Now he felt that, quite apart from his own personal ground of resentment, he had done wrong to the laws of his country by aiding an offender of them to escape and elude the just penalty.

He felt almost a contempt for Roland Sefton that he had not remained to bear the consequences of his crime.
The news of Roland's death brought something like satisfaction to his mind; there was a chill, dejected sense of justice having been done.

He had not prospered in his crime.

Though he had eluded man's judgment, yet vengeance had not suffered him to live.

There was no relenting toward him, as there was in Mr.Clifford's mind.
