He had entered the court-room as James Gathorne Kerry, and he was leaving it as Shiel Crozier; and somehow James Gathorne Kerry had always been to himself a different man from Shiel Crozier, with different views, different feelings, if not different characteristics.
When you get used to them, you will communicate with them, and learn from them all you want to know." "Shall we try?" Gladys remarked laughingly to Shiel, as they stepped into the street. "But if faith is essential to success, I fear failure, as far as I am concerned, is a foregone conclusion. I know I shouldn't have sufficient faith." "Nor I either," Shiel said.
'The action, he said, 'ought never to have been brought it was sublimely ridiculous to accuse any one of being in league with forces in the existence of which no sane person could possibly believe." Shiel was in despair. All chance of saving Gladys seemed to be fast disappearing. He telephoned to her, and was answered by Miss Templeton.
When broad daylight came she felt as though her bones were water and her body a wisp of straw. She could not bear to meet Shiel Crozier's eyes, and thus it was she had an early breakfast on the plea that she had ironing to do.

It is no exaggeration to say that Shiel would have lain down and died for Gladys ten times over. For her sake if only to see her smile, no mere physical pain would have been too excruciating for him to bear.
