| | Michael - CHAPTER III (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Afterwards, when Michael was left alone with his father, he found that his best efforts at conversation elicited only monosyllabic replies, and at last, in the despairing desire to bring things to a head, he asked him if he had received his letter. |
 | | Michael had intended to be as quiet and respectful as possible, consistent with firmness, but a sentence here gave him a spasm of anger. |
 | | He desired, in the secret, real Michael, to be reasonable and cordial, to behave filially, while all the time his nerves were on edge with his father's ridicule, and with his instinctive knowledge of his father's distaste for him. |
