A boat came rapidly towards them, ferried by the wrathful Phlegyas; who cried out, "Aha, felon! and so thou hast come at last!" "Thou errest," said Virgil. "We come for no longer time than it will take thee to ferry us across thy pool."
Hear me, felon, go again where I before sent thee." "To the Steward?" "Ay; and tell him, Elshender the Recluse commands him to give thee gold. But, hear me, let the maiden be discharged free and uninjured; return her to her friends, and let her swear not to discover thy villainy." "Swear," said Westburnflat; "but what if she break her aith?

"Atone for the past!" cried Joseph Wilmot. "Can you make me an honest man, or a respectable member of society? Can you remove the stamp of the felon from me, and win for me the position I might have held in this hard world but for you? Can you give me back the five-and-thirty blighted years of my life, and take the blight from them?
