When, after blindly inviting death, Leslie had emerged from several engagements unscathed, his surprise and perhaps a natural relief at finding himself whole became tinged with a certain apprehension lest he survive those deliberately courted dangers, only to succumb to the ills and privations of camp life. Cuban equipment was of the scantiest.
I am getting old, and it is a relief to think of Penelope settled in life with a thoroughly respectable, steady young man like Talcott; but, do you know, I suspect sometimes that Mrs. Bannister had more to do with Penelope making up her mind than is altogether wise? She has talked about him continually, and between his coming to the house continually and Mrs.
I acquiesced, thinking anything in the way of distraction would be a welcome relief. Imagine my feelings when I saw our caleche, a mere ghost of its former self, dragged by four artillery horses and postilioned by two heavy dragoons.
There may be men in whose turning from implicit to explicit denial, no such element of relief is concerned I can not tell; but although the structure of Paul Faber's life had in it material of noble sort, I doubt if he was one of such. The summer at length reigned lordly in the land. The roses were in bloom, from the black purple to the warm white. Ah, those roses!
Tilda called softly to the prisoners, and to her relief Arthur Miles answered out of the darkness, assuring her, albeit in a muffled voice, that they were both safe. "But what's the meanin' of it?" Tilda demanded again. "The igsplosion's the meanin' of it." "But there ain't been no explosh'n. And anyway," said Tilda, "you ain't tellin' me you been blown 'ere?"
The guard opened the door, and the two passengers entered just as the stationmaster called out a remonstrance not to delay the train. The old gentleman sank back in his seat with a sigh of relief. "I'm so glad we caught the train," he said breathlessly.
What a relief it must be to you, my dear, to be so very comfortable in that respect, and not to be worried by those odious men! How do you do it, Cherry?
It was Nature's revolt from pain, and not her appetite for pleasure, which drove him to the drug; and though De Quincey, with his almost comical malice, remarks that, though Coleridge began in the desire to obtain relief "there is no proof that he did not end in voluptuousness," there is on the other hand no proof whatever that he did so end until the habit was formed.
As the other, however, had never again spoken to him on the subject, he simply told him that he was going out in the afternoon, without indicating the motive of his absence. At the same time he knew what secret relief Beauchene would experience when he at last learnt that the whole business was at an end the child cast adrift and the mother following her own course.
Du Tillet thus held Raoul by the halter of an IOU. By means of this relief the funds of the paper were secured for six months. In the eyes of some writers six months is an eternity.
