"If he is concealing it, do you think he will tell you?" "Yes, he would tell me. But he is not concealing it." "Will you look?" "I cannot take his keys from him and open his box." "You mean that you will not do as I bid you?" "I cannot do it. Consider of it, Anton. Could you treat your own father in such a way?" "I would cling to you sooner than to him.
I asked a friend in Cape Town to telegraph your arrival; and almost ever since the telegram reached me I have been expecting you and awaiting you." "So you believed in me?" "Implicitly as you in me. That is the worst of it, Hubert. If you did NOT believe in me, I could have told you all and then, you would have left me. But, as it is, you KNOW all and yet, you want to cling to me."
"I do, brother; but not to go far I wish rather to hide from Varney than to make myself inaccessible by distance." "You still cling to this neighbourhood?" "I do, I do; and you know with what hope I cling to it." "Perfectly; you still think it possible that Charles Holland may be united to you." "I do, I do." "You believe his faith." "Oh, yes; as I believe in Heaven's mercy."
I have a stronger sense of power to act as a man among men. I have gained worldly wisdom, and wisdom also that is not altogether of this world. And, when I quit this earthly cavern, where I am now buried, nothing will cling to me that ought to be left behind."
Similarly my affection for a friend, having causes much deeper than discourse, may cling to him through all transformations in his qualities and in his attitude toward me; and it may never pass to others for resembling him, nor take, in all its days, a Platonic direction.
The doctor, while his servant was saddling his horse, flung his bournous over himself, and, grasping his pistols and gun, mounted and started off towards the west, ordering Mahomet to cling fast to his horse's tail. Not a moment was to be lost, as the enemy had begun to attack the east side of the camp.
That is why the Indians of the Nicola country still cling to their old-time story that the Tulameen carries the spirit of a young girl enmeshed in the wonders of its winding course; a spirit that can never free itself from the canyons, to rise above the heights and follow its fellows to the Happy Hunting Grounds, but which is contented to entwine its laughter, its sobs, its lonely whispers, its still lonelier call for companionship, with the wild music of the waters that sing forever beneath the western stars.
A nature like Adam's, with a great need of love and reverence in it, depends for so much of its happiness on what it can believe and feel about others! And he had no ideal world of dead heroes; he knew little of the life of men in the past; he must find the beings to whom he could cling with loving admiration among those who came within speech of him.
The Ritualists cling to their ritual, the Liberals cling to their protest against the Ritualists. But the true spirit by which both of them move and act and write and speak is the unclean spirit of hatred and despite of each other, the very spirit which excludes them both from communion with Christ and the saints.
The wind was rolling like thunder through the great avenues, the tall trees bent under the fury of the blast; when the sound ceased I heard the carriage wheels, and going to my mother, who was reading, I said: "She has come." My mother took my hand silently. Why did we both look at each other? What curious foreboding came to us both, that made us cling to each other? Poor mother! poor child!
