Foul Play

CHAPTER II
13/15

Give me hopes of you; begin your repentance where now you stand, by blaming yourself, and no other man.

No man constrained you to utter a forged note, and to receive the money; it was found in your possession.

For such an act there can be no defense in law, morality, or religion." These words overpowered the culprit.

He burst out crying with great violence.
But it did not last long.
