Her mother had fallen under the influence of Presbury her mother, woman-like, or rather, ladylike, was of kin to the helpless, flabby things that float in the sea and attach themselves to whatever they happen to lodge against. Her mother wished her to go!
She knew, now, the wilfulness of her sins, and the merciful interposition of the river's inviolable strength.

Woman-like, she knew what the outcome would be.
