She was fortified only\n\nby a secret stubborn shame and a hatred of subordination and its drudgery.\n\nYet when at last Mrs Gomartin, with her few goods boxed and basketed, sat\n\nin the springcart, one backward glance would have brought her daughter\n\ninto her arms. The old woman never looked round, and Sarah through\n\ntear-blinded eyes, watched the small bowed figure nod and lurch beside\n\nHamilton as they drove away.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
