I have little doubt that their final sentence was in fact pronounced by the pope. The oaths of a great many are in Rymer, Vol.
She knew not how to enter upon what she had to say. To talk of the law and use threats in this atmosphere of serene domesticity seemed impossibly harsh. But the necessity of broaching the disagreeable subject was spared her.
