... the highest of all things, an unspeakable repugnance. Had this been told me before the battle, I should not have understood it, and should have held it to be braggadocio; now, after what I have shudderingly passed through, I find it intelligible. For I must confess that a column advancing against the Freeland lines, and torn to pieces by their fire, is a sight which freezes the blood of even men accustomed to murder en masse, as I am. I have several times seen ...

In her hand is a kind of a work-basket, but of the simplest workmanship ...

Or if indeed it be a ...

... the face of strangers! How teeming with resentment against fate her inevitable conclusions! In all save features she was white. Over her inheritance, the cruellest which fortune could bestow, she was shudderingly horrified. Not all the longings of an untainted mind could make her skin less tawny.

But under no imaginable conditions can madness be regarded as something from which the heart and soul of man does not shudderingly recoil.

There is something unhealthy, eerie, in the story ...
