She delights in it; for she knows oh, she knows nearly everything herself, and can talk, oh, like a bird and the books she reads, why, you would be astonished. Don't go; it's only a little while, you know, and she'll be so disappointed." I heard the words, but hardly noticed them, I was so deep in my thinkings and strugglings. He left me, but I didn't know.
You see that on a large scale, for instance, in the history of the slow progress which Christian principle has made in leavening the world's thinkings. It took eighteen centuries to teach the Church that slavery was unchristian.
That is, though men may not shelter themselves under legal repentance, cold profession, good meaning, thinkings, and doings: yet all these things must be measured, and weighed in the balance of God's most righteous law: and, as I said, whatever in that day is not found the righteousness of God, it will be found a refuge of lies, and will be drowned by the overflowing of the wrath of God, as the waters of Noah overflowed the world.
Finally Noel came up out of his thinkings and said: "The first shall be last and the last first there's authority for this surprise. But at the same time wasn't it a lofty hoist for our big bull!"

To 'put her away' was the only course possible, though it racked his soul, and to do it 'privily' was the last gift that his wounded love could give her. No wonder that 'these things' kept him brooding sadly on them, nor that his day's troubled thinkings coloured his sleeping hours!
Many a boy when he reads this will say, "Of course it is!" and when the time comes, will be a sneak. Those crows set Clare thinking; and it was well; for if he had not done as those thinkings taught him, he would have given a very different turn to his history.
At the same time, devoutly as I honour him, I cannot but count him intended for thinkings of larger scope than such as then seemed characteristic of him. I imagine his early history had affected his faculties, and influenced the mode of their working. How indeed could it have been otherwise!
She was carrying France upon her heart, and she found the burden not light.
