And the answer came quickly from her thoughts. "At any time you could have called him to your side, and you knew it. Now you have sent him away for always." During the week the sense of loss, the feeling that everything was unbearably incomplete, grew stronger and stronger within her. She had no heart for the losing battle in which she was engaged.
Higgs and Dudley had then left the house together, while she was too sick with fright to move. How she had remained outside the house until she saw Max; and how, when he was gone, and Mrs. Higgs had come back, she found that the manner of the supposed old woman had changed toward her and grown unbearably cruel and harsh.
Supposing it imperative with her to choose? She looked up, and the bird of broader wing darkened the whole sky, bidding her know that she had no choice. Emma was requested to make Mr. Redworth acquainted with her story, all of it: 'So that this exalted friendship of his may be shaken to a common level. He has an unbearably high estimate of me, and it hurts me.
Atterbury not only made no further objection, but acknowledged the urgent necessity of the mother's presence in the North. The idle life of Rosedale had grown unbearably irksome to Merry, too.

But all this was done without joyous self-devotion, sometimes with extravagant zeal, sometimes lazily, and for days not at all. She had become excessively irritable, but after being unbearably arrogant one day, would seem sorrowful and ill at ease the next, though without asking the offended person's pardon.
Azorka must have understood that the conversation was concerning him. He turned his head upwards and grinned plaintively, as though to say, "Yes, at times I suffer unbearably, but please excuse it!" It was an August night, there were stars, but it was dark.
But when one remembered how splendidly she always responded to any claim on her own kindness one forgave her for being a little exacting. Perhaps Miss Macnaughtan's greatest handicap in life was her immense capacity for suffering suffering poignantly, unbearably, not only for her own sorrows but for the sorrows of others.
