THE wretched wife of the innocent man thus doomed1 to die, under the sentence, as if she had been mortally stricken. But, she uttered no sound; and so strong was the voice within her, representing that it was she of all the world who must uphold him in his misery2 and not augment3 it, that it quickly raised her, even from that shock.
The judges having to take part in a public demonstration4 out of doors, the tribunal adjourned5. The quick noise and movement of the court's emptying itself by many passages had not ceased, when Lucie stood stretching out her arms towards her husband, with nothing in her face but love and consolation6.
`If I might touch him! If I might embrace him once! O, good citizens, if you would have so much compassion7 for us!'
There was but a gaoler left, along with two of the four men who had taken him last night, and Barsad. The people had all poured out to the show in the streets. Barsad proposed to the rest, `Let her embrace him then; it is but a moment.' It was silently acquiesced8 in, and they passed her over the seats in the hall to a raised place, where he, by leaning over the dock, could fold her in his arms.
`Farewell, dear darling of my soul. My parting blessing9 on my love. We shall meet again, where the weary are at rest!'
They were her husband's words, as he held her to his bosom10.
`I can bear it, dear Charles. I am supported from above: don't suffer for me. A parting blessing for our child.'
`I send it to her by you. I kiss her by you. I say farewell to her by you.'
