“One should always say to oneself, "No surrender". In very truth, the star of his life was going out darkly under a cloud; but he was battling against his sorrow and his shame - not that he might be rid of them himself, but that others might not have to share them. That doctrine of "no surrender" was strong within his bosom, and he understood the motto in a finer sense than that in which his grandson had used it. He would not tell them that his heart was broken, -not if he could help it. He would not display his wound if it might be in his power to hide it. ”
