The same prospect of misery hung over the head of another tenant of this hardhearted lord of the soil.
But although I have not the advantage of being known to you, I am betrothed to the fair Nisida with your father's approval, of course. Now, as I have the misfortune to possess very hardhearted parents, they have had the cruelty to refuse me their consent.

But I magnanimously considered that there is a kind of treason in insulating one's self from the universal fear and sorrow, and thinking one's idle thoughts in the dread time of civil war; and could a man be so cold and hardhearted, he would better deserve to be sent to Fort Warren than many who have found their way thither on the score of violent, but misdirected sympathies.
"There goes the baby and his nurse," said one of the men. "Tom will be getting him some pap presently," said another at which they laughed in chorus. The third mate, seeing Tom standing over me, ordered him back to his work.
