I have no faith or hope in you more. I know you now, only as an enemy to me and to my house--it is mockery and hypocrisy to call you son; it is an insult to Clara, and even to Ralph, to think of you as my child. In this record
your place is destroyed--and destroyed for ever.

Never was a richly

looking round it. There was no repose anywhere.
