It must be before the sun goes down.
But the weight lifted from her conscience fell more heavily upon her heart. Her nature was lively, and her spirit very high; every one had petted her, before she could have earned it by aught except childish beauty; and no one had left off doing it, when she was bound to show better claim to it.
