He had small cause for loving her. She was the one witness that the Crown could produce, now that he had destroyed the documentary evidence of his crime. What case would they have against him if they stood him in the dock at the Old Bailey, if Odette Rider were not forthcoming to testify against him?
To be placed by loving friends in his dear familiar basket, while he was being taken to some point from which he might make a glorious flight he had long since become reconciled to that experience; but to be seized by a stranger's hands and ignominiously shoved into a black prison and hidden in a strange room that was an insult his free spirit could not brook.
If I sometimes laugh at the devices of my wife to find out what it is I want, I do not have the faintest smile at the patient and loving heart that inspires them.
"Now, don't you be afraid," whispered Celestina, as she drew me close; "God is with us; don't forget that!" "Why do you wish to harm us?" she said aloud, fixing her eyes on the poor drunken brute, in such a calm, loving and compassionate way that it seemed to calm him a bit.

Amelie sat in the recess of the window, resting her cheek upon her tremulous hand as she watched the gentlemen proceed on their way to the castle. Her mind was overflowing with thoughts and fancies, new, enigmatical, yet delightful. Her nervous manner did not escape the loving eye of her aunt; but she spoke not she was silent under the burden of a secret joy that found not vent in words.
I got another hundred lines to-day for not being present at prayers. But don't you worry I am not really bad God has forgotten me, that is all. "Your loving Son, "TIM." And Tim such was his natural depravity did not much care. So callous and indifferent did he become that he ceased to be hurt when the boys called him "Carrots." In fact he laughed.
