He noticed at length, now he was able to inspect her calmly, that she looked faint, pain-stricken. 'Alice told me who had written to you, Richard pursued, in his frankest tones. 'It was well she saw the letter; you might have said nothing. 'That would have been very unjust to you, said Adela in a low regular voice. 'I could only have done that if if I had believed it.
To see the pain-stricken countenance relax, and the contracted frame dilate under the kindling of intellectual fire alone to watch the infirmities of the flesh shrinking out of sight, or glorified and transfigured in the brightness of the awakening spirit is an awful object of contemplation; and in no other person did we ever witness such a distinction, nay, alienation of mind from body, such a mastery of the purely intellectual over the purely corporeal, as in the instance of this remarkable man.
Among them was a well-dressed young man, rather good-looking and of lively demeanour, who seemed to enjoy the excitement; he, after gazing fixedly at the pain-stricken face, exclaimed in a voice of wonder 'By jove! it's Humplebee! The sufferer turned towards him who spoke; his eyes brightened, for he recognised the face of Leonard Chadwick.
He had not seen her since their interview at Sally Martin's long months ago; and he felt a strong movement of compassion at the sight of the pain-stricken face which seemed to bear written on it the signs of all Janet's intervening misery. Her heart gave a great leap, as her eyes met his once more.
Waldo flung open the door, and walked out into the starlight, his pain-stricken thoughts ever driving him on as he paced there. "There must be a Hereafter because man longs for it!" he whispered.

The next night Lawrence went home with Milly Fiske from prayer meeting, taking her out from a crowd of other girls under Bessy Houghton's very eyes as she came down the steps of the little church. Bessy walked home alone. The light burned low in her sitting-room, and in the mirror over the mantel she saw her own pale face, with its tragic, pain-stricken eyes. Annie Hillis, her "help," was out.
The palace guards were approaching the low passage, and the extremity of his need steadied him; he rallied all his powers for a last effort, and, shaking off their touch, advanced into the court his face, withered and pain-stricken, might have plead for him but for the strange hardness of the lines. "It was a sudden malady that bade me seek my cell," he gasped.
And through a neglected, abandoned field of pearls and gold and precious stones, limped unchallenged the tireless figure of "Soapy" Shay, diamond thief, a bloody bandage about his head, an exalted light in his pain-stricken eyes. His one-time captor lay stark and cold in the gruesome line in the bow of the boat.
