“The umbrella blew away, Mother, and the boat is lost, too.” He mused upon this scheme, and the more he accustomed his mind to contemplate it, the less scrupulous he became.

The fury of his passions, unaccustomed to resistance, uniting with the force of what ambition termed necessity—urged him to the deed, and he determined upon the murder of his wife. The means of effecting his purpose were easy and various; but as he was not yet so entirely hardened as to be able to view her dying pangs, and embrue his own hands in her blood, he chose to dispatch her by means of poison, which he resolved to mingle in her food. “Who were they?”.
