Oh! it is a fine thing," he continued, as if following up some reflection in his mind, "to bury those we hate��deep, deep��so that they may never blast our sight again!��Byles, you perjured yourself in that affair of the buck. You swore to aid me. You had gold for the service, and yet it would have been better that the beast were still alive, than to have left it behind in the chase: it has only brought suspicion on me, and given Holgrave a fresh triumph!""Do not look on me so wildly, Margaret," said he; "these bruises are nothing. Aye, even that," as she was examining, with the apprehensions of a tender wife, the black and almost shapeless appearance of his right hand and arm; "even that would be as well as ever in less than a month��but it is their triumph and their treachery I feel: it is this that gnaws my very soul��and all because I thought myself too wise to take a woman's counsel,��and in the very prison, too, where they thrust my poor mother! I have not tasted meat or drink since I entered. There stand the water and the bread��though the burning in my throat almost drives me mad: not a drop will I taste, though the leech told me to drink as much as I could��nor a morsel will I eat."
