This IF of Wingfold's was, I need hardly now say, an IF of bare honesty, and came of no desire to shake an unthinking confidence. Neither, had it been of the other sort, could it have shaken Rachel's, for her confidence was full of thinking. As little could it shock her, for she hardly missed a sentence that passed between her uncle and his new friend.
Show me the 'good heart' sentence, for I'd see how it is written how GABORD looks with a woman's whimsies round it." I traced the words with my fingers, holding the letter near the torch. "'Yet he will not be rougher than his orders," said he after me, and "'He did me a good service once." "Comfits," he continued; "well, thou shalt have comfits, too," and he fished from his pocket a parcel.
"The sentence of death!" he exclaimed, without in the least changing his position; "the sentence of death! the sentence of death!" saying the words over thrice, with an air of astonishment rather than of horror. "I never expected that! I thought they were going to hear my defence again.
"You will not, I know, be able to make either of them yield; believe me, the evil cannot be repaired, for I will not allow you to use violence, or to exercise your authority." "Very well, Louise, to prove to you how fondly I love you, I will do one thing, I will see Madame; I will make her revoke her sentence, I will compel her to do so." "Compel? Oh! no, no!" "True; you are right.
"But you could get up early, I suppose, on Monday morning and put up the triumphant arch," persisted the doctor. Nancy looked quickly at him with a gleam of hope in her eyes. "If," she began, "someone could go with us " She stopped, but the rest of the sentence was written on her face, and Dr Budge understood as well as though she had spoken it. He nodded gravely.
Then Granny Marrable, released, looked the doctor in the face, saying: "'That the news of my sister's death was?..." and stopped for him to finish the sentence. "Authentic," said he. He did not know whether her look meant that she did not understand the word, and added: "Trustworthy." "I know what you mean," she said. "Go on and say why?" The doctor was fairly frightened at his own temerity.
When one marries, monsieur, it is not in order to parade one's generosity; it is in order to live every day, every hour, every minute, every second beside a man; and if this man is disfigured, as I am, it is a death sentence to marry him!
Isabel, in amazement at his words, that he should tempt her to the same fault for which he passed sentence upon her brother, said, "I would do as much for my poor brother as for myself; that is, were I under sentence of death, the impression of keen whips I would wear as rubies, and go to my death as to a bed that longing I had been sick for, ere I would yield myself up to this shame."
But he knew that they would be alone but for a minute, and that a minute would not serve for his purpose. She said one soft gentle word of condolence to him, some little sentence that she had been studying to pronounce. All her study was thrown away; for Norman, in his confusion, did not understand a word that she spoke.
The weather in India is often sultry, and since the tale of bricks is a fixed quantity, and the only liberty allowed is permission to work overtime and get no thanks, men occasionally break down and become as mixed as the metaphors in this sentence. Heatherlegh is the nicest doctor that ever was, and his invariable prescription to all his patients is "lie low, go slow, and keep cool."
