"Indeed, I knew that it was coming." "And she was always fearing it," said Fanny.

"But I do not think he did.
He never seems to think that evil will come to him." "He will feel this," said the rector.
"Feel it papa! Of course he will feel it." "I do not think he would--not deeply, that is--if there were four or five of them.

He is a hard man; the hardest man I ever knew.

Who ever saw him playing with his own child, or with any other?
Who ever heard him say a soft word to his wife?
But he will feel it now, for this child was his heir.

He will be hit hard now, and I pity him." Mrs.Clavering went across the park alone, and soon found herself in the poor bereaved mother's room.
