I saw that to save myself was impossible, but with a superhuman effort I succeeded in slipping the noose from my hands and hooking my fingers in the cord around my throat.

Hubert had only employed the income of the entail for his own purposes during the first three years, but to cover this he had given a mortgage on the security of his share of the Courland property.

If indeed I have any share in your heart, do not wrong me by giving Satan a place there also. Let me at least respect you, James." Christine had never spoken in this way before to him; the majesty and purity of her character lifted him insensibly to higher thoughts, her gentleness soothed and comforted him.

There were light and warmth and abundance everywhere, and the child would fain have made the dog a guest honoured and feasted. But Patrasche would neither lie in the warmth nor share in the cheer. Famished he was and very cold, but without Nello he would partake neither of comfort nor food.

When they miss you there they'll try to locate you, and they'll soon trail us to these bushes." Captain James Colden had his share of pride, and much faith in himself, but he had nobility of soul, too. "I believe you implicitly, Mr. Willet," he said.
