During the sojourn of their Majesties in that city, a misunderstanding infinitely more serious than any by which it had been preceded took place between them; and at length became so threatening, that although the night was far advanced, the King despatched D'Armagnac, his first valet-de-chambre, to desire the immediate presence of M. de Sully at the castle.
But the fire died as quickly as it had flared. Pity had come and quenched it, pity that an unselfish life of suffering and loneliness should be crowned with these. The Colonel longed then to clasp his friend in his arms. Quarrels they had had by the hundred, never yet a misunderstanding.
The prospective bride looks around among her acquaintances and sees the lack of true happiness, thinks that her case will be an exception, that her marriage will turn out all right and then goes blindly ahead into the new life without any preparation. A large percentage of the unhappiness among married couples comes through a misunderstanding of the marital relations.
"There was a man told me once," Lord Arbuthnot began, leisurely "he was a great chum of mine, and it illustrates what Sir Henry has said, I think he was engaged to a girl, and he had a misunderstanding or an understanding with her that opened both their eyes, at a dance, and the next afternoon he called, and they talked it over in the drawing-room, with the tea-tray between them, and agreed to end it.
I'm sure she's been making love to Adolphus all the week!" "No, mamma, she has not. Don't be unfair to Fanny. If there is anyone in fault it is Adolphus; but, as you say, what shall we do to prevent further misunderstanding? I think I had better tell papa the whole." And so she did, on the following morning.
Henry Grantly had written the following short letter to Mrs Grantly when he had made up his mind to pull down the auctioneer's bills. I have postponed the sale, not liking to refuse you anything. As far as I can see, I shall be forced to leave Cosby Lodge, as I certainly shall do all I can to make Grace Crawley my wife. I say this that there may be no misunderstanding with my father.
Your daughter and I, four long years ago, exchanged our vows: you flattered me with the hope that those vows were not displeasing to you; since then a misunderstanding, deadly to my happiness and to hers, divided us. I come now to explain it. My birth may have seemed obscure; I come to clear it: my conduct doubtful; I come to vindicate it. I find Lord Ulswater my rival.
And besides We're going to live, Ann Veronica! Oh, the things we'll do, the life we'll lead! There'll be trouble in it at times you and I aren't going to run without friction. But we've got the brains to get over that, and tongues in our heads to talk to each other. We sha'n't hang up on any misunderstanding. Not us. And we're going to fight that old world down there.
She had never realized anything hopelessly wrong in the affair; it was like a misunderstanding that could be explained away, if the different people would listen to reason. Sue released herself, and said, looking away from her friend: "It has been hard. He is dead; but we haven't even been allowed to see him laid in the grave." "Oh, perhaps," Louise sobbed out, "he isn't dead!
And he knew that enmity, mysterious yet definite, might arise even between Hermione and him; that even they two inexorably under the law that has made all human beings separate entities, and incapable of perfect fusion might be victims of misunderstanding, of ignorance of the absolute truth of personality.
