However, while I was talking to her, she suddenly produced a phial of the devil-stick poison and threw it in my face.

It is gone. What has become of it?","Mrs. Dallas stole the devil-stick," resumed Jen, imperturbably, "and gave it to Dido, who, by your directions, filled it with fresh poison. Dido gave the newly-prepared weapon of death to you, and with it you killed my poor boy at the very gates of the girl he loved.",I stopped on next to the bottom step in the wide old hall and called Tom to turn out the light for me, as Jane had gone out.,"Yet you risked death for the same woman.",Margaret Howes glanced at Elinor, as she sat quietly with chin in one pink palm, her brows drawn level and her dark eyes steady and thoughtful.,Overflows with shadows deep;,"Because I had one, Dido.",It's my duty to look the matter in the face before I look in Alfred's—and decide.
