Excerpt from Marcella, Vol. 2 of 2 Nearly three weeks passed - short flashing weeks, crowded with agitations, inward or outward, for all the persons of this story. After the inquiry before the magistrates - conducted, as she passionately thought, with the most marked animus on the part of the bench and police towards the prisoners had - resulted in the committal for trial of Hurd and his five companions, Marcella wrote Aldous Raeburn a letter which hurt him sorely. "Don't come over to see me for a little while," it ran. "My mind is all given over to feelings which must seem to you - which, I know, do seem to you - unreasonable and unjust. But they are my life, and when they are criticised, or even treated coldly, I cannot bear it. When you are not there to argue with, I can believe, most sincerely, that you have a right to see this matter as you do, and that it is monstrous of me to expect you to yield to me entirely in a thing that concerns your sense of public duty. But don't come now - not before the trial. I will appeal to you if I think you can help me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
