I would not have a slave to till my ground, To carry me, to fan me while I sleep, And tremble when I wake, for all the wealth That sinews bought and sold have ever earn'd. No: dear as freedom is, and in my heart's Just estimation prized above all price, I had much rather be myself the slave, And wear the bonds, than fasten them on him. We have no slaves at home then why abroad?
"A steady, not a fitful flame," said Angela. "But she is so young." "If you will believe me, Magdalen, such a home as that Dearport Sisterhood is a precious thing I have not been worthy of it. I have been a wild colt, carried about by all manner of passing excitements. Oh, dear! love of sheer fun and daring enterprise, and amusement, in shocking every one, even my very dearest, whom I loved best.
Miss Dorothy read down the page and at the end she stooped and kissed the child. "You have paid me a lovely compliment, dear," she said. "I am glad you feel that way," for Marian had written: "We have the loveliest teacher in the world. Her name is Miss Dorothy Robbins. She is like Mrs. Hunt, but can understand little girls better, for she is younger and prettier. I love her very much."
Yes!" loudly, and facing round. "I'm askin' y' not t' bother us any more this mornin' with your ever-lastin' talk!" "Oh. You wish me to go." Mr. Perkins took up his hat and gloves. "My, but you're smart!" exclaimed Barber, sarcastically. "You can understand plain English! Yes, dear Mister Perkins, I mean that I don't want y' round." With that he continued on to the hall door, and opened it.
"Well, my dear child, my age warrants my speaking to you like that, does it not?" "Oh, yes, father."
"Well, my dear boy, my second example embraces many excellent men, all devoted to the same self-denying and self-sacrificing work, I am now alluding to the Moravian missionaries.
Still, though it is a wrench to leave my dear old congregation, here in this wonderful London of ours, I cannot refuse the call to a wider sphere of usefulness. My views as a churchman are well known. I have never, even though it might have been professionally advantageous to me to do so, attempted any concealment." "No, truly," Rhoda put in, still balancing and craning.
'Have your fun, my dear; but if you must earn your bread, try to make it sweet with cheerfulness, not bitter with the daily regret that it isn't cake.
"There appears to have been some misunderstanding, my dear Ventimore," explained Beevor, with a studious correctness which was only a shade less offensive than open triumph. "I think I'd better leave you and this gentleman to talk it over quietly." "Quietly?" exclaimed Mr. Wackerbath, with an apoplectic snort; "quietly!!" "I've no idea what you are so excited about, sir," said Horace.
I retorted by laying the diamond locket before him. "My dear fellow," I said, as he gazed at it transfixed, "don't let us go on like a pair of fools. Eleanor charged me to give you this, and beg you to return." I don't believe he heard me at all. That flashing trinket was far more eloquent than any words of mine. He laid his head in his hands beside it, and his whole body trembled with emotion.
