With throbbing pulse, Hope felt the small revolver hidden within her dress, undoing a button so that, in emergency, she might grasp it more quickly. Hawley felt the movement, the trembling of her arm. "You are afraid, just the same," he said, pressing her to him lover-like. "Darkness always gets on a woman's nerves." "Yes, that and loneliness," resenting his familiarity.
He expressed his readiness to obey her commands, but nevertheless implored his dread sovereign to take merciful consideration of the manifold misfortunes, ruin, and utter undoing, which thereby should fall upon him and his unfortunate family.
He looked, and saw into the future, while Pitt and his supporters had no vision at all.

Emma, suddenly filled with fear, asked: "Why not?" The old woman sat down familiarly beside her and took her hand. "It was the undoing of my life," she said. My friend wanted to hear about it.

"It is indeed a terrible thought! And even the smallest wrong is, perhaps, too awful a thing for created being ever to set right again." "You mean it takes God to do that?" "I do."
