I feel more and more that we can lean upon you as our earthly support, and not find you a 'broken reed. While so many sons are breaking their mothers' hearts, you are filling mine with hope and joy. I am no prophetess, my son, but from the sure word of God I predict for you much happiness and prosperity for thus cheering and providing for your widowed mother. Mark my words.
I lost consciousness, and when I awoke again I was in a comfortable bed among other beds, and on the wall facing me I saw inscribed in golden letters my own name. To cut things short the institution which had received me had been founded by Bendel and the widowed Mina with my money, and in my honour had been called the Schlemihlium.
So there was a method in his madness; and after a widowed career of more than forty years, he, too, died at last with some guineas in his purse. Forty years and upwards is a great edax rerum, and a wonderful chemical power. It acted forcibly upon the gay Captain Walshawe.
And let me begin by saying, that if circumstances would permit me to continue the paternal imposture, that would be quite enough for me; unluckily, I am known in my own country as an old bachelor; so that I cannot suddenly produce a widowed daughter, without considerable unpleasantness for us both.
I felt terribly old and ugly and dowdy and widowed. It couldn't have been jealousy, for I just love that girl. I want most awfully to hug her very slimness and it was more what she might think of poor dumpy me than what any man in Hillsboro, Tennessee, or Paris, France, could possibly feel on the subject that hurt so hard.
One of these was Eneya, sister of Oshana, and now the wife of Shlemon, in Amadia. Her widowed mother had fled with her children to Oroomiah before the Koordish invasion of her native Tehoma. Few children have so deep a sense of sin as she had, or exercise such implicit trust in the Saviour.
Tertullian speaks equally plainly, stating the objection made in his days also to Christianity, that "the nations who are strangers to all understanding of spiritual powers, ascribe to their idols the imbuing of waters with the self-same efficacy." "So they do," he answers quite frankly, "but these cheat themselves with waters that are widowed.
In the tumult of gratified emotions at recovering her lost child, or rather children, for she had begun to think them all for ever gone from her the widow almost forgets that she is widowed. Only for a brief moment, however. The other great bereavement has been too recent to remain long out of her thoughts, and soon returns to them in its full afflicting bitterness.
And seein' it's so," with good-natured tolerance, he added, "I reckon I'll break rules for oncet and stand ye another drink." He stood another drink and yet another, and eventually put the doubly widowed Byers to bed in his own room. These were but details of a larger tribulation, and yet he knew instinctively that his cup was not yet full.
"'Lead, kindly Light." "Is it not too much?" he inquired, glancing towards his widowed sister. "I want it as much as he does," she answered fervently.
