He hears the word "again" with a strange sinking of the heart.

I did not notice her the other night," says Mona.，There is a ghostly tapping (as of some departed spirit who would fain enter once again into the old halls so long forgotten) against the window pane.

When he looked out over it, his heart almost stopped. Never before had any one seen such a great water. The other side could not be seen and there was no end to it. Scarface sat down on the shore.
