'You must judge for yourself; Georgiana. 'It is that, or staying here? 'I think so, my dear. 'If papa chooses I don't know why I am to mind. It will be awfully disagreeable, absolutely disgusting!
"I suppose it's because he has not yet learned that you are my uncle," replied the Captain, suppressing a smile. "It's strange what dislikes he takes to certain persons when one considers that he's as gentle as a kitten when children are around; but I'll try to teach him to distinguish members of the family in the future." "Look here, Jack! I've had enough of this beating about the bush.
If there is any one point which, in six thousand years of thinking about right and wrong, wise and good men have agreed upon, or successively by experience discovered, it is that God dislikes idle and cruel people more than any others: that His first order is, "Work while you have light;" and His second, "Be merciful while you have mercy."
