Nobody's studied my depths closer.

There's no bridge for the great distance between us, sir, and clearest of all, I'm for realizing it: but she risked terrible things when she came to me among that gang of thieves.
She wore herself past bearing to save me from such an easy thing as death! Now, here's me, a man, a big, strong man, and letting her live under that fearful oath, so worse than any death 'twould be for her, and lifting not a finger to save her.

I cannot hear it, sir.

It's killing me by inches! Black Jack's hand may not have been hurt so bad.
