fore, but now that 1t had been present

revealed her whole feeling, so far as
the king was concerned, in her speech

springs within her soul which she did
not then dare to touch; but in her own
soul, unsupported and uninfiuenced py
other causes than such as spring from
reason and reflection, had grown fear
of Horam, and a terror Of being his
wife. She had dreamed of poor Helena

day came; and she had resolved that
she would not marry with the old king
