"Father," said Jacopo, with earnestness, "I may deserve the word; but the angels in Heaven are scarce purer than this weeping girl!" "I rejoice to hear it. I will believe thee, unfortunate man, and glad am I that thy soul is relieved from the sin of having corrupted one so youthful." The bosom of the prisoner heaved, while Gelsomina shuddered.
Suddenly he lifted his head, his eyes glowed like fire, and his chest heaved like a woman's. He scanned the wall for an instant, then turning, retreated a few yards towards the centre of the grounds.
For after a long and desperate fight, with the water rising higher about his lips, the unfortunate black had grown weaker and weaker, and at last had given one tremendous plunge, which raised him high, so that he could glare wildly round for help; then he had ceased his struggle and gone slowly down, the water closing over his staring eyes and glistening teeth; there were a few bubbles, and the sea heaved and fell gently over the spot where he sank.
He was on a sorrowful mission, now, and his face was the picture of woe.

She gazed upon them with a look of vacancy thrice sorrowfully waved her hand, in token that they should leave her; for their words fell upon her heart like dew upon a furnace. Silently she arose and left them, and reaching her cottage, threw herself upon her bed in bitterness. She shed no tears; neither did she groan, but her bosom heaved with burning agony.
As he leaned upon a thick oaken cudgel his shoulders heaved in the effort to draw the air into his lungs.
