Surtaine was pained. Hal refused the proffered gloss. "At least you and I can call things by their right names now," said he. But however Hal might talk, what he wrote met his elder's unqualified approval, as it appeared in the proof sent him by his son.
And the quick, pained way in which the Doctor answered showed her that he understood. "Dr. Douglass will not let himself believe it." Then a long silence fell between them. The Doctor kept his position, leaning against the mantel, but never for a moment allowed his eyes to turn away from that motionless figure before him. Only the loving, pitying Savior knew what was passing in that young heart.
At the first moment it did not even occur to him that he had done a grievous wrong to Chilo, and had him flogged for the very acts for which he had rewarded him previously. He was too much of a Roman yet to be pained by another man's suffering, and to occupy his attention with one wretched Greek.
When she heard the news she reflected that it would perhaps remove the girl from her boy immeasurably, that he would be pained, so she said nothing. Every night when he came home she had watched his face to see if he had heard. Now Ellen told him. "You know what Miss Cynthia Lennox is going to do for me," she said, abruptly, almost boastfully, she was so eager in her partisanship of Cynthia.
"Not content with going abroad, why does she want to go back there at once?" "No doubt she will change her mind when she sees us. She has not the least balance."

"Better so, if it is to be." And with that I drew aside the curtains and pushed the leaves of the window apart. She remained standing in the room, watching me, her face pale, and hex eyes pained and puzzled.
Forgive me, John," turning to him with a sudden penitence, "I should not have pained you by saying these things; you who have been so infinitely good to me. Go your way across the world, and forget me. Ah! have I not been a curse to every one who bears the name of Kynaston?" He was silent from very pity.

"Nay, such service is almost your duty; you yourself once thought so too. Why have you changed your mind?" "I have not changed my mind, but circumstances have changed my actions. As for duty duty begins at home. Believe me, I have thought well over the subject. Brother, we will not refer to it again." I saw that something in the matter pained him, and obeyed his wish.
