Chapter XXIV
ALL OR NOTHING. The third week after Samuel Parris's return from Boston, Norman Lovel arrived at his house. When we first met this young man he had the face of an angel and the impulsive manners of a child; even then he possessed a depth and earnestness of feeling which only broke out when the occasion was important enough to draw forth high and brave qualities. But a few weeks of thoughtful experience had changed him greatly. He had all at once taken a leap into manhood.
