4 He ground his teeth and was silent: he arrested his step and struck his boot against the hard ground.
5 St. John was a good man; but I began to feel he had spoken truth of himself when he said he was hard and cold.
6 Helen regarded me, probably with surprise: I could not now abate my agitation, though I tried hard; I continued to weep aloud.
7 He looked at me long and hard: I turned my eyes from him, fixed them on the fire, and tried to assume and maintain a quiet, collected aspect.

15 It is excusable, for she had a hard life of it: but still it was dangerous; for when Mrs. Poole was fast asleep after the gin and water, the mad lady, who was as cunning as a witch, would take the keys out of her pocket, let herself out of her chamber, and go roaming about the house, doing any wild mischief that came into her head.
