But let me tell you something: it isn't in me to love again. And that isn't square to you." After a silence she repeated: "Again? Have you been in love?" "Yes." "Are you embittered? I thought only callow fledglings moped." "If I were embittered I'd offer free anchorage to all comers. That's the fledgling idea when blighted be a 'deevil among the weemin," he said, laughing.
The next morning the sun saw that it was blighted; and the sun said, 'My beautiful tree and my brave, that my beams delighted to shine upon, is blasted; but I will throw forth my warmest rays, and my favourite shall revive, and again be glorious!

The mother sang again, murmurously.
But there are no words to say what we are or what we deserve if we do thus to the little children whom we have dared, for our own pleasure, to bring into the perils of this life, and whose whole future may be blighted by the mistakes of our careless hands. Breaking the Will. This phrase is going out of use. It is high time it did.
Some say that it means "the Indian's grave;" others, "the lake of the one island." It is certain that an Indian girl is buried beneath that blighted tree; but I never could learn the particulars of her story, and perhaps there was no tale connected with it.
He, the most patriotic of Britons, looked at askance by his best friends, being given notice by his old servants, having particular attention paid his house at night by the police, getting anonymous letters about lights seen in his upper windows the nights; the Zeppelins came, which were the windows of the floor those blighted twins slept on, and all because he had married Aunt Alice.
April's days were lengthening out in showers and sunshine and cold east wind. Easter and a huge party had come and gone at Verdayne Place, and the Lady Henrietta had had her hopes once more blighted by noticing Paul's indomitable indifference to all the pretty girls.
