I am a broken-down man! If Harry goes away again without my seeing him I don't want to live another day.

When Alec came running back last night and told me that I had cursed my son to his face, I nearly went out of my mind.

I knew when I saw Alec's anger that it was true, and I knew, too, what a brute I had been.

I ran to Annie's room, took her in my arms, and asked her pardon.
All night I walked my room; at daylight I rang for Alec, sent for Matthew, and he hooked up the carryall and we came in here.

Annie wanted to come with me, but I wouldn't let her.
