Herein you evidently perceive that no one by mere human counsel can ever raise himself to the privilege or confession of him whom the voice of Christ set over all, whom the Church we venerate has always confessed and devotedly holds to be her Primate. Human presumption may attack the appointments of divine judgment; but no power can succeed in overthrowing them.
Nova Scotia is, I firmly believe, the most generally and devotedly loyal of all our colonies: the attachment of its people to the mother-country is beautiful, and their partisanship in all questions between us and the States most zealous.
When he takes his evening walks, the peasantry, who are devotedly attached to him, unite in singing choruses from his operas. In Verdi's bedroom, where alone he composes, is a fine piano of which instrument, as well as of the violin, he is a master a modest library, and an oddly-shaped writing-desk. Pictures and statuettes, of which he is very fond, are thickly strewn about the whole house.
Sometimes he had guilty feelings because of all the lying he had had to do; but he told himself that it was for Henriette's sake. She loved him as much as he loved her. She would have suffered needless agonies had she known the truth; she would never have got over it so it would have been a crime to tell her. He really loved her devotedly, thoroughly.
He was living in Lord Haldane's house at the time, and, agonizing over the abhorrent prospect of European slaughter and striving to the point of a nervous collapse to avert this calamity, was devotedly served and strengthened by his host. Why was he silent? Why was Mr. Asquith silent?
In his flannels, hands in pockets, he strolled down the steps with his sister to see her off, though Ridgeway Jordan was escorting her devotedly. He surveyed her, as he followed her, with brotherly pride. "That sister of mine has all the rest of them beaten at the quarter-mile," was his inward reflection.
My husband loved me with all the strength of a noble, high-minded man, and notwithstanding the difference in our ages, treated me as his equal; and I loved him yes, loved him devotedly," she said, as she saw a spark come into his eyes. "You love some one else now," he said coolly. It might have been anger that brought the rush of color to her face. She turned and looked him full in the face.
"You advise me to marry one, when I love another; and this, you think, is the way to be happy. It has seldom proved so, and I should despise happiness if I could only get it in that way. "Yours, sadly but devotedly, "Will you wait two years?" Grace, being on her defense, read this letter very slowly, and as if she had to decipher it.
Ah! you never knew how devotedly I loved you." She let him speak without interruption; perhaps the same thought was in her mind as in Quennebert's, who, himself a past master in the art of lying; was thinking "The man does not believe a word of what he is saying." But the treasurer went on "I can see that even now you doubt my sincerity." "Does my lord desire that his handmaiden should be blunt?
Did you ever meet a scribe so complacent and so fond of the ladies as I am? No; of course not. Therefore, do I love them devotedly, but not so often as I could wish, since I have oftener in my hands my goose-quill than I have the barbs with which one tickles their lips to make them laugh and be merry in all innocence. I understand them, and in this way.
