His look said: "So you are the same as the rest! But in case you're lying, I sha'n't be thrown off guard." The girl felt physically sick as she understood the irrevocability of what she had just said, and the way in which her words were construed. If she could have waited, "Nelson Smith" might have saved himself without compromising her, for he was above all things resourceful.
I think it was the look of the helmet which gave her that sinking feeling of irrevocability which seems to sever you, as with a sword, from all the dear little safe things that have made up your life in the past.

Lamb has other references to Blakesware and the irrevocability of his happiness there as a child, in his letters.

And, accepting his doom, sheer childishness overcame him.
She lay on the sofa with her face to the wall, fingering the buttons of the leather cushion and seeing nothing but that cushion, and her confused thoughts were centered on one subject the irrevocability of death and her own spiritual baseness, which she had not suspected, but which had shown itself during her father's illness.
Now you know all all that I can ever tell you." "Who is it?" The question leaped from her, and Garth's answer came with an irrevocability of refusal there was no combating.
