Mrs M'Swat was faithful to him, contented and good-natured, and bore uncomplainingly, year after year, that most cruelly agonising of human duties childbirth, and did more for her nation and her Maker than I will ever be noble enough to do. But I could not help it that their life was warping my very soul.
But now, after a moment of receptive silence, indignation again seemed to seize her. "It's false!" she exclaimed. "No it ain't false, Mercedes, and you know it ain't," said Mrs. Talcott gloomily. "False, and absolutely false!" Madame von Marwitz repeated. "How could I keep my mouth shut as you delicately put it when I saw that Karen saw? How keep my mouth shut without warping her relation to me?
This was a distinct change for the better, as continually warping the wings by bending down the extremities of the rear spars was bound in time to produce 'fatigue' in that member and lead to breakage; and the practice became completely obsolete during the next two or three years.

Of the four hours' private conference that ensued with Napoleon we have but scanty records, and those by Haugwitz himself, who had every reason for warping the truth. He states that he was received with icy coldness, and at once saw that the least threat of hostile pressure by Prussia would drive Napoleon to make a separate peace with Austria.
He was closely followed by a good able seaman, who did all he could to keep up his spirits and assist him in warping.
He encouraged my boyish scorn of girls and courting and did not oppose my partiality for boy friendships. The terrible risk I thereby ran of warping my sound and natural instinct and thus making myself unhappy for life, he did not seem to see, and when the time came to enlighten me in this regard he neglected to do so.
The words were meaningless beside this warping, this tearing apart of spirit and mind those precious children of his brain limb from limb. Their shrieks for help! their cries of anguish and horror! their clutches! their last spasmodic despairing weakening embrace! He would hold them! His clasp would defy all the powers of Earth and Air!
