With her story of her devotion to the man loving her, the world would know her for the heroine she was: a born lady, in appearance and manner an empress among women. It was a story to be pleaded in any court, before the sternest public. Mrs. Burman had thrown her into temptation's way.
"Some time later, due to the lack of funds, the hospital had to be closed for some time, but when it was reopened, the old mother pleaded that the son should be taken on as a coolie to work for his keep, and thus be out of temptation's way. He had been supplied again with money and put into the hospital, from which he came out apparently cured, but fell again.
Four years of this dreadful experience, in which she three times received serious personal injuries from his hands, and then the old home was broken up, and he went drifting from place to place, a human ship without a rudder on temptation's stormy sea; his unhappy wife following him, more or less, in secret, and often doing him service and securing his protection.
At these words, as if the priest's hand had been stretched across the earth and sea and laid on the thief's head, he fell down upon his knees with his back toward the scene of burglary and his face toward England, crying out, "I will, your reverence. I am! Lord, help me!" cried he, then first remembering how he had been told to pray in temptation's hour.
"Whatever you do, don't grow poetical about it. You know it is said somewhere, that mischief is found for idle hands to do." "All right, father. I'll keep clear of poetry leave all that sort o' nonsense to you. I'll "I'll flee Temptation's siren voice, Throw poesy to the crows, And let my soul's ethereal fire Gush out in sober prose."

He stopped and pressed his hands together; he had caught his Temptation in the very act. Now he sat staring at his Temptation's face, close to him, while then in the triangle two ships went sailing by. One morning Felipe told him that the barkentine was here on its return voyage south. "Indeed." said the Padre, coldly. "The things are ready to go, I think."
"D'ye know, I believe you are not far wrong," said Simkin, gravely; "and it is encouraging to know that Temptation's out o' the way, for I feel that the other devil has got me by the throat even now, and that it's him as has weakened me so much." "That's it, friend. You've got the truth by the tail now, so hold on; but, at the same time, don't be too hard on Craving.
And she charged upon them again, brandishing a dry stick which she had picked up by the roadside. In spite of herself Molly laughed as she clutched her friend firmly by the elbow and dragged her onward, out of temptation's way. "You'll have the jailer and the fire department out after you," she said, as she guided Polly's erring footsteps back into the concrete path of virtue. "Do come along!
But my love for her was stronger and deeper-rooted than ever, and I still adhered to my resolution to take myself out of temptation's way at the first opportunity to begin a new life in the wilderness or the towns of Lower Canada.
