"Why, Marian, do you not see how infinitely more to me you are already, although scarcely beyond the wish to be different from what you were? I have talked to you as a man talks to a woman in the dearest and most unselfish relation of life. There is one thing, however, you never can know, and that is a father's love for a daughter: it is essentially a man's love and a man's experience.
"I wonder if you'd understand me," he said at last, "if I were to tell you that I have for Madame de Mauves the most devoted and most respectful friendship?" "You underrate my intelligence. But in that case you ought to exert your influence to put an end to these painful domestic scenes." "Do you imagine she talks to me about her domestic scenes?" Longmore cried. His companion stared.
Flora and I both liked it so much; but Angus talks of it with a kind of bitter hardness in his voice, and as if it pleased him to let us know all the bad things which had been said about the preacher. My Uncle Drummond put this down at once, with "My son, never repeat a calumny against a good man. You may not know it, but you do Satan's very work for him."
For they must have dressed quite differently from us, and perhaps they knew Charles the First and Oliver Cromwell. Diggory the gravedigger never talks much, but I like to watch him. I think he is rather deaf, for when I asked him if he thought, if he went on long enough, he could dig himself through to the other side of the world, he only said "Hey?" and chucked up a great shovelful of earth.
"Sins are not counted in this wild land. But there are no old memories, no talks with each other. Oh, you cannot think how the loneliness almost freezes up one's very vitals. And I said to myself I will bring Lalotte back with me. Why should we not share the same life and live over together our memories of sunny France? not always sunny, either." "To take me with you" gasping. "Yes, why not?
"D'you realise that one of your men is a philosopher and a poet?" "A very interesting fellow that's what I always say," said Willoughby, distinguishing Mr. Grice. "Though Rachel finds him a bore." "He's a bore when he talks about currents," said Rachel. Her eyes were full of sleep, but Mrs. Dalloway still seemed to her wonderful. "I've never met a bore yet!" said Clarissa.
If a basis for peace talks can be established on the San Antonio foundations and it is my hope and my prayer that they can we would consult with our allies and with the other side to see if a complete cessation of hostilities a really true cease-fire could be made the first order of business. I will report at the earliest possible moment the results of these explorations to the American people.
Lewis, returning at supper-time to the Bird in Hand, found the hunter altered no whit from his habitual tawny lightness, but his father in a mood that he knew, sullen and silent. "Adam's been talking to him," thought the boy. "And it's just the same as when Mrs. Selden talks to him. Let me go not he!"
"And the way to learn the business is not from talks by me," said his father, finally. "You cannot begin at the top." "No! no!" said Jack, aghast. "The top would be quite too insecure, too dizzy to start with." "Right!" the father exclaimed, decidedly. "You must learn each department of itself, and then how it works in with the others. It will be drudgery, but it is best right at the bottom!"
"Look here!" said 'Tenty, coloring with quiet wrath. "I cannot be friendly, even, with a man that talks that way. You had your sport, makin' believe you liked me, and I didn't know better than to believe you was an honest man. I did think a sight of you then, Ed'ard Parker. I a'n't ashamed to own it. I had reason to, for your actions was louder than words.
