And the old, sweet, home words with which a mother soothes her babe, with which a lover woos his bride, the old words of God, and home and native land, are the words that are rich in association and in power to move the heart. A bird lines its nest with feathers plucked from its own breast, and the heart steeps the dear, simple speech of home life in sacred associations.
Lantier stood aghast at this anger and this torrent of words, but presently he plucked up courage and bade her hold her tongue and told her she should not talk of his friends in that way. As for himself, he was sick and tired of other people's affairs; in future he would let them all take care of themselves, without a word of counsel from him. January arrived, cold and damp.
He asked a heap of questions, and I just told him to keep a stiff upper lip and we'd see him through, and he plucked up courage and said he believed he'd be able to have hope again; at all events he'd go on duty right off.
'Can't make up your mind? she continued, and plucked both a white and red rose, saying: 'There! choose your colour by-and-by, and ask Juley to sew the one you choose in your button-hole. She laid the roses in his hand, and walked away. She must have known that there was a burden of speech on his tongue.

He showed a decided interest in you that day on the island. To my eye it looked very like love at first sight; and I cannot help believing that his sole errand in Marietta is to see you again."

"So I instinctively felt ever since I saw her at the meeting-house door." "Perhaps mother gave thee a bit of a sermon?" "She has given me two things that a man can't be a man without hope and courage." "Well, thee does kind of look as if thee had plucked up heart." "You, too, are catching the infection of this home," Miss Warren said, in a low voice, as she stood near me. "So soon?
