Although beautiful, the stamp of death is upon her.

One last gaze and it will all be over.

I am before her in her dream.

My eye is upon her in her morbid and diseased imagination, but what will the consequence be when she awakens and finds it upon her in reality ?"

Now, thought he, to secure my twelve hundred a year; now, for one glance, with the power of hell in its blighting influence, and all is over; my twelve hundred is safe to me and mine forever.
On awakening from her terrible dream, the first object that presented itself to her was the fixed gaze of that terrific eye.

It was now wrought up to such a concentration of malignity as surpassed all that even her imagination had ever formed of it.
