Mockery - Ch.8
|
Ch.8

ch.8
|
90

It was to be de-
decided whether the result of my curiosity and lawless devices
would cause the death of two of my fellow beings: one a
smiling babe full of innocence and joy, the other far more
dreadfully murdered, with every aggravation of infamy
that could make the murder memorable in horror. Justine
also was a girl of merit and possessed qualities which prom-
used to render her life happy; now all was to be obliterated
in an ignominious grave, and I the cause! A thousand times
rather would I have confessed myself guilty of the crime as-
cribed to Justine, but I was absent when it was committed,
and such a declaration would have been considered as the
ravings of a madman and would not have exculpated her
who suffered through me.

|
deserving or causing public disgrace or shame.
|
They Ignominious me in the town square where everyone could see.

I saw unhappinessdeeply impressed on his countenance, but he endeavoured
to welcome me cheerfully; and, after we had exchanged
