"I've just recollected that my husband left a key with me, which he charged me to give you when I could find an opportunity. He saw what he had done only as it related to Ruth. That he should pay forty pounds to help this girl who preferred another man was no less in his eyes than a fraud and mockery that made her denial a maddening and outrageous disgrace to him. ’ Fire enveloped Charvill’s mind and he brought up his cane, pointed like a musket. The report of his detention caused an immense sensation. ‘But for how long?’ Lady Bicknacre asked apprehensively. ’ ‘So would you run away,’ she uttered impulsively. ’ To his intense satisfaction, mademoiselle burst into laughter. Dare we look back upon the darkened vista, and, in imagination retrace the path we have trod? With how many vain hopes is it shaded! with how many good resolutions, never fulfilled, is it paved! Where are the dreams of ambition in which, twelve years ago, we indulged? Where are the aspirations that fired us—the passions that consumed us then? Has our success in life been commensurate with our own desires—with the anticipations formed of us by others? Or, are we not blighted in heart, as in ambition? Has not the loved one been estranged by doubt, or snatched from us by the cold hand of death? Is not the goal, towards which we pressed, further off than ever—the prospect before us cheerless as the blank behind?—Enough of this.
