Oakhurst lifted his hat, and before she could thank him was gone. I grieve to say that Mr. Decker shamelessly broke his promise. That night, in the very goodness of his heart and uxorious self-abnegation, he, like all devoted husbands, not only offered himself, but his friend and benefactor, as a sacrifice on the family-altar.
For may I perish if it is not all the lady's own goodness, and I hope in Heaven, with your honour's leave, I shall live to make her amends for it."
He made answer, low and stern, "She deserved them all; every jot." "In the eye of God, perhaps she does. He is the Judge; we are not." "Oh!" she said, with a sudden burst, "Will Leigh! I have thought so well of you; don't go and make me think you cruel and hard. Goodness is not goodness unless there is mercy and tenderness with it.
'I may not say that ye have done aught but what a good knight should do, replied the king, 'but I may not maintain you in this country unless I would displease my wife and her kin. 'Sir, said Sir Tristram, 'I thank you for your goodness and for the kind cheer which I have had here of yourself and your queen and La Belle Isoude.
The forms that Truth assumes are impartiality, self control, forgiveness, modesty, endurance, goodness, renunciation, contemplation, dignity, fortitude, compassion, and abstention from injury.

"I would not like to walk right up to a pony and say 'You're mine! just like that!" "Hess will pick them out for us, won't he. Daddy?" "I reckon so," said her father, without looking up from his mail that one of the Mexicans had brought in the minute before. "Goodness!" exclaimed Grace. "We'll never be able to get the ponies to-day, then, that is sure. He won't be able to answer you so quickly."
He has not only been liberal with his works, but with his purse also he has often helped the talented and studious poor in their need, whether men of letters or painters; of this I am able to testify, having benefited by it myself. He was never jealous of the labours of others even in his own art, more by his goodness of nature than any opinion he had of himself.
Goodness, how I'd love to eat at Delmonico's!" "You wouldn't like it a bit, Ruby," announced Casey. "You got to understand French to eat what they have there. If you can't understand French, you're sure to eat something that won't agree with you, not bein' able to tell soup from pickled pigs' feet." "How do you know? You've never been there." Casey gave her a cool stare. "I haven't, eh?
