"How often have I heard my father say that 'Ce sont des barbares! Peels only brought him over because they could find nobody in the Five Towns civilized enough to do the work that he did.... I can imagine how he must have felt when he first came here!... My God!... Environment!... I tell you what it's only lately I've realized how I loathe the provinces!"
At these sugar parties every one was expected to eat as much sugar as possible; and those who are practiced in it can eat a great deal. It is a peculiarity about eating warm maple sugar, that though you may eat so much of it one day as to be sick and loathe the thought of it, you will want it the next day more than ever.
His cheerfulness had vanished, his tufted eyebrows were raised, and his pinched lips seemed unwilling to part, when at length he reluctantly said: "Nothing nothing is wrong... At the same time; once for all I loathe that name." "Paula?" cried the child in astonishment. "Oh! but if you knew. . ." "I know more than enough," interrupted the old man.
"The yearning for the life which is hid with Christ in God had seized him. It was the last of his revels. "'Love set my heart on fire, "He used afterwards to sing. It was at that moment the fire kindled." "I wish it would set mine on fire." "Perhaps the fire is already kindled." "Nay, think of last night." "And what makes thee loathe last night? Other young men do not loathe such follies."
Whence it fell that many valiant warriors lost their lives at his hand, and the hero himself was slain. Hear ye now the tale of his sorrow. Well he knew he could win naught but teen and scathe. Fain had he denied the prayer of the king and queen. He feared, if he slew but one man, that the world would loathe him evermore.
He acknowledged to himself that, even leaving money out of the question, she was a prize any man might covet; yet that if she were poor, he would never try to win her. A more voluptuous woman would have suited him better. Elsie's very purity made her distasteful to him, his own character seeming so much blackened by contrast that at times he could but loathe and despise himself.
It irks us nought that we are few and eke our neighbour great, For all the neighbours of most folk are scant and mean elsewhere; For we're a folk, that deem not death an evil nor reproach, Albeit Aamir and Seloul so deem, of their despair. The love of death that is in us brings near our ends to us, But theirs, who loathe and rail at it, are long and far to fare.
Then I caught him by the arm, held him fast, begged him to control himself. 'They shall all go! he cried. 'I loathe the sight of them. They have killed my dear wife! He said it sobbing, and at the last words tears streamed from his eyes. I had no difficulty now in restraining him. He met my look with a gaze of infinite pathos, and talked on while he wept. 'If you knew what she has been to me!
I cannot eat very much at their dinner parties I am too busy thinking how to parry their attacks on my America, and especially my Chicago, and my West generally. The English adore Americans, but they loathe America, and I, for one, will not accept a divided allegiance. "Love me, love my dog," is my motto. I go home from their dinners as hungry as a wolf, but covered with Victoria crosses.
The man's a lunatic, you know. What do you think he wanted? How do you think he put it? As thus: 'I loathe you, my dear man' I'm giving you the substance 'You stand for everything I'm vowed to destroy; but I hope you'll marry her, and tie her to you for life. That was his little plan. As you know, I couldn't oblige him. He thought I could!"
