And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
He had found it repugnant and difficult, almost to the extent of impossibility, for him to pursue the courtship to which he was only reconciled by a sense of duty to his pocket. It was reserved for his meeting with Capitola at the altar of the Forest Chapel to fire his clammy heart, stagnant blood and sated senses with the very first passion that he had ever known.
This seemed to strike the ass as a repartee, so he brayed at me again by way of rejoinder; and we went on for a while, braying and laughing, until I began to grow a-weary of it, and, shouting a derisive farewell, turned to pursue my way. In so doing it was like going suddenly into cold water I found myself face to face with a prim little old maid. She was all in a flutter, the poor old dear!
But the change of my name, the abruptness with which I removed from place to place, the remoteness and the obscurity which I proposed to myself in the choice of my abode, were all insufficient to elude the sagacity of Gines, or the unrelenting constancy with which Mr. Falkland incited my tormentor to pursue me.
It was one morning in that season of the year when the migratory pigeons pursue their course towards what are termed the "burnt woods," on which they feed, and in such numbers as to cover the surface of the heavens, as with a dense and darkening cloud, that Major Grantham sallied forth at early dawn, with his favorite dog and gun, and, as was his custom, towards Hartley's point.

Is it then desirable that the gods should show no mercy upon sins and mistakes, and that they should harshly pursue us to our ruin? In that case what king will be safe?
It is only when the latter, tired of the shams of life, would pursue the realities, that we become alive to the fact hitherto, I suppose, studiously concealed from us how frail and feeble a creature she is. Lastly, it must not be forgotten that we are discussing a question of casuistry, one which is 'stuff o' the conscience, and where consequently words are all important.
And if you meet me, turn away; shun me as you would a pestilence whose touch is deadly!" The baron was silent. This was in substance what Marie-Anne had said to him, only under another form. "But there is still a wiser course that you might pursue. Everything here is certain to augment the sorrow and despair which afflicts your son.
My first impulse was to give chase, and to attempt their recovery. I did not consider how powerless we were even should our new allies remain faithful. For some time I could not bring myself to tell my fears to Mr Bent; but it was necessary to alter our course if we were to pursue the enemy. At length, therefore, it became necessary for me to tell him what I had seen.
"What is all this to me, child! I wish to hear you speak of Anneke is it true that she is going to be married?" "It is true. I can affirm that much from her own mouth." My dear mother's countenance fell, and I could hardly pursue my wicked equivoque any further. "And she has even had the effrontery to own this to you, Corny?"
