Jesus! what availeth wit, when it fails the owner at greatest need?
It is true I faulted, but she doth not consider what commodities she hath withal, and herself no way engaged for it, as Mr. Davison might have better declared it, if it had pleased him.
The strata were flexured, folded, and often faulted and fissured along lines ranging north and south, the great fault of the Jordan-Arabah valley being the most important.

From Virginia far into Alabama the great Appalachian valley was opened to a width in places of fifty miles and more, along a belt of intensely folded and faulted strata where once was the heart of the Appalachian Mountains.

No one can doubt this who has seen the extraordinary degradation going on still about the summits, or who remembers that the strata, whether tertiary or lower chalk, have been, over the greater part of the island, upheaved, faulted, set on end, by the convulsions seemingly so common during the Miocene epoch, and since then sawn away by water and air into one rolling outline, quite independent of the dip of the strata.
'Willingly, and not ignorantly, in this kind have I faulted, is the answer Webster gives to such as may object that he has not constructed his plays upon the classic model.
I have judged her too hastily; she has therefore a right to deem of me too harshly. But tell me at least in what I have faulted."
