If it was old Mr. Furnival I shouldn't like them to turn him out of this house when he was in such a state as that." "Poor Mr. Furnival; no; I think he would bear it worse than Felix." "Then why should he go? And why should you look at me in that way?"
And when standing there in the Court, with that terrible array around me, with the eyes of all men on me, the eyes of men who thought that I had been guilty of so terrible a crime, for the sake of that child who was so weak I could be brave. But it nearly killed me. Mr. Furnival, I could not go through that again; no, not even for his sake.
