"From your uncle, from my uncle,—Sir Rowland Trenchard. A strange betrothal!—the primal idea of which was escape! The girl, intent upon
abrogating for ever all legal rights of the father in the daughter, of rendering
innocuous the thing she had now named the Terror: the boy, seeking selfcrucifixion in expiation of his transgression, changing a peccadillo into
damnation!
It was easy for Ruth to surrender to the idea, for she believed she was loved; and
in gratitude it was already her determination to give this boy her heart's blood,
drop by drop, if he wanted it. Ladders, paviour's rams, sledge-hammers, and
other destructive implements were procured, and, in all probability, their purpose
would have been effected, but for the opportune arrival of a detachment of the
guards, who dispersed them, not without some loss of life. The door opened. There are so many things I want to tell
you, and they stand on such different levels, that the effect is necessarily
confusing and discordant, and I find myself doubting if I am really giving you
the thread of emotion that should run through all this letter. "
