The Rector's solemn tones awed Sabina into momentary quiescence, and reached even the dying woman's dulled ears.

It had been his fault, this great necessity that Frank should marry money; and now it was his fault that Frank was absolutely talking of marrying a pauper. By no means in quiescence did the squire hear these charges brought against him.
