Then she laid her hand softly on Ormond's arm, and said: "You are not a wreck far from it. You sit alone too much, and I am afraid that what I have thoughtlessly said has added to your troubles." The girl paused in her talk, but after a moment added: "Don't you think you could walk the deck for a little?"
As he rose from his knees, after making this prayer and this vow, he was surprised to see standing beside him Lady Annaly she had made a sign to the sick man not to interrupt Ormond's devotion by any exclamation at her entrance. "Be not disturbed let me not feel that I embarrass you, Mr. Ormond," said she: "I came here not to intrude upon your privacy.

The election was decided in favour of humanity and justice. Florence was deputed to tell the decision to the successful little candidate, who was waiting, with his companions, to hear his fate.
The first, a Puritan, and almost a regicide, held office but a few months; the second, a cavalier and a friend of toleration, for two years; while Essex, one of those fair-minded but yielding characters, known in the next reign as "Trimmers," petitioned for his own recall and Ormond's restoration, in 1676.

Now that she knows nothing of the matter, we are all safe, and as we should be." Though Clarence Hervey did not at this time foresee any great probability of his changing his mind, yet he felt the good sense and justice of Mrs. Ormond's suggestions; and he was alarmed to perceive that his mind had been so intoxicated as to suffer such obvious reflections to escape his attention.
