Constantine, to know that the child to whom I gave life regards me with abhorrence, is dreadful is beyond even the anxious partiality of a mother either to excuse or to palliate!" "Perhaps, dear Lady Tinemouth, you misjudge Lord Harwold; he may be under the commands of his father, and yet yearn to show you his affection and duty."
She desired that half of them might be given with her blessing, to her daughter, and the other half, with her pardon, to her son." "Tell me. Dr. Cavendish," cried the earl, as Thaddeus was passing him to leave the room, "who is that insolent fellow? By heaven, he shall smart for this!" "Ay, that he shall," rejoined Lord Harwold, "if I have any interest with the Alien-office." Dr.
Lord Harwold tore his open, cast his eyes over the first words, then crumpling it in his hand, threw it from him, exclaiming, "I am not to be frightened either by her arts or the falsehoods of the fellows with whom she dishonored her name."

"When an English nobleman forgets that he is a son, he deserves reproach from his meanest vassal." "You see, my lord," cried Harwold, sliding behind his father, "what we bring on ourselves by harboring these democratic foreigners!
In the paroxysm of his rage, he flew to the earl his grandfather, upbraided him with the ruin of his happiness, and so exasperated the old man, that he drew his sword upon him; and had it not been for the interference of his father, Lord Harwold, who happened to enter at the moment, a most fatal catastrophe might have ensued.
