Joshua knew to whom he and Ephraim owed this favor, and received it with grateful joy. Walking had been made easier for him, but his mind was more and more sorely oppressed with anxious cares. The army passing yonder would have been enough to destroy down to the last man a force ten times greater than the number of his people.
Barbara saw her son for only a few more fleeting hours; the "Spanish fury" which destroyed the flower of Antwerp doubled his business cares, forbade any delay, and imperiously claimed his whole time and strength. The mother watched his honest labours sorrowfully.
Although Theresa was disinterested to a degree of which there are but few examples, her mother was not so. She was no sooner a little relieved from her necessities by my cares, than she sent for her whole family to partake of the fruits of them.

His gift lies that-a-way, and I'll answer for it, no one can teach him how to keep the Scud out of the hands of the Frontenackers or their devilish Mingo friends. Who cares for round turns in kedges, and for hawsers that are topped too high, Master Cap, so long as the craft sails well, and keeps clear of the Frenchers?
They do talk of turning all them greenhouses into hothouses; for, to be sure, there's nothing the new missus cares about but just the finest grapes in the country; and the flowers, purty creatures, may go to the devil for her. There's a lady for ye!" "But you'll be glad to have her home, and see what she's like, won't you? It's rather dull up there now, isn't it?"
"Messer Simone is no stickler for principles," Folco said, sourly; "he cares for no laws that he can break.
