Each wind to her was intimate as a friend, each rock and cave familiar as her hearthstone; and the ungoverned ocean spoke in terms intelligible.

After having been witness to these infamous actions, he continued, "I believed all women to be naturally lewd; and that they could not resist their inclination.
If a woman who had always gratified her love of admiration, and gloried in the power of gratifying it who conquered men and loved to conquer them who was a woman of ungoverned will and indomitable pride, should encounter as how often they do? a man who utterly conquered her, and betrayed her through the very weakness that springs from pride, do you not see that such a woman would go near to insanity as I have been believing that I had committed the unpardonable sin, and that no punishment could be painful enough?"
