"Art hurt?" she said gently, "art hurt, child? I did not wish to hurt thee. Stop thy weeping and I'll give thee that amber locket which thou dost covet so. Stop thy weeping, I say!
"She is a shrew, no doubt?... I dare say she beats you.... The hero has a presentiment of the weight of her hand!..." They laugh immoderately. "Laugh away!" the hero laughs with them, but, not to be compelled by their derision: "I shall none the less leave you to disappointment, for the ring which you covet no teasing shall get for you!"
A man may attain renown in this world by doing two things, viz., by refraining from harsh speech, and by disregarding those that are wicked.

And I find that she loves me me! Fate must have her jest, I perceive, though the firmament crack for it. She would have been content enough with Noel, thinking me dead. And with me?" Contemplatively he spat out of the window.
It is for this that they have been slain by me! He that wisheth to live, should not, O king, drink this water! O son of Pritha, act not rashly! This lake hath already been in my possession. Do thou, O son of Kunti, first answer my questions, and then take away as much as thou likest! Yudhishthira said, 'I do not, O Yaksha, covet, what is already in thy possession!
