" After a time, he sought some relief to his feelings in active service in the cause of the Greeks; but even in the most eventful moments of his after-life, that would sometimes obtrude itself, which was never absent from his solitary pillow, — the image of his poor Matilda, as, heart-broken and repentant, he had seen her on the evening preceding the fatal catastrophe...
