But a vote would unsex them. Her full throat choked. She pressed her clenched fist against her chest and seemed to admonish herself that emotion wasn't her line.

Do Luther's Catholic critics mean to infer that Luther was the only monk, then or now, that felt this call which human nature issues by the ordination of the Creator? Rome can inflict celibacy even on priests that look like stall-fed oxen, but she cannot unsex men. Mohammedans are less inhuman to their eunuchs.
Our hero's mind was intent upon these phases of character always to be found, of course, in a girl who would unsex herself to the extent that Miss Grant had done, when one night a rich, full, well-modulated voice sounding over his shoulder said: "Excuse me, but Mother Mulligan tells me that you are Mr. Horn, Fred Stone's friend.
