But as soon as she saw the crowd of people at Fenchurch Street station and a chalked notice, "Boat train for the R.M.S. Oriana," she forgot abstract worries.
He is but delicate at the best, and what with the effects of his late injuries, I fear that the restraint of a prison may go ill with him." "How unnatural is this strife that makes us sorrow for our foes no less than for our friends?" said Oriana. "I seem to be living in a strange clime, and in an age that has passed away. And how long can friendship endure this fiery ordeal?
Then it dawned on her that they were under weigh that the heart she felt beating was the ship's engines, and that the extraordinary behaviour of the shore was because the Oriana was going out with the tide. She wondered then why she had come, and felt very frightened and lonely.
And, then, when all was done, and fires were kindled, and the frugal evening meal was finished, it was pleasant to sit with Oriana beneath the lofty trees, whose smooth straight trunks rose like stately columns, and to watch the glancing beams of the setting sun as they shone on the varied foliage now tinted with all the hues of autumn, and listen to the sighing of the evening breeze, that made solemn music while it swept through the forest.
It was unusual to her, and he forgot her weariness and the trial she had passed. He had been binding some linen about Arthur's shoulder, and he looked up and spoke to her in a less gentle tone. "Oriana, you are a child to-night. I have never seen you thus. Come, help me with this bandage." She sighed heavily, but immediately ceased to weep, and said "Yes," calmly and with firmness.

They would have gone without an interview with Oriana, but that would have seemed strange to Beverly. However, Oriana, although pale and nervous, met them in the morning with more composure than they had anticipated. Harold, just before starting, drew her aside, and placed the letter in her hand. "That will tell you all I would say, and you must read it when your heart is strong and firm.
"The government against which you would rebel," said Harold, "contemplates no interference with your slaves." "Why, Mr. Hare," rejoined Oriana, warmly, "we of the South can see the spirit of abolitionism sitting in the executive chair, as plainly as we see the sunshine on an unclouded summer day.
Louis had been in twice to the store lately, and had actually remembered the seed-cake on the Oriana when he saw caraway seeds in the store. He volunteered the information that there was whisky for sale at the store, but did not mention whether he had wanted to buy it or not. He got up, taking the mattock. Marcella began to fight a great stem running along the ground.
But tell me, he added as they returned together to where Oriana lay, still unconscious of the dreadful tragedy that had just been enacted so near her tell me, my friend, how it was that you were so near at hand, when danger, which I could not repel, hung over me, and your hand was interposed to save me?
