Whip me in the courtyard, would he, till I should bleed! Yet I was willing to forgive him, and he would not accept my forgiveness.

I was willing to forego John, who is more than life to me; but my father would not accept my sacrifice.

Truly will I never be so great a fool the second time.

Malcolm, I will not remain here to be the victim of another insult such as my father put upon me to-day.

There is no law, human or divine, that gives to a parent the right to treat his daughter as my father has used me.
