Quite distinctly, though he evidently was not addressing her, she heard the man's hard voice say: "This cannot be borne." And then in a different voice, there came these words over the miles from Meeghan's Grocery: "Miss Heth; I didn't see you when I should have and now we are just too late. I can't reach Dal now." "You don't mean?..." "He is dead." "Dead!"
She had borne the rebuke without a word in reply, and had then begged again for him, and had endured the starvation herself. Nothing in their poverty had, for years past, been a shame to her; but every accident of their poverty was still, and ever had been, a living disgrace to him. They had had many children, and three were still alive.
Mark felt that he could not stay even until the patronal festival. If Brother George or Brother Birinus had broken his vows, he could have borne it more easily, for he had not witnessed their profession; fond he might be of the Prior, but he had worked for human souls under the orders of Brother Anselm.

The reports of two rifle shots were faintly borne to their ears. "That's a signal. I heard the first a second before I spoke. Answer them, Elfreda."
The deep love she had borne her husband remained unchanged and nightly, with perfect devotion, she looked upon and pressed to her lips his miniature, which was fastened to a massive chain hanging on her neck; never in sight, but hidden from other eyes, as if too sacred for their gaze.
