The Penitent's Return
Yes, there she was, — there, in the chamber he had quitted, — there in
her old innocent, happy home, so changed that none but he could trace one gleam of what
she had been, — there upon her knees, — with her hands clasped in agony and shame before
her burning face. Master Humphrey, p. 21
