He spoke inexorably, but with such a world of love in his voice that the long-pent tears came with a rush. He let her weep. He felt it would do her good. And, after a while, when her sobs had ceased, he urged her again. "Tell me," he whispered. The man waited with wonderful patience. "Oh, don't don't make me!" she cried. "Yes, I must." And at last her answer came in the faintest of whispers.
Her voice broke in desperate sobs and long-pent misery found relief. She sank into her chair. "I asked for no reconciliation," said Karen. "I left him and we knew that we were parting forever. There is no love between us. Have you no understanding at all, and no thought of my pride?" It was woman addressing woman. The child Karen was gone. "Your pride?" Madame von Marwitz repeated in her sobs.
There was no hesitation or awkwardness about him now, the greatness of his long-pent passion inspired him, and he told her all without let or stop all that he had suffered for her sake throughout those lonely years, all his wretched hopelessness, keeping nothing back.
Madame Prune, no longer able to make a mystery of the long-pent up feelings that agitate her, pays me the most marked and tender attentions, and begs my acceptance of a quantity of little souvenirs: an image, a little vase, a little porcelain goddess of the moon in Satsuma ware, a marvellously grotesque ivory figure; I tremblingly follow her into the dark corners whither she calls me to give me these presents in tete- a-tete.
"What?" shouted Wolfe, fiercely, his lurid and vindictive eye flashing with the released fire of long-pent and cherished passions. "Or," answered Clarence, calmly, "I will hinder you from committing murder." At that instant the watchman's voice was heard, and the night's guardian himself was seen hastening from the far end of the street towards the place of contest.
When her husband entered to bid her adieu, and the final petition for public acknowledgment was once more sternly denied, the long-pent agony in the woman's heart burst all barriers, overflowed every dictate of wounded pride, and with an utter abandon of genuine poignant grief, she gave way to a storm that shook her frame with convulsive sobs, and deluged her cheeks with tears.
She was tired out at last, footsore, and hardly able to move a limb, when Dermot almost lifted her into the carriage, the dreadful, hard self-control all over now, when, in those long lanes, with the Maybushes meeting overhead, she leant against me and sobbed with long-pent anguish, while her brother walked at the pony's head.
Then the storm broke, and the lightning blazed, and the thunders of the house uttered their voice, while Larry, amazed, horrified, gradually, as the invective gathered volume and venom, becoming angry, stood in silence, and received in a single cloud-burst the bitter flood of long-pent prejudice, jealousy, and sense of injury. "Dead!"
With this dream of vent for a long-pent consciousness, I walked again amid the crowds. At last, one weary day in the schoolroom, a new idea presented itself to me. It was a new way of solving the problem of my inner self. I liked it. Thus I resigned my position as teacher; and now I am in an Eastern city, following the long course of study I have set for myself.
They had for the time forgotten him, they had forgotten everything in the wild moment of long-pent passions unloosed the danger which overhung them, their past trials, their half-starved bodies, their recent sufferings. These things were thrust behind them, they were of the past.
