I don't like I never saw the woman yet that I " With his eyes on Miss Maggie's flushed, half-averted face, he stopped again abruptly. "Well, I'll be " Even under his breath he did not finish his sentence; but, with a new, quite different expression on his face, he resumed his nervous pacing of the room, throwing now and then a quick glance at Miss Maggie's still averted face.
What objection is there to such a proceeding? we reply. But we never observe that all words of a sentence are to be understood in an implied sense! Is it then not observed, we reply, that one word is to be taken in its implied meaning if otherwise it would contradict the purport of the whole sentence?
What "fearful looking-for of judgment and fiery indignation," when in breathless suspense, they await the just sentence, "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels!" "Death and hell were cast into the lake of fire." Death, or the grave; hell, or the separate state, will never again be needed, as prisons to keep their inmates for trial.
But her confusion lasted only a few seconds. Almost before he had finished his sentence she had pulled herself together. Her hand was in his, and she spoke in her old fluty voice and little grand manner, with the old slow, faintly whimsical smile on her lips and in her eyes.
She sat perfectly still, thinking of it, thinking of the injustice of the sentence that had been pronounced upon her. Though she had deserved much, she had not deserved this. Though she had expected punishment, she had not expected punishment so severe.
But I had already noticed in Bob the exclusiveness of the type to which he belonged, and had welcomed it as one does welcome the little faults of the well-night faultless. It was his last sentence that made me feel too great a hypocrite to go on smiling. "It may not matter to you," I said at length, "but it may to the lady." "I suppose it does matter more to them?"
Then the gaoler talked to me a bit. He never said much to prisoners, and what he said he meant. 'Prisoner Marston, says he, 'you'd better think over your situation and don't mope. Make up your mind like a man. You may have friends that you'd like to live for. Pull yourself together and face your sentence like a man. You're a young man now, and you won't be an old one when you're let out.
Châteauroy summoned the guard, the corporal was placed under arrest, and brought to court-martial. In three days' time Corporal Louis Victor would be shot by order of the court-martial. Cigarette, and Cigarette alone, prevented the sentence being carried out, and that at the cost of her life.
If the sentence on him were not carried out, the lives at least of the others might be regarded as safe, since he was looked upon as the head. It is certain that the authorities, and the Emperor himself, had the most firm intention of having him executed; the more merciful decision was solely due to the Countess Confalonieri's journey to Vienna.
"My own dear North Wind," said Diamond, finishing the sentence for her, and kissing the arm that held him leaning against her. "And now we've settled all this for the time, at least," said North Wind. "But I can't feel quite sure yet," said Diamond. "You must wait a while for that. Meantime you may be hopeful, and content not to be quite sure.
