"You have relieved me of indescribable wretchedness; you have given me a new life. How can I be ungrateful enough to have any concealment from you? I love him," she said simply, "I have loved him from first to last even when I was wronging him in my own thoughts; even when I was saying the hardest and the cruellest words to him. Is there any excuse for me, in that?
She did not even think to take her watch, which she sadly missed and regretted afterward; her only thought was to get away as quickly as possible from all danger of violating her conscience and of wronging a noble and generous man. She then put out her light and sat alone in the darkness, waiting for the house to become quiet so that she could steal forth unobserved.
As to Sefton, what better thing could he do for him, than make her think less of herself! or, if that were impossible, at least make her understand that other people did not think so much of her as she had been willingly led to believe! In wronging her he had wronged his friend as well, throwing obstacles in the way of his reception! He had wronged the truth itself!
"I don't think Father McCabe would have done that; he has got me into a great deal of trouble, but you are wronging him. He would not get a ruffian to break into your studio." Rodney and Lucy stood looking at each other, and she had spoken with such conviction that he felt she might be right. "But who else could do it except the priest? No one had any interest in having it done except the priest.
"If it was done by her order, she shall see, the cruel one, that I will brave the death to which she would send me, in order to reach her heart. She is a woman; she will appreciate such valor. I do not know if she is a Venus but I know that without wronging the god Mars I Polyphème Amador de Croustillac am terribly martial; and from beauty to courage there is but a step."
I can endure a certain amount of honest wickedness, but there is a phase of moral weakness that I detest," and for a moment her face wore an aspect that would have made any one wronging her tremble, for it was pure, strong, and almost severe. "I do believe," I said, "that men are more merciful to the foibles of humanity than women." "You are more tolerant, perhaps.
He was wronging something in himself. In her person Enid was still attractive to him. He wondered why she had no shades of feeling to correspond to her natural grace and lightness of movement, to the gentle, almost wistful attitudes of body in which he sometimes surprised her.
I have ever warned you against it, as I myself have prayed to be kept from its devices alas! how futilely at times. Vanity leads to imposture, and imposture to the wronging of others. But if a man repent, and yield all he has, to pay the high price of his bitter mistake, he may thereby redeem himself even in this world.
Parr and others of my chief parishioners were so far from being Christians as to indulge, while they supported the Church of Christ, in operations like that of the Consolidated Tractions Company, wronging their fellow-men and condemning them to misery and hate. And that you, as a lawyer, used your talents to make that operation possible." "Hold on!" cried Langmaid, now plainly agitated.
He had been wronging her; how much there was in her, this wise, old, sweet little Marjorie! "Have you forgotten your errand?" she asked, after a moment. "No, it is at Mr. Howard's, the house beyond yours." "I'm glad you had the errand." "So am I. I should have gone home and not known anything about you." "And I should have stayed tangled in the black berry vines ever so long," she laughed.
