He cackled it out with hideous energy after 'Home again, home again from a foreign shore, and said he 'wouldn't give a damn for a tug-load of such rot.

"Pardon me," he rejoined, "you forget that you and Lady Janet meet now for the first time. Try to put yourself in my aunt's place. How is she to know that you are the late Colonel Roseberry's daughter?" Grace's head sunk on her breast; she dropped into the nearest chair. The expression of her face changed instantly from anger to discouragement.

Of such substance also was this Puritan who had lost his God. A Puritan of this type is worse than the Puritan who hates pleasure because there is evil in it. This man actually hates evil because there is pleasure in it. Zola was worse than a pornographer, he was a pessimist. He did worse than encourage sin: he encouraged discouragement.
