These vigorous exercises gave him restful sleep, and each day saw a great stride in his health from the spiritless anaemia of his first awakening.
Trix eats hers with a relish. Trix possesses one of the chief elements of perpetual human happiness an appetite that never fails, a digestion that, in her own metaphorical American language, "never goes back on her." But Edith looks fagged and spiritless.
On the following morning, I observed in her countenance a restless anxiety which I had never seen before. She watched the entrance of every person with an eager expectation, which was as often succeeded by evident disappointment. At dinner your departure was mentioned: she spilt the wine she was carrying to her lips, and for the remainder of the day was spiritless and melancholy.
How much nobler is the contemplation of beauty heightened by virtue, and commanding our esteem and love, while it draws our observation? 'How faint and spiritless are the charms of a coquette, when compared with the real loveliness of Sophronia's innocence, piety, good-humour, and truth; virtues which add a new softness to her sex, and even beautify her beauty!
"She is too sweet, too pretty for such an ogre." "She shall not marry him, whatever comes," he says, decisively. Walking rapidly homeward, he resolves to write again to Eugene.

At length, he himself re-appeared among his guests; but it was no longer the same pale, spiritless countenance they had beheld when he left them; from pale he had become livid; and from spiritless, annihilated. A breathing, living specter, he advanced with his arms stretched out, his mouth parched, like a shade that comes to salute the friends of former days.
No; I tell you to your teeth that none but spiritless caitiffs and cowards would, in the presence of death and sorrow in the miserable cabin of the destitute widow and her orphan boy exhibit the ruffianly outrages of men who are wanton in their cruelty, merely because they know there is none to resist them; and I may add, because they think that their excesses, however barbarous, will be shielded by higher authority.
Not all summer, by Jupiter! Her father must not insist on her playing that game too long, even though she does play it so well."
