The squire was shocked at the hard-heartedness, as he considered it; but the old man himself had received much tender kindness in action from his daughter-in-law; and what she had just said was no more news to him than the fact that the sun would rise to-morrow.

It's not knowledge, but hard-heartedness that makes the unwomanly woman." She glanced up and met Norris' eyes.
