You look on more as a spectator, sympathising with the afflictions of either, than feeling the full sting of those afflictions yourself." "Do I not feel acutely for you? I'm a lonely man in the world, and I have taught myself now to centre my affections in your family; my recollections of early years assist me in so doing.
So I settled in my own mind to write to her as soon as I could; that was the only thing I could settle. In punishment, I suppose, for our having been as she called it "so naughty," Mrs. Partridge sent Sarah to put us to bed extra early that evening. Sarah was very kind and sympathising, but I now can see that she was not very sensible. She was angry with Mrs.
Strange that a man should be curious after scandal of centuries old! Not but Charles loves it fresh and fresh also, for, being very much a fashionable man, he is always master of the reigning report, and he tells the anecdote with such gusto that there is no helping sympathising with him the peculiarity of voice adding not a little to the general effect.
She must be used to thinking of things that could go by post because of her mother being in India; only and here Bessie's eager face flushed a little, and Margaret's grave eyes grew graver 'you see it mustn't cost much; that's the worst of it.

I happened once to hold a conversation with him on disciplinary difficulties, thinking that he might have the relief of confiding his troubles to a sympathising friend.
That question, 'What doest thou here? can scarcely be freed from a tone of rebuke; but, like Christ's to the travellers to Emmaus, and many another interrogation from God, it is also put in order to allow of the loaded heart's relieving itself by pouring out all its griefs. God's questions are the assurance of His listening ear and sympathising heart.
Romaine has shown a truly sympathising spirit, and acted the part of a brother.

Thank God, I am out of them.
