What I mean is, perhaps he might have reformed had I not broken with him; but it was the merest chance one too feeble to depend on; and I did wisely to discard him, I am convinced." "Forgive me! I did not mean to censure you," I said; "I was only speaking generally too generally, perhaps, for individual courtesy.
"She went to Boston to teach school, and some time afterward I was offered a position in New York, and I never saw her again. But she married in Boston a man of learning and literary attainments, though his health was feeble and he was poor, William Wetherell." Wetherell was a gentleman Cynthia Ware could have married no other and he came of good and honorable people in Portsmouth.
He was feeble and small of stature, but the thing about him that struck you at first sight was the disproportion between his shrunken body and his immense head. The forehead, round and prominent, seemed to crush with its weight the dark and irregular features, much pitted by smallpox.
All agreed to this policy; and it was arranged that the women, children, and most feeble of the natives should retire to almost inaccessible hiding places, far in the mountains; and that the more active spirits, with the negroes, and divided into five or six bands, acting to some extent independently of each other, but yet in accordance with a general plan, should remain to oppose the passage of the enemy.
The royal prisoner was first carried to the "Queen's Arms Inn," which still exists under the name of the "Ship Hotel." The hardships of the last twenty-four hours had told severely upon James. He was sick and feeble and weakened by profuse bleeding of the nose, to which he, like his brother Charles, was subject when unduly excited.
How many wars, how many battles, how many illusions, victories, and defeats had the king experienced in these thirty-eight years!

And now in this feeble body dwelt the same courageous spirit.
Give up this precious medicine which might save his baby's life? No! he could not do that. Majella would say, let the name be written, rather than that. "Let him write the name, then," said Alessandro, doggedly; but he went out of the room feeling as if he had put a chain around his neck. THE medicine did the baby no good. In fact, it did her harm. She was too feeble for violent remedies.
"Let tyrants fear," she says; "I have always so behaved myself that under God I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good will of my subjects"!! She knows that she has the body of a weak and feeble woman, but she is assured she has the heart of a king, and rather than any dishonour should grow by her, "I myself will take up arms and be your general, judge and rewarder of all your virtues."
"I was all that once, Mr. Ransome," said he, in a voice that became suddenly as feeble as his body, "but this fearful night has changed me. Miraculously preserved from destruction, I have renounced my errors, and vowed to lead a new life. Let me go about with you, gentlemen, and relieve the sufferings of others, as you have relieved mine." "There," said Ransome, proudly; "there's a man for you.
If they kill you, they will mourn over you with the best grace in the world, as the most virtuous, the most excellent, the most sensible of men. In this way your wife will first arm herself with that generous sentiment which leads us to respect those who are in pain. The man most disposed to quarrel with a woman full of life and health becomes helpless before a woman who is weak and feeble.
