"It is absurd!" "Yes, and the governor looks very much like a man who thinks of amusing himself. He has a face that might cause the devil to appear on earth." "And then the cure, who boasts of his charity!" "Well-ordered charity begins at home." "You do not know your ten commandments, heathen! If the governor asks from himself the alms of great pleasures, it is his duty to grant them."
"Oh, dearest," she went on eagerly, "I tried to put you out of my heart, but I couldn't. I am yours, all yours, body and soul. Love asks but one question do you love me?" "Forever!" he whispered. "In my loneliness and despair I tried to give myself to Ned, but I couldn't, dear. I would have told him so had I been able to reach him though I dreaded to hurt him."
More than one villager approaches me during the few minutes I am engaged in eating dinner, and blandly asks me to quit eating and let him see me ride; one of them, with a view of putting it out of my power to refuse, supplements his request with a few green apples which no European could eat without bringing on an attack of cholera morbus, but which Asiatics consume with impunity.
"There must be a deal of sorrow before I can tell you." "Do you want to tell me?" "If I should dare to want it one minute, I should ask God's pardon the next. When I unlock that box, Steve, there is like to be trouble in Sandal. I think your grandfather would rather the key rusted away." "Does the squire know any thing about them?" "Not he." "If he asks, will you tell him?" "Not yet.
"Now, don't talk nonsense!" he said under his breath, "and listen, my man; if anybody asks you whether you have seen Mr. Milburgh, you haven't, you understand?" "Oh, I understand," said the man. "But I knew you! There's nobody connected with him that I don't remember. He lifted me up out of the gutter, he did. He's my idea of God!"
Hardinge? Ah! I have forgotten that, but I know how you extolled him praised him to the skies recommended him to me as a desirable suitor." She makes an impatient movement, as if to shake something from her. "Why have you come to-day?" asks she. "To plead his cause afresh?" "Not his to-day." "Whose then? Another suitor, maybe? It seems I have more than even I dreamt of."
It is nowhere declared in Scripture that man is to obtain whatever he asks, irrespective of that Sovereign Will which is guided by unerring wisdom as well as infinite love. On the contrary, prayer is an expression of dependence and subjection, and must ever be qualified by submission to His sovereignty: "Nevertheless not my will, but Thine be done."
The mind of man is so strangely formed that, with what he sees and in spite of what he sees, he can conjure up a hundred objects of woe. In truth his brain resembles the dungeons of the Inquisition, where the walls are covered with so many instruments of torture that one is dazed, and asks whether these horrible contrivances he sees before him are pincers or playthings.
Master Jack does not even take her hand, or kiss her; he looks her up and down with a kind of contemptuous admiration, nods, and asks how much luggage? He has, you see, been repulsed for 'gush' on previous occasions. Mademoiselle points to her luggage, which the porter, indeed, has already taken out. He worked in his boyhood on her father's farm, and attends upon her with cheerful alacrity.
He would do anything in the world for him." The discussion with Barbara was being even more fruitless than that with his wife, and Lord Ashbridge rose. "All I can do, then, is to ask you not to back Michael up," he said. "My dear, he won't need backing up. He's a match for you by himself.
