Nor much in the future: a blank stretch of punishment to the end. He was an old man: was it easy to bear? What if he were black? what if he were born a thief? what if all the sullen revenge of his nature had made him an outcast from the poorest poor? Was there no latent good in this soul for which Christ died, that a kind hand might not have brought to life? None?
We are now traversing a level plain, and as this region was blessed with rain in season, it seems much more fertile than some other portions of the country; but the poorest harvests I ever saw in any part of America would be rated as abundant here.
"I help my husband to the best of my ability with the estate and try to keep an eye on the poorest tenants. And then I practise the piano a good deal. I haven't time for much besides." "I say, do you play?" said Nap, keenly interested. "I do myself, a little, not the piano the violin. Lucas likes it, or I suppose I should have given it up long ago.
"It will be the happiest way if you constrain us to love and cherish you as your due. But if not, these are charities that God has put into every hand that is reached out to Him, that the very humblest and poorest may have the best of alms to give." "Alms!" sighed the lady.
But there was Madame's little income of two hundred a year: that formed a basis, not altogether an insecure or despicable one. It would pay more than the rent, with the rates and taxes. The yearly income from Felicita's marriage settlement, which no representations could persuade her to touch, was to go to the gradual repayment of Roland's debts, the poorest men being paid first, and Mr.
"He's old, and he's poor the poorest man, ain't he, boys? the very poorest man in Paradise." The child looked puzzled. It would have taken a wiser head than hers to understand the minds of the men about her. "I thought old Pap was rich," she faltered. "He ain't," said the blacksmith, hugging her tight. "He's poorer than all of us poor folks put together."
Coming from America and particularly from democratic Bayport, where everyone is as good as anyone else provided he behaves himself, the class distinction in Mayberry was strange at first. I do not mean that there was not independence there; there was, among the poorest as well as the richer element. Every male Mayberryite voted as he thought, I am sure; and was self-respecting and independent.
The poor-law commission of 1839 reported that two million three hundred thousand of the agricultural laborers of Ireland were 'paupers; that those immediately above the lowest rank were the worst-clad, worst-fed, and worst-lodged peasantry in Europe. True indeed! They were lodged in styes, clothed in rags, and fed on the poorest quality of potato.
That doesn't suit me. I want to work; I expect to. I want to paddle my own canoe. I may be the poorest M.D. that ever put up a sign, but I'm going to put that sign up just the same. And if I starve I shan't ask him or anyone else to feed me." He laughed again as he said it, but there was a determined ring in his voice and a square set to his chin which Mary noticed and liked.
The poorest bondman's wife rejoiced to bind more and more closely the husband who had once loved her she had wickedly estranged hers. Seeking protection she had approached his hearthstone shivering, but she had found it warmer than she had hoped, and his generosity and love fell upon her wounded soul like balm. True, he could not restore what she had lost, but he could give a welcome compensation.
