This is the unexplained moral paradox in the career of a man of chivalrous honour and strict probity: but the fault did not prevent Scott from writing his novels and poems. Why, then, should the few bare records of Shakspere's monetary transactions make HIS authorship impossible? The objection seems weakly sentimental. Macaulay scolds Scott as fiercely as Mr.
She sobbed weakly in his arms, but her own arm was still tight about his neck. He felt it for the first time. "But I had made up my mind I did make it up while we talked." They were back on the couch. He held her close and she no longer resisted, but nestled in his arms with quick little sighs, as if relieved from a great strain. He kissed her forehead and hair as she dried her eyes.
She took a deep breath and tried to maintain a supercilious dignity. "You certainly have been repressing your hatred of me, mister. I for one am certainly glad that you have had your little catharsis." She feigned a smile and spoke weakly. "Please! Leave me and my imagined sickness. You are hurting my head." "I don't hate you. I love you. I sleep in the same bed with you."
In the middle of April, if many fry are in each box, they should be thinned out, and other boxes brought into use. The smaller fish may then be taken from one or two boxes and put into another by themselves. In feeding care should be taken that the small and weakly fish get a fair share of the food.
They seldom ill-treated me in act; but knowing, I suppose, that the imagination is often very apprehensive in weakly bodies like mine, they took a delight in threatening me, conjuring up all manner of imaginary horrors, and so working on me that my sleep was disturbed by hideous nightmares.
He laughed weakly at the recollection, for she had been as innocent of garb as Eve before the fig-leaf adventure. Squat and lean at the same time, asymmetrically limbed, string-muscled as if with lengths of cordage, dirt-caked from infancy save for casual showers, she was as unbeautiful a prototype of woman as he, with a scientist's eye, had ever gazed upon.
Thinking I wished to hurry our departure in search of breakfast, she shook her head and murmured weakly: "I am not able to go on just now. I assure you, I cannot even stand. All strength seems to have gone out of me." As if to illustrate, she raised her hand a few inches: it trembled a moment, then fell as if powerless.
There was no reply, and none when he called again and again. He staggered weakly to his feet, groping for matches and candles. A panic of abject terror came on him; the matches were gone! He turned towards the fireplace: a single coal glowed in the white ashes.
He hinted uncomfortably, in his conversations with Diana, at the long list of his obligations to Lady Niton money lent, influence exerted, services of many kinds spread over four or five years, ever since, after a chance meeting in a country-house, she had appointed herself his earthly, providence, and he an orphan of good family, with a small income and extravagant tastes had weakly accepted her bounties.
Daniel Romaine, solicitor of London; High Holborn is our address, sir. It was only by the ecstasy of the relief that I knew how horribly I had been frightened. I flung my stick on the road. 'Romaine? I cried. 'Daniel Romaine? An old hunks with a red face and a big head, and got up like a Quaker? My dear friend, to my arms! 'Keep back, I say! said Dudgeon weakly. I would not listen to him.
