A married man, therefore, hath his wife's honour as well as his own, and by injuring hers you injure his. How cruelly you have hurt me in this tender part I need not repeat; the whole gate knows it, and the world shall.
"It was right before your eyes." As she thrust it at him his hand closed over hers. She felt him drawing her, irresistibly. "Janet!" he said. "For God's sake you're killing me don't you know it? I can't stand it any longer!" "Don't!" she whispered, terror-stricken, straining away from him. "Mr. Ditmar let me go!"
"I can see that your position may be trying, in these close quarters with a younger brother's wife with more age and rank than yourself." "That is nothing. An Irish earl, and a Charnock of Dunstone!" "Dunstone will be more respected if you keep it in the background," he said, holding in stronger words with great difficulty. "Once for all, you have your own place and duties, and Rosamond has hers.
'I merely beat two games out of three, and we had not time for another. Rowland had been, according to promise, to dine and play chess with Mr Gwynne; Miss Gwynne had dined with them, but had left them after dinner to follow their own devices, whilst she had followed hers, and did not reappear during the evening.
She ought to have thought of some recent news that came to Paris, for we were but seven months from there and had been living there a couple of years when we started on this trip; but instead of that she thought of an incident of our brief sojourn in Paris of sixteen years before.

Dinwiddie come forward to speak. It is impossible to tell how glad Daisy was; even a sermon she thought she could relish from his lips; but when he began, she forgot all about it's being a sermon. Mr. Dinwiddie was talking to her and to the rest of the people; that was all she knew; he was not looking down at his book, he was looking at them; his eyes were going right through hers.
My dear boy, I was not then, you see, quite what I am now: in a word, I loved Ellinor Compton, and therefore I was ambitious. You know how ambitious she is still. But I could not mould my ambition to hers.
Williams speculated with interest and hope about those young strangers. Did I notice what badge was on his cap? My eyes were better than hers. She trusted it would be all right for them. They were starting very young. It was better to start young. She looked such a good little soul, that girl. It was pleasant to know that house was let at last. It had been empty too long. It was getting a name.
"Wils, hers is the kind that grows stronger with time. I know." Moore strained in his intensity of emotion, and he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Oh God! this's hard on me!" he cried. "I'm a man. I love that girl more than life.
