He had presented it at me him- self the moment before. God only knows how it was that I was not the victim, and that he was not left to mourn 7?ie. Think then of my horror when the musquetoon went off, and my brother fell at my feet a bleeding corpse ! That was the first sick- ening taste of the bit...terness with which my cup w^as to be filled ; but, when, in- stead of comfort in my agony, and support under the dreadful weight cast upon me, I found the awful misfortune imputed to me as a crime, when, in spite of its being HENRY SMEATOX. 117 shown and proved, by those who witnessed it, that all were accidental, and my horror and grief was apparent to all eyes, I was cast out from the bosom of my family like an exile, banished to a dis- tance, and treated like a criminal who has only escaped condign punishment by some quirk of law, and who lives with the shame and the reproach, and the stigma clinging, to him for ever— to describe my sensations then, is impossible.
