While doing this, you can be sure in the future, as in the past, that you and your families will be surrounded by the most patient, faithful, law-abiding, and unresentful people that the world has seen.... so in the future, in our humble way, we shall stand by you with a devotion that no foreigner can approach, ready to lay down our lives, if need be, in defence of yours, interlacing our industrial, commercial, civil, and religious life with yours in a way that shall make the interests of both races one."
They beat her, thrashed her, kicked her for no reason till her body was one bruise. And that mother could sleep, hearing the poor child’s groans! Can you understand why a little creature, who can’t even understand what’s done to her, should beat her little aching heart with her tiny fist in the dark and the cold, and weep her meek unresentful tears to dear, kind God to protect her?
The girl's enthusiasm left her husband caught in a wave of apprehension. He saw with a growing sense of horror the meaning of that sudden revolt. This was displayed in his manner. Nor was Effie unobservant of it. Nor unresentful. She shrugged her perfect shoulders with assumed unconcern. "That reward those ten thousand dollars are mine ours if I choose. And I do choose."
Can you recollect her virtues, her innocence, her spotless manners, her unresentful temper, and not run distracted with remorse? Have you not killed her in the first bloom of her youth? Can you bear to think that she now lies mouldering in the grave through your cursed contrivance, that deserved a crown, ten thousand times more than you deserve to live?

"Of course you can the greatest." "But why hasn't he introduced them to his Pasmers? What? Eh? Oh!"
She confessed they looked strong and well, and sighed an unresentful envy. "Yes," said he, "they do, and I wouldn't give two cents on the dollar for such as don't."

Since she never did, he always wondered at her bringing this out as a fresh grievance against him; but his wonder was unresentful, and he said good-humoredly: "You sparkle so that I thought you had on your diamonds." She sighed and blushed again. "It must be," he continued, "that you've been to a dressmaker's opening.
These words rang in Roy's ears, and as he said them over to himself there appeared in his mind's eye the picture of Tom Slade, stolid, unimpassioned, patient, unresentful standing there near the doorway of the bank building and listening to the tirade of abuse which he, Roy, hurled at him.
