I could only say, "Thou, O Lord, gave her to me; it pleases Thee to take her back again, for she was Thine." As for my father, his virtue was so generally known, that I must rather be silent, than enter upon the subject. His reliance on God, his faith and patience were wonderful. Both died in July, 1672.
"It won't work, Duke; there isn't a man in our company who would consent to anything of the kind. There could be but one issue to such a trial, and it would be nothing less than the betrayal of our leader or a comrade by us." "Inman declares he will burn down the house if you refuse his terms." "Let him try it as soon as he pleases; you can tell him for Capt. Asbury that his terms are rejected."
I want Thatcher to have his way in that convention, naming the ticket as far as he pleases, and appearing to give me a drubbing. The party's going to be defeated in November there's no ducking that. We'll let Thatcher get the odium of that defeat. About the next time we'll go in and win and there won't be any more Thatcher nonsense. This is politics, you understand."
The Duc du Maine has not been banished to the country, but has permission to go with his family wherever he pleases; he will not, however, remain at Paris, because he no longer enjoys his rank; he chooses rather to live at Sceaux, where he has an elegant mansion and a fine park.
The latter may try as hard as he pleases, he simply cannot achieve real acquaintanceship with a "storekeeper," as we call them, any more than the clerk can achieve real acquaintanceship with him.

But her face was all alight. "Have you been reading some of those stories to her?" "I have not been reading to her at all to-day, if his honour pleases." "Daisy," said Dr.
He has been out in the cold quite a while, and he dislikes meeting strangers, so that I thought I would let him thaw out in my room while I came down and got us a little bite. You needn't expect us at supper, for I have enough here for both." "If it pleases you, Mr. Stone, I have no objections. But I should be glad to send your meals to your room as long as your friend remains."
"I hope not." "You won't. Why should you? A sensible woman with looks especially if she knows how to carry her clothes can stay in New York as long as she pleases, and live off the fat of the land." "That's good news," said Mildred. She began to like the landlady not for what she said, but for the free and frank and friendly way of the saying a human way, a comradely way, a live-and-let-live way.
Punishment, consequences, crippled resources no, he does not ask to escape them now; all as God pleases; these are not the things that matter. Life is all to be boundless love and gratitude and trust; and by and by the new man wakes up to find sin taken away, its consequences undone, the lost faculties restored, and life a fuller and richer thing than ever it was before.
Just as they were about to go back to the reception room, Mr. Tu Fang Wu suggested courteously to his girl guests: "If it pleases you, will you now go up to my daughter's apartments? She does not eat her meals with us when we entertain young men guests. It is not the custom of our country."
