The schoolmaster, during the whole of this scene, had been completely bewildered, until the idea of his grandchild's danger, or disappearance, he knew not which, took possession of his mind ; and, filled with the single thought his faculties had...
Seite 32 - The clergyman proceeded to interrogate the prisoner, but he answered nothing, keeping his eyes intently fixed upon his wife and child. In the meantime, the officers of justice had been prompt in the execution of their duty : the Smiths were apprehended in the village ; and the greater portion of the property stolen from Sir Thomas Purcel was found in the hut where Grace had beheld it concealed.

Seite 29 - ... as sure as you are a living woman, you shall repent of this !
