One cannot always play at marbles; the lid of the sepulchre will sometimes slip aside of itself, and we must see. True, it depends upon individual disposition. Some people can, metaphorically, smoke cigarettes and make puns by the death-beds of their dearest friends, or even on their own. We should pray for a disposition like that it makes life more pleasant.
"I hope so, Edward," she said, laying her head on his shoulder, "I know one thing that there is nothing in this world I care so much for as to please you and be all and everything to you." "And I can echo your words from my very heart, dearest," he said, caressing her. "I hope you are at home and happy among your new relatives." "Yes, indeed, Edward, especially with mamma.
"Do you think people ever quarreled before on a wedding journey?" asked Isabel as they drove gayly out of the city. "Never! I can't conceive of it. I suppose if this were written down, nobody would believe it." "No, nobody could," said Isabel, musingly, and she added after a pause, "I wish you would tell me just what you thought of me, dearest.
Wharton himself sat late into the night, all alone, thinking about it. What he had done, he had done in a morose way, and he was aware that it was so. He had not beamed with smiles, and opened his arms lovingly, and, bidding God bless his dearest children, told them that if they would only come and sit round his hearth he should be the happiest old man in London.
"Home again," Polly exclaimed, joyfully looking around her with pardonable pride, for the splendid old house they were about to enter was her own, and every corner of it held the dearest of memories. Lois and her mother were no less delighted to return to it. It had been Uncle Roddy's suggestion that they all spend Christmas there, and every one had heartily agreed to it.
Melchior, my good Melchior! dearest, dearest Melchior! hast thou indeed forgotten me?" Here the Genoese opened wide his arms, and stood ready to receive the embrace of his friend. The Baron de Willading was troubled, but he was still so far from suspecting the real fact, that he could not have easily told the reason why.
"Oh, speak not so unkindly to me, dearest Miss Wharton my own Frances. I would this moment die for you for Henry but I cannot forget my duty cannot forfeit my honor; you yourself would be the first to despise me if I did." "Peyton Dunwoodie!" said Frances, solemnly, and with a face of ashy paleness, "you have told me you have sworn, that you love me "

"Never mind, dearest mother," said a young and lovely girl, with a profusion of light brown hair, and eyes that seemed to float in liquid crystal, "'tis all my fault for seizing upon M. de Villefort, so as to prevent his listening to what you said. But there now take him he is your own for as long as you like. M. Villefort, I beg to remind you my mother speaks to you."
The naked self gets clothed and lapped round with possessions, but they are all outside of it, apart from its individuality. It has been without them. It will be without them. Death at the end will rob us of them all. The inevitable law of loss is fixed and certain. We are losing something every moment not only possessions, but all our dearest ties are knit but for a time, and sure to be snapped.
