And 'my position permitted me to take a woman' I suppose he means that he has money enough to marry on is delicious. Upon my word, I have a good deal of sympathie for he!" "For shame, Owen! It's wicked to make fun of his English." "My dear, I respect him for writing in English. The whole letter is touchingly brave and fine. Confound him! I wish I had never heard of him.
I hadn't the courage to get up and kneel beside the bed as Paula did, but I joined my hands in prayer and closed my eyes as she had done, and with my head buried in the pillow, I murmured, "Oh, my God, I've never asked anything of You, and I wouldn't have dared to have said a word to You tonight if Paula had not said that You heard the prayers even of wicked penitent ones like me.
"I suppose," said Marjorie, pensively, "I ought to care if you've been bad or not, but I don't." "But Marjie, darling," Leonard brought her back and went straight to his point, "were you ever really in love with that German chap you spoke of when I gave you the helmet?" "He was my first love," said Marjorie, with wicked demureness. "I was fifteen and he was eighteen."
I only told her to leave the room. To my great amusement, she shook her bony fist at me, and expressed a frantic wish: "Oh, if I was rich enough to leave this wicked house!" Last night my mind was in a harassed state. Philip was, as usual, the cause of it. Perhaps I acted indiscreetly when I insisted on his leaving London, and returning to this place.

It is the morning of June 4th as I bid farewell to the "Magic City," and, turning my back to the mountains, ride away over very fair roads toward the rising sun.
But in this, as in almost everything else, the wicked old woman spoke scandal. Lord Dumbello was still proud of his wife, and as fond of her as a man can be of a woman whose fondness depends upon mere pride.
"No matter for that, my dear," said she; "the love of one good person is more worth having than that of a thousand wicked ones; nay, if there was no such person in the world, still you must be a good boy; for there is one in Heaven who will love you, and his love is better for you than that of all mankind."
O Chief of all intelligent men, O son of Kunti, the intelligence of this wicked- minded king of the Chedis, as also of all these monarchs, hath become perverse. Indeed, the intelligence of all those whom this tiger among men desireth to take unto himself, becometh perverse even like that of this king of the Chedis.
