and the beam. There was no need to be afraid for me. McClintock would be on hand to tell her how

severity, subtlety, were required for it; and these were qualities which Jonathan
possessed in an extraordinary degree. He suddenly realized that he could not keep you for ever in this part
of the world; so he sends you to your aunt. ‘Have you
