"And you do not look for any reward of your services, of course?" "I wish for none, sir, but her relief." "Well, it don't signify," said Thorn with a mixture of expressions in his face, "if I believed you, which I don't, it don't signify a hair what you do, when once this matter is known. I should never think of advancing my pretensions into a felon's family."
He lay in a felon's dungeon in a foreign land, for lack of devotion to kingcraft, and could not return to France because he loved humanity too well. Was it not hard? France has never been just to her great men. She welcomes to her bosom her most dangerous citizens, and casts out the true and the noble. She did so when she sent Lafayette away.
A felon's death would have been very bitter, and for my mother's sake I rejoice." "Not for your own?" "I have lost all that made life sweet. My wife is in heaven. For me earth holds nothing but penitence and remorse." "I am not so sure about that. I have better news for you even than the news I have told. My dear friend, can you bear a great shock a shock of joy?"
Tell me, Monsieur John; was it nasty bitter?" "Good Lord!" I groaned; "are you a woman, or a fiend?" "Either, or both, as you like to hold me, sir. But come what might, I said you should not die a felon's death. And you have not, as yet." "Better a thousand times the rope and tree than that I should rot by inches here with you to sit by and gird at me.
I am now pleading for hundreds of young men who are in prison for the first time, and have all the punishment along this line they desire, who would like to reform and become useful citizens. But how can they accomplish this? Unaided they will come out of the prison, drift about awhile, and then the current of sin and crime will bear them back again to a felon's cell.
We would have you tell the professed Christians of that land, that if they would be respected by you, they must separate themselves from the unholy alliance with men who are daily committing deeds which, if done in England, would cause the perpetrator to be sent to a felon's doom; that they must refuse the right hand of Christian fellowship, whether individually or collectively, to those implicated, in any way, in the guilt of slavery.
I have information that the most powerful and richest organizations in this state have bound themselves together for our destruction, and that at this very moment there is a Pinkerton detective, one Birdy Edwards, at work in the valley collecting the evidence which may put a rope round the necks of many of us, and send every man in this room into a felon's cell.
"You see this!" he continued, holding up his bandaged and blood-stained arm: "the wound was received in defending your cause; and I have but this moment come from the felon's hold where I passed the night, for the part I took in the affray. Now, have I not earned the right to be heard?"
"God of Justice, I sighed, send your Spirit down On those lords so cruel and proud, And soften their hearts, and relax their frown, Or else, I cried aloud, Vouchsafe Thy strength to the peasant's hand To drive them at length from out the land." He had not gone farther than the writer of these lines, and now, he said, they might send him to a felon's doom if they liked.
You can also first file your written consent to the immediate marriage of your ward, Nadine Fraser Johnstone, to myself, and apply to have your accounts passed and approved upon your discharge as guardian upon her marriage. This alone will save you from a felon's cell. She shall be free. Douglas Fraser may be made the sole trustee of her estate until the age of twenty-one.
