His face was contorted with intense agony. Each word was like a nail driven into his flesh. Crucified upon the cross of his own affection by the hand he loved, all white and trembling he stood there. Tears rushed to his eyes, but he could not weep. Dry-eyed he reached his room and threw himself upon his bed. Thus he lay uncomforted and alone.
She wept till she could weep no more, and the nightmare of suspense settled on her heart in the form of dry-eyed suffering.

She was dry-eyed now, for she had known how it would be. That night we received permission from the authorities to move on board the Eastern Star.
