No power on earth could restore the peace you have destroyed. I will escape from my torture. When you read this, I shall be no more. But the triumph shall no longer be yours—the draught you have drank was given by the hand of the injured，"To ask the question is a rudeness," she says, steadily, though her heart is cold and hurt. "Yet I will answer you.
