Kendi düşüncelerim beni endişelendiriyordu. Bu izole malikanede vücut bulmuş suç neydi ki, sahibince ne kovulabiliyor ne de dizginlenebiliyordu? Gecenin en karanlık saatlerinde, bazen ateşle, bazen kanla patlayan bu sır neydi?

“Jane, daha önce omzunu bana vermiştin; şimdi onu almak istiyorum.” “Evet, efendim, evet; kolumu da verebilirim.” Oturdu ve beni yanına oturttu. Ellerimi kendi elleriyle kavrayıp ovuşturdu; bana bakarken gözleri en karışık ve kasvetli ifadeyi taşıyordu. “Küçük arkadaşım!” dedi, “Keşke yalnız seninle olabileceğim sakin bir adada olsaydım; bütün dertler, tehlikeler ve korkunç hatıralar benden uzak olsaydı.” […]

The library looked tranquil enough as I entered it, and the Sibyl— if Sibyl she were—was seated snugly enough in an easy-chair at the chimney-corner.
