Of course the woman well knew that life at Wych Elm would be far more unrestful with Jane than without her, and so she rather took the maiden's view and tried to make John see it might be better if his girl was to leave 'em.

Outwardly I was frivolous; inwardly I was no butterfly, the deep things of my nature were by no means unknown to me.

But there is something fine in the sudden passing away of these hearts from the extremity of struggle and stress and tremendous uproar from the vast, unrestful rage of the surface to the profound peace of the depths, sleeping untroubled since the beginning of ages.
What was really wrong with him was that he had these qualities in an unrestful degree. His eternally watchful demeanour, his jerky, nervous talk, even his, as it were, determined silences, seemed to imply and, I believe, they did imply that to his mind the ship was never safe in my hands.
