He crossed and recrossed the room once or twice before he spoke again, pausing now and again in his walk in front of a large map of Paris and its environs that hung upon the wall, his tall figure erect, his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed before him as if he saw right through the walls of this squalid room, and across the darkness that overhung the city, through the grim bastions of the mighty building far away, where the descendant of an hundred kings lived at the mercy of human fiends who worked for his abasement.
I wonder whether he will say tomorrow that he always liked me. 'Dear Judy, I don't think he will be occupied with you tomorrow. 'Oh, surely, just a little, if I go tonight. 'You won't go tonight. She looked at me helplessly. I felt as if I were insisting upon her abasement instead of her salvation. 'I wish 'You're not going you're not! You can't! Look!
We must feel concerning sinners as the Father does, "who so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life;" as the Son, who exchanged the abodes of peace for the abasement of flesh and the agonies of the cross; as the Holy Ghost, who is willing to dwell in our polluted hearts, consuming the dross with his own vital energies.
If Jean, who had no foresight or anticipation of consequences, should, urged by some supposed necessity of the case, call to him through the door bolted against Time and its concerns, the saint who had been kneeling before God in utter abasement, self-contempt, and wretchedness, would suddenly wrench it open, a wrathful, indignant man, boiling brimful of angry words and unkind objurgations, through all which would be manifest, notwithstanding, a certain unhappy restraint.
This showed him her own abasement that, at any rate, of grief; and made him feel with a rush of friendliness that he liked to be with her. The rush had quickened when she met his groan with an attenuation. "We shall at all events if that's anything be together." It was his own good impulse in herself. "It's what I've ventured to feel. It's much."
To my mind all things lay in deep confusion and abasement. Overcome with bodily weakness and with bitter self-reproach, I even feared that to ask any questions might show want of gratitude. But a thing of that sort could not always last, and before very long I was quite at home with the history of Mr. Gundry.
"With us woman must be at the same time mistress and nurse, and her strength is not sufficient. That is why we have hysteria, nervous attacks, and, among the peasants, witchcraft. The reason is clear, and this is the cause of the intellectual and moral decline of woman, and of her abasement. "If they would only reflect what a grand work for the wife is the period of gestation!
"But I doesn't know nothing o' navigation, Cap'," said the boatswain, who felt keenly my abasement, and was loth to "step into my shoes," as it were. "Oh, never mind that," replied the skipper. "Mr Macdougall will give you the courses to steer; and, if anything particular happens which I don't expect, with the wind we have now and us in the open sea why, you can call me."
To them she appeared a supernatural creature a kind of prophetess, sent upon earth for their correction and abasement. On a solid ecclesiastical-looking oak table in one of the windows Miss Granger had a row of brass-bound money-boxes, inscribed, "For the Home Mission," "For the Extra Curate Society," and so on boxes into which Miss Granger's friends and visitors were expected to drop their mite.
This seemed to me the most degraded of all conceivable conditions, and I fell into a redoublement of weeping over my own abasement and imbecility. My attention was suddenly attracted to a large looking-glass opposite my bed, and it occurred to me that in my then condition of nerves nothing was more likely than that I should turn visionary and fancy I beheld apparitions.
