“An anguish as of death came over Wally; she suddenly understood that she had made Joseph her enemy, perhaps for ever, and she felt as if she must die at the thought. As though suddenly crushed, she followed him in, and her eye watched the stranger as she bound up Jo-seph's hands, with jealous hatred.

― Wilhelmine von Hillern, The Vulture Maiden: [Die Geier-Wally] by Wilhelmine Von Hillern. From the German by C. Bell and E.F. Poynter. 1876 [Leather Bound]
