Still he was a handsome man, and when not tipsy, was good-humoured and generous; but the bivouacs, even of a general, were very different from the luxuries to which I had been accustomed. I lived badly, and was housed worse.
Farland had been quiet, gathering his strength, and suddenly he began to struggle. It was nothing worse than annoyance for his opponents. He was unable to make an outcry that would attract attention, and he was unable to put up an effective fight. They threw him upon the ground again and held him there.
"At which both will continue to play until earnest is reached and a worse earnest than the present. Take the case as you will, and it is one of the saddest and least hopeful that I have seen." Irene did not reply. "You must elect some course of action, and that with the least possible delay," said Mr. Delancy. "This letter requires an immediate answer.
To have Prussia on the eastern frontier of France, and Prussian influence beyond the Pyrenees, was worse in his eyes than the selection of Montpensier; and it was certainly a matter for diplomatic consideration.
They had not yet come to the flat ground over which a litter might be carried with comparative ease; but nevertheless the men yielded, and she was placed in a recumbent position upon blankets, supported by boughs of trees. In this way she went through that day with somewhat less of suffering than before, and without that necessity for self-exertion which had been worse to her than any suffering.
It may have been that the money needed was not forthcoming, or, what Southey remarks is "quite probable," "because it is certain that Bunyan, thinking himself in conscience bound to preach in defiance of the law, would soon have made his case worse than it then was."

Many of our Lord's most characteristic sayings are so associated with narratives of miracles that the two cannot be torn apart: 'I have not seen so great faith, no, not in Israel; 'My Father worketh hitherto, and I work; 'Son, thy sins be forgiven thee; 'Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees; 'It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs; 'This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting; 'Were there not ten cleansed, but where are the nine? 'Sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. In fact, there can be no real doubt that our Lord believed that He could work miracles, and professed to work them, and that His disciples believed that He worked many, and included that fact in their meaning when they spoke of Him as going about doing good.
