"Revenge urged her to undue and overhasty punishment; her overcharged feelings sought relief on some object, and a stout-handled broom was in her grasp. At last vengeance was within her reach; should she relinquish it? No, a thousand times no! "'You dirty brute! she yelled, in fury. 'You hold rascal, I'll pay you out! I'll murder you! I'll kill you!
