Her inner nature was expressed in the sequence of her emotions.

Her first feeling was one of her own fault.
The sight of Harold and his proximity recalled to her vividly how he had refused to go into the crypt, and how she had intentionally deceived him, negatively, as to her intention of doing that of which he disapproved.
Her second feeling was one of justice; and was perhaps partially evoked by the sight of Leonard, who followed close as Harold brought her to the door.

She did not wish to speak of herself or Harold before him; but she did not hesitate to speak of him to Harold: 'You must not blame Leonard.

It was all my fault.

I made him come!' Her generosity appealed to Harold.
