Donna accompanied him to the front gate, and there Bob with many a fervent promise to take good care of himself and not to forget to write every day, took her in his arms, kissed her quickly before the tears should have a chance to rise, and was gone. She watched him stride slowly through the gloom to the velocipede waiting on the tracks; she saw him climb aboard.
This man deserves all the greater credit for what he is doing, for having gone from one extreme to another; formerly he was one of the heathen priests, whom they here call catalones, and now he has become a preacher of our holy faith. This he relates, while uttering fervent thanks and exalting the great favors and benefits which God has bestowed upon him.
All through the camp religious exercises were proceeding, and when at last Walter of Hereford brought our hero to the tent of Earl Simon, they found him prostrate in fervent prayer. "Father and leader," said the young earl with deep reverence, "I have brought thee a long-lost son." The earl rose. "My son! Hubert! Can it be thou, risen from the dead?"
I raised myself on my elbow and listened intently, but heard nothing more, and reflecting that, even if what I had heard was more than fancy, I was helpless, shut in on every hand by impenetrable fog, to render aid; I could do no more than utter a fervent hope, amounting to a prayer, that no poor soul had strayed into the water on such a night.
They attended the next meeting; and, having repeated the same dissent, they expressed their fervent wish for a perfect understanding, and pledged themselves to continue their co-operation, as if the resolution had not been passed. Mr. John Reilly repudiated these advances, and charged them with treachery to Ireland, as the natural complement of disobedience to O'Connell.
We gave them to you, or ye filched them from us, I scarcely know which. And ye have added other books, which we cannot recognise." The flash of fervent confidence had died away, and Belasez was once more the reserved, impenetrable Jewish maiden, to whom Gentile Christians were unclean animals, and their doctrines to be mentioned only with scorn and abhorrence.
This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own. As is usual in such cases, she was the apple of his eye, and was loved by him above all humanity. Among his courtiers was a young man of that fineness of blood and lowness of station common to the conventional heroes of romance who love royal maidens.
There silent and unregarding Walter Skirving sat a man still splendid in frame and build, erect in his chair, a shawl over his knees even in this day of fervent heat, looking out dumbly on the drowsing, humming world of broad, shadowless noonshine, and often also on the equable silences of the night. "No that I regret it the day, when he is but the name o' the man he yince was.
Life seemed utterly useless, a vain effort, but while yet he struggled with the fear of death and a hate of the day, a delegation of those who claim to hold communion with the dead came to him with a greeting from his wife. This message contained words which startled him. He was persuaded to seek confirmation. He was convinced and became the most fervent of spiritualists.
"I mean that, although it had no heart, the staple was tired and worn out just as you are, and so I brought it to you," and I slipped the rusty bit of iron into the old man's trembling palm. "O Lord !" he began in a fervent voice, "O dear Lord! I got it, Lord th' owd stapil I be ready to come to Thee, an' j'yful j'yful! an' for this mercy, an' benefit received blessed be Thy name. Amen!"
