"He did not promise anything," said Maggie. Edward turned sharply to her, and looked at her. Then he went and took hold of her wrists with no gentle grasp, and spoke to her through his set teeth.

I will do what is right, by God's help." "As if it was not right--and such can't--to save your brother," said he, throwing her hands away in a passionate manner. "I must be alone," said Maggie, rising, and trying to stand steadily in the reeling room.
