Do you think me capable of wronging her and you in the way you suspected ?' 'I was wrong.

I was unjust to you.' Grail could suffer jealousy, but was incapable of malice.

The stab of the revelation that had been made might go through and through his heart, but the wound would breed no evil humours.

He made his admission with the relief which comes of recovered self-respect.
'Thank you for that, Grail,' Walter replied, moved as a gentle nature always is by magnanimity.
After another pause, he said: 'May I ask you anything more about her?
Had she money?
Could she have gone far ?' 'At most she had a few pence.' 'Did she leave no written word ?' 'Yes.

She wrote something for her sister.' Walter hesitated.
