It is likely that a fish has not been caught on that lake pier for forty years; but no matter, the patient fisher watches his cork there all the day long, just the same, and seems to enjoy it.
"It is dreadful, I replied, 'to be separated for more than a year from one's mother, without even hearing what has become of her or of my aunt. 'You are not ill? 'No, monsieur, but the cruellest illness is that of the heart' We can do nothing for you. Be patient, and submit to the justice and goodness of the French people: I had nothing more to say."
Something blue moved there, and in another moment, to his great amazement, there stepped into view the spirited form of Doris Scott, who if he had given the matter a thought he would have supposed to be sitting just then by the bedside of her patient, a half mile back on the road.
The devil now is wiser than of yore: He tempts by making rich not making poor: but she did not conceive that notion in her mind; she contrasted the wealthy patriarch Job, tried by poverty and pain, but just and patient in adversity with the poor labourer Acton, tried by luxury and wealth, and proved to be apostate in prosperity: so she held her tongue, and hitherto had been silent on a matter of so much local wonder as her father's sudden wealth, in the midst of urgent curiosity and extraordinary rumours.
It is about Anne; she has so much to endure: far, far more than I ever had. When my thoughts turn to her, they always see her as a patient, persecuted stranger. I know what concealed susceptibility is in her nature, when her feelings are wounded. I wish I could be with her, to administer a little balm.

"You are theorizing too soon." In the morning he was up betimes and downstairs a good ten minutes before he knew the doctor was likely to appear.
He is patient, ever so patient, but still they fall by the wayside, too caught up in their false perception to rest in him. Fare thee well, Jehu, may you be blessed ere you must die." And with that, Onan and Zimri turned and walked away in the other direction, never to be seen by me again, in this age.
Engels was the able co-adjutor and co-worker with Marx. He was a deep and acute thinker, a most patient investigator, a careful writer. More practical than his friend, he was better able to cope with material problems, and his advice and his purse were always at the disposal of Marx. The latter could hardly have worked under more discouraging conditions.
He hurriedly seized hold of the papers which were lying about, and with his long and bony hand concealed them under the cushions of the chair. The landlord went out of the room, leaving patient and physician together. "Come here, Monsieur Grisart," said the Franciscan to the doctor; "approach closer, for there is no time to lose. Try, by touch and sound, and consider and pronounce your sentence."
It was like a protest, the involuntary startled outcry of the patient under the probe. Crowther's hand grasped his more closely. "I'll go with you on that understanding, Piers," he said. "You'll be wanted then." Piers groaned. "If it hadn't been for that," he said, "I'd have ended the whole business with a bullet before now." "No, you wouldn't," said Crowther quietly.
