Excerpt from Ezra the Mormon That girl will come to harm sooner or later, said Ralph Sutton. He paused, and fixed his eyes on his wife with a steadfast look, expressive of prophecy. Then he added, in monotonous repetition, to harm! He had been talking somewhat excitedly of a wild, puzzlingly beautiful daughter, in whom he found it difficult to recognise his close, intimate, human relationship. In Thora there was a strong vein of poetry, at variance with her father's matter of fact outlook upon life. She might have been born of some union of nymphs, so wayward and strange were her moods. Mrs. Sutton retained the shadow of a berits e long past. Her tired eyes could never ose a light which once kindled passion in men's hearts. Even now, emotions stirred by Thora's actions could bring a rush of colour to the mother's faded cheeks, and revive the bloom of youth.
