GP – p241‘I heard thence a snarling, snatching sound, almost
like a dog quarrelling’ and ‘terminating in Grace Poole’s own

heard him in the yard, saying cheerfully – Mason got the start
of you all this morning

lost
...
Rochester shudder: a singular marked
expression of disgust, horror, hatred, warped his countenance
