You seem to stay out of it, but what if you do? Are you going to sit like a knot on a log and have them say you made a loveless marriage for money, and " "Stop!" Mostyn flared out. "I won't stand it. You are going too far!" "Ah, I see you can be touched," the old man laughed, putting his hand on Mostyn's arm in his most senile mood. "I just wanted to set you thinking, that's all."
But she did not easily decide on this course, for, since the afternoon when Pollux had shown her mother's bust to Arsinoe before showing it to her, she had felt a grudge towards the sculptor, who so lately before had touched and opened her weary and loveless soul; and this sore feeling had not diminished, but had rather increased with time.
Was not the true sin, as is suggested, the source of all this error, the act of the physician who had first violated Hester's womanhood in a loveless marriage as he had now in Arthur's breast "violated in cold blood the sanctity of a human heart"? "Thou and I," says Arthur, "never did so."
In some sort, all such intelligence was acceptable to her, as tending to make it unlikely that her only escape from a loveless marriage with him would be by her own resistance to the wishes of her family. Yet, at the same time, it was bitter to her, and ministered an unwholesome aliment to her morbid self-depreciation. The Cardinal's Reception, and the Marchese's Ball
It is useless to ask for justice in such a matter. These things are governed by no law; and rightly so, else the world would be in good time a loveless multitude, held together only by the hungering ties of parent and child. But this Sunday wherein Lali received a shock.
His imagination ran on seeing her pass in her carriage, and drop him a nod of condescension as she swept noisily by him trudging home weary from his work to his loveless fireside. He didn't want her money! Honestly, he would rather have her without than with money, for he now regarded it as an enemy, seeing what evil changes it could work. "There be some devil in it, sure!" he said to himself.
The task began to look hopeless. We had already reached the stage when we saw our resources coming to an end. "Get a pole," said the Colonel, "and we'll poke a noose over her." "It won't work," said Loveless. "We've tried that often enough to show it won't work." "Just the same we'll try it again," replied the Colonel.
He saw his future, loveless, for no woman would trust him now; even the one whose name he had saved would probably be more unforgiving than the Church; it was the way with women when a man abandoned God and honor for them; and this nameless but blackest of sins, this falsity to one poor dying sinner, would stand between him and heaven forever, though through that very crime he had saved a fellow being.
A loveless heart does not know the Shepherd, and unless the Shepherd's heart was all love He would not know His sheep. The Shepherd's love is an individualised love. He knows His flock as a flock because He knows the units of it, and we can rest ourselves upon the personal knowledge, which is personal love and sympathy, of Jesus Christ.
She and you are both happy in having escaped the degradation, the deep misery of a loveless union. I am glad yes, glad even of this shameful escapade with Montesma though it has dragged her good name through the gutter, glad of the catastrophe that has saved her from such a marriage. You are very generous in your willingness to forget my sister's folly.
