But the space has been too closely built; many of the houses front the wrong way, intent, like the Man with the Muck-Rake, on what is not worth observation, and standing discourteously back-foremost in the ranks; and, in a word, it is too often only from attic-windows, or here and there at a crossing, that you can get a look beyond the city upon its diversified surroundings.
"You mean that if I can prove the truth of my story, nothing will be made public about my the affair in Nashville?" "Absolutely. Because you have treated me discourteously, Lawrence I don't consider myself justified in injuring your reputation. I am after the person or persons responsible for the death of Roland Warren.

I almost pitied her when I saw her looking so utterly desolate and despairing; her beauty too had faded, deep lines cut through her face. But when I entered she knew who I was, and her look of intense hatred was so fiend-like, that it changed my pity into horror of her. "Knight", she said "who are you, and what do you want, thus discourteously entering my chamber?"
