Hearted. She would not in truth have thought that he had been in earnest in (looming her to eternal separation. But he had gone on with shocking coolness to tell her how he had arranged his plans for the future. Half my income you shall have.' 'you shall live here in this house, if it be thought well for you.' Your lawyer had better see my lawyers.' It was, in truth, his intention that it should be so. And she had already begun to have some knowledge of the persistency of his character. She was already aware that he was a man not likely to be moved from his word. He had gone, and it was his intention to go.

She told her self that she would rather starve in the street.
