Philippe allowed the silence of a moment to swallow the emotions that had just developed themselves.
It was a handsome, high-bred face the ancestral face of all the Kingslands that of this twelve-year-old boy. "Here, papa!" "My boy! my boy! whom I have loved so well whom I have shielded so tenderly. My precious, only son, I must leave you at last!" The boy stifled a sob as he bent and kissed the ice-cold face. Young as he was, he had the gravity and self-repression of manhood already.

But at this moment I will ask nothing which you may feel reluctance in granting.
"So much the better Louise. Such fear is right; such fear is as it should be on the evening before marriage. I love thee tenderly, and will, therefore, declare all my thoughts on this subject without disguise. I am not as yet an old aunt. At seven-and-twenty years, one still looks forward into life with pleasure, the world still presents a bright side to us. I have an excellent husband.
"There's another verse in that book she liked," said Euphrasia, "but it always was sad to me." Victoria took the book, and read again: "Weary wind, who wanderest Like the world's rejected guest, Hast thou still some secret nest On the tree or billow?" Euphrasia laid the volume tenderly on the shelf, and turned and faced Victoria.
Jim did not insist, for he loved Sally tenderly; and he felt, to the core of his heart, that the least he could do for her now was to let her live where she chose to live: but he grew more sullen and dogged, day by day; and Sally grew sadder and quieter, and things were fast coming to a bad pass, when Hetty Gunn's generous offer came to them, like a great rift of sunlight in a black sky.
The poor consumptive child had just quietly expired, without a murmur, her looks resting on her sister, whom she tenderly loved. No language can describe the heart-rending cry of anguish uttered by the diamond-cutter's wife at this frightful announcement, for she understood it all.
