"Oh Jane!" she said in simple woe and bewilderment. "I don't understand any of it. How could how could they want to hurt me!" Her innocence was so fatuous that she thought that because she had been kind to them they could not hate or wish to injure her. But something for the first time made her begin to quail. She sat, and tried to recover herself.
Would that the human race especially its juvenile section understood better the value of that inestimable virtue! The pony began to pull back at the sound of "wo!" Its portion in childhood had probably been woe when it refused to recognise the order. The result was that poor Tolly's right arm, over which was thrown the pony's rein, had to bear the strain of conflicting opinions.
"By woe, the soul to daring action swells; By woe, in plaintless patience it excels: From patience prudent, clear experience springs, And traces knowledge through the course of things. Thence hope is formed, thence fortitude, success, Renown whate'er men covet and caress." This performance was always considered by himself as his masterpiece; and Mr.
But Doggie knew that acquiescence was the way of happiness and protest the way of woe. At first he made few acquaintances beyond those with whom he was intimately associated. It seemed more politic to obey his instincts and remain unobtrusive in company and drift away inoffensively when the chance occurred.
So he listened and sighed, and in a low and plaintive voice, significant of hidden woe and much "soul suffering," to quote from another effusion, he read to her fragments of the "Light of Asia," which she could not in the least comprehend, but which she bluntly criticised as "not half bad to listen to if you felt drowsy."
Ah, me! how often in this world that which we mean for the greatest good turns out the source of the cruelest woe. Dorothy heard of the plan, and agreed to it eagerly. "Oh, thank you thank you for the happy thought, Mrs. Kemp!" she cried; "for I am lonely so pitifully lonely. Yes, I would give the world for a girl of my own age to be a companion to me until until I marry Harry."
And now the women are clustered round on the pit-bank in haggard expectation, the very picture of woe, some wild in their cries, others rocking themselves to and fro to still, if it may be, their misery; and others bowed down to the earth, the very image of mute despair. And now the wheels rapidly revolve, the rope runs swiftly, at last it slackens speed.
Take care! It is my life that I am going to defend, and as truly as there is a God in heaven, I shall defend it well. A man who is determined to blow his brains out if he is defeated, is a terribly dangerous adversary. Woe to you, if I ever find you standing between me and the Count de Chalusse's millions!"
Ah! the vulture has eaten the pigeon, the wolf has eaten the lamb; the lion has devoured the buffalo with sharp horns; man has killed the lion with an arrow, with a sword, with gunpowder; but the Horla will make of man what we have made of the horse and of the ox: his chattel, his slave and his food, by the mere power of his will. Woe to us!
I told her my orders from M. Beauchamp; she first extended her arms to prevent me, but after a moment's reflection, 'Yes, go, Florentin, said she, 'and may he come quickly." "Yes, my mother," said Albert, "I will return, and woe to the infamous wretch! But first of all I must get there." He went back to the room where he had left Monte Cristo.
