Welton lifted up his great rumbling voice. "O Auntie Belle!" he roared. Within the dark depths of the house life stirred. In a moment a capable and motherly woman had taken them in charge.
How long she lay in that extraordinary predicament, she was never able to tell; but the sound of the roaring waters rang in her ear for many an after day. When she ventured to raise her head, everything seemed quiet at Henderland Tower; and the silence now appeared to her more dreadful than the former excitement.
Here Dale contrived to hang until people came from the mill and fished him and his now unconscious burden out of their hazardous predicament. This little incident so stimulated Dale's servants that they began to work for him quite enthusiastically.

"I will not!" cried the Commissary. "You dare not!" answered Léon.
Human endurance will not go too far, and this was a case which required one to be in a passion one way or the other; so I feigned anger, and talked with exceeding dignity about the predicament I had been placed in the day before. "Such must always be the case," said I, "when one is weak enough to form an attachment to a lady who encourages so many others!"
His simulation had, in a word, placed him in the unlucky predicament of being rallied as a braggart amongst the dissipated youths, with whom the reality of the amour would have given him credit; whilst, on the other hand, he was branded as an inhospitable seducer by the injured husband, who was obstinately persuaded of his guilt.
"Yes, my boy, I am giving my best attention to it; all is being done that I can do. I have not come to any conclusion yet. I am neglecting nothing you said," I cried.
