Her wonderful eyes haunted him their questing despair, the strange pain that seemed to burn like glowing coals in their depths. He had seen not only misery and hopelessness in them; he had seen tragedy; and they troubled him.
"'What would the faculty of Jay think of their Seymour, could they but gaze upon him now? What would my pupils say? I sat on the side, and in the middle of the bed, in despair longing for something to smoke!
