Morgan's heart, and found its resting-place in Sydney's breast instead. He woke to find himself soaked with the sweat of exhaustion. The cloud of that day on the mountain still clung around his fancy as he went out upon the street again. A horrible something, as penetrable as mist, as keen as the sting of conscience, as inevitable as the burden of life, seemed to inwrap him.
The weapon which you claim to wield is one that a good God and a beneficent Creator would never intrust to the keeping of a mere creature. What, sir! create a world as grand and beautiful as this, and hide within its bosom a principle that at any moment might inwrap it in flames, and sink all life in death?

She was now all the time aware of a weight, an oppression, which seemed to belong to the task, but was in reality her self-dissatisfaction.
"When first I saw him, graceful in his might, He looked far other than a Tartar knight; Wondering I gazed now Destiny has thrown Him on thy sword he fought, and he is gone; And should even Heaven against the earth be hurled, Or fire inwrap in crackling flames the world, That which is past we never can restore, His soul has travelled to some happier shore.
