Wallace was not aware that he had killed the Governor of Ayr till the terror-struck exclamations of his enemies informed him that the ruthless instigator of the massacre was slain. This event was welcome news to the Scots; and hoping that the next death would be that of De Valence, they pressed on with redoubled energy.
Almost at the same moment there was another flare behind the glass of the door; she heard the sound of unlatching; the flare expired. She was absolutely terror-struck now. The door opened, grating on some dirt or gravel. "Who's there?" demanded a queer, shaking voice. She could see his form. "Me!" she answered, in a harsh tone which was the expression of her dismay.
But he is a noble fellow, and all will be right in the end. Adieu, you best and dearest of all men; continue to love me. Your BERNE, August 25th, 1853.

Trudaine's ear could detect even the faintest sound in the echoing prison region outside his cell.

There is a sudden terror-struck misgiving on the beautiful face of Gwen, and an uneasy note of doubt in her mother's voice, seeking by vague speech to elude and slur over the difficulty.
