Excerpt from Fallen Fortunes, Vol. 2: A Novel
When John Dalton reached the head of Sanbeck Valley, there were two courses open to him; either to keep straight on along the east road, which was soon merged into a bridle-path along the moor that led to Bleabarrow Mere; or to return to Riverside by the way he came. It had been his intention to join the party on board the steam-yacht; but he now carried about with him that which caused his heart to beat so wildly at the very thought of his wife and children, that he could not trust himself to meet them. It is always open to the wretched - those at least who are not in prison - to end their woes by rope or razor: but it is not so easy to use those remedies.
