[The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins]@TWC D-Link bookThe Moonstone CHAPTER II 20/31

I know--" she laid a strong emphasis on the words; she stamped her foot in the rage that possessed her--"I KNOW THAT GODFREY ABLEWHITE IS INNOCENT. Take me to the magistrate, Godfrey!

Don't let Rachel see me." I noticed a bluish tinge in her face which alarmed me.
She saw I was startled.
"The drops will put me right in a minute or two," she said, and so closed her eyes, and waited a little. While this was going on, I heard dear Mr.Godfrey still gently remonstrating. "You must not appear publicly in such a thing as this," he said.
