, and, in many cases, a mere flesh-wound turned out a death-stroke. Few that got hurt in our own troop lived to tell the tale.”
