If even there is no proof discovered of his being a spy, his brutality to Mrs.Wentworth merits punishment, and if only for that, I should desire to see him hung or shot.
However, I have no fear but that the fact of his being a spy will be discovered, for several of the most expert detectives in the service are on the search for the necessary evidence to convict him." "And which evidence I trust they will soon discover," remarked the doctor.

"Like you, I am averse to a war of extermination, but when instances like the one before us are brought to our notice, an outraged and indignant people demand satisfaction and should have it accorded to them." "Ah! my dear sir," replied Harry, "while Awtry's outrage on Mrs.
Wentworth deserves condemnation and punishment, he is not solely the guilty cause of her sufferings.

From the moment she reached our lines, it was the duty of the people of this city to aid and succor her.

Had this been done, her daughter may have been alive this day.
Unfortunately the philanthropic and charitable were idle and waited until such cases came to their notice.

Had they looked for them, Mrs.
Wentworth never would have fallen into the hands of unprincipled speculators and extortioners, and would have been spared the load of affliction which has now periled her life." "You are right, Harry," said Dr.Humphries.
