"I should perfectly have hated it. But I should never have forgiven myself if he had gone away with the will."，“No, I’ve got something I must tell you.”，Some liberty has been taken with the original text, chiefly to eliminate circumstances or incidents which would not be clear to child readers in a different environment; but I have taken pains to keep the translation faithful to the original in spirit and expression, appreciating that in these lies much of the wholesome power of the book.，"Implicitly! I tell you she is ignorant and superstitious. Come what may, she is convinced that your marriage with Isabella means her own death; so you may rest assured, Maurice, that she will never, never accept you as her son-in-law."Sir William, however, was a man not in the habit of taking long or deep views.
