Nevertheless, she gave no assent to the girl's logic; she only replied: "But you didn't meet him there; you hurried away from New York, after I was willing you should stay.

"I know I wasn't so calm.
When it came, our lad drew a chair to the bedside of his patient and said: "Now, sir, if you feel able to talk, and are willing to tell me how you happen to be living in this place, I shall be more than glad to listen." "I am willing," replied the other, "but must be brief, since talking has become an exertion.
But tell me, Carl, what you thought when you imagined you heard the voice." "I did not think, but merely replied, 'indeed." "But, Carl, with this superstition you will make your father sorrowful." "Sorrowful? I do not think so. Should he be sorrowful because our Saviour in his grace is willing to call me to his fold? Instead of being sorrowful, the day of my departure should be a festive day.
"Still, I should not think of asking him to come unless you were willing to meet him." "My knowing him makes no difference.

"Cynthia, if I had suspected if you had ever given me any reason to suppose that you were willing to think of me as more than a friend, I would not have spoken. I am not worthy of you; I can but drag you back from a brilliant career; it is not fair to you." The girl stood regarding him meditatively; there was neither fear nor sign of yielding in her eyes.
He was ready to save Calais at the peril of his life, to conquer it in person, and not by the hands of any of his lieutenants; but having done so, he was not willing at so great a loss of reputation without and at so much peril within to deliver it to her Majesty or to any-one else. He would far rather see it fall into the hands of the Spaniards.
On his return to Tette, the Doctor tried hard to ransom and restore the girl to her parents, and offered twice the value of a slave; the padre seemed willing, but she could not be found.
I mean to go myself to the other Indian village to get the girl I want. You don't have to come. You can ride after Germain, and tell him I decided I didn't need you."
