Consideration for her nephew and niece had nothing to do with Mrs. Conly's plans and arrangements. If, as she greatly feared, Virginia were living in other than aristocratic style, she would not for the world have it known among the relatives who had heard her boasts in regard to Virgie's grand match; "so much better than Isa had been led into while under the care of her grandfather and uncle."
And you will be a grand man, and have a horse to ride on." Whereupon Herbert went away in disgust. Nothing in all this made him so unhappy as the feeling that Isa, under all their joint privations, would not be unhappy herself. As far as he could see, all this made no difference in Isa. But, in truth, he had not yet read Isa's character very thoroughly.
"As one whom his Father comforteth, so will he comfort his," Isa. lxvi. 13. Joy and gladness is promised in the covenant, Jer. xxxi. 13. But further, though he keep up these influences of joy and comfort, he supporteth another way.
And thus they did all things contrary to their salvation, as if no remedy could be applied to the world by the true Physician of all men. * Isa. In most of these quotations there is great verbal variation from the authorised version: the author probably quoted from memory, if not from the Latin version.
The result of self-possession in the case of Isa Marlay and Helen Minorkey was the same. They did not waste their strength. When people drown, it is nearly always from a lack of economy of force.
"I don't reco'nize him, nor his pony neither. It don't look as he means comin' here to our camp, or he'd sure have turned in at the new gate." "Didn't hear him crossin' the wooden bridge," said Gideon, "and his mount ain't wearin' soft moccasins." "Seems to me he's come to a halt," added Isa Blagg. There was an anxious spell of silent, watchful waiting.
It is very highly interesting: "DEAREST ISA, Very gentle my critic is; I am glad I got him out of you. But tell dear Mr. Add to this and much else the loss of the sweet unconscious cool privacy among the 'reeds' ... which I for one care so much for the loss of the privilege of being glad or sorry, ill or well, without a 'notice. That may have its glory to certain minds.
Camels and men were scattered along the track, treading slowly but continually forward, and yet not seeming to advance at all. Instead of the cheering cry of "Isa! Isa!" which urges on the burdened beasts over rocky deserts, the dull, prolonged sound of "Thurr! Thurr!" was substituted. Beyond this there was no noise.
The keys of the kingdom of heaven are committed to them, Matt. xvi. 19, and keys import a stewardly power: compare Matt. xvi. 19, and xviii. 18, John xx. 21, 23, with Isa. xxii. 21, 22. Materially, the acts and exercise of these officers are acts of power, as binding, loosing, &c., Matt, xviii. 18; not only preaching, &c., but excommunicating, is an act of power, 1 Cor. v. 4.
"But what is the matter!" asked Isa, with an anxious look, laying her pretty little hands on the youth's arm. Yes, you need not smile, reader; it is not a perquisite of ladies to have pretty little hands.
