No,
nothing,鈥
said
Maggie,
rousing
her
latent
will.
Philip
must
not
have
that
odious
thought
in
his
mind;
she
would
banish
it
from
her
own.
Nothing,鈥
she
repeated,
except
in
my
own
mind.
You
used
to
say
I
should
feel
the
effect
of
my
starved
life,
as
you
called
it;
and
I
do.
I
am
too
eager
in
my
enjoyment
of
music
and
all
luxuries,
now
they
are
come
to
me.鈥
