As a cross nurse might do a wayward child,

  From all our toys and baubles². His rough call

  Unlooses all our favourite ties on earth;

  And well if they are such as may be answer'd

  In yonder world, where all is judged of truly.

                                   Old Play.

It was a ghastly scene which opened, upon Martha Trapbois's return with a light. Her own haggard and austere³ features were exaggerated by all the desperation of grief, fear, and passion—but the latter was predominant. On the floor lay the body of the robber, who had expired without a groan⁴, while his blood, flowing plentifully⁵, had crimsoned⁶ all around. Another body lay also there, on which the unfortunate woman precipitated⁷ herself in agony, for it was that of her unhappy father. In the next moment she started up, and exclaiming—“There may be life yet!” strove to raise the body. Nigel went to her assistance, but not without a glance at the open window; which Martha, as acute as if undisturbed either by passion or terror, failed not to interpret justly.

 

“Fear not,” she cried, “fear not; they are base cowards, to whom courage is as much unknown as mercy. If I had had weapons, I could have defended myself against them without assistance or protection.—Oh! my poor father! protection comes too late for this cold and stiff corpse⁸.—He is dead—dead!”
