“It was the Gadfly whose eyes sank first. He shrank down, hiding his face; and Montanelli understood that the gesture meant "Go!" He turned, and went out of the cell. A moment later the Gadfly started up. "Oh, I can’t bear it! Padre, come back! Come back!" The door was shut. He looked around him slowly, with a wide, still gaze, and understood that all was over. The Galilean had conquered.” — Ethel Lilian Voynich
It was the Gadfly whose eyes sank first. He shrank down, hiding his face; and

"Oh, I can’t bear it! Padre, come back! Come back!"
The door was shut. He looked around him slowly, with a wide, still gaze, and understood that all was over. The Galilean had conquered.
