"So I came. But you're afraid of him of that breed, that vest-pocket killer. And you're afraid of me, a woman whose cards are all on the table. There isn't a one of you even you, Mr. Beeson, sir, whom I tried to befriend although you may not know it." And she turned upon me. "You have not a word to say. I am never going back, I tell you all. You won't take me, any of you? Very well."
You'd think I'd befriend such a brave, unselfish little chap as that, wouldn't you, lad?" In the interest of his recital Mr. Wadislaw had risen and paced the floor, but he now sat down again, flushed and a bit confused. "What did you do for him, father?" "Hmm. What? Oh! yes. Found out he wanted to come to New York and put him to school. Made a man of him. Gave him a place in the bank.
Fyne interrupted me by stating again earnestly, as though it were something not easy to believe, that his wife and himself had tried to befriend the girl in every way indeed they had! I did not doubt him for a moment, of course, but my wonder at this was more rational. At that hour of the morning, you mustn't forget, I knew nothing as yet of Mrs.
He was scarcely himself, when, compressing his lips, he muttered, "I won't stay here! They mean to kill me and I may as well die in the woods! I will take my gun and go out in the night and storm, and trust in God to befriend me as He has always done." Aye, so He had; and so He will always befriend us, if we but use our opportunities and fly not in His face.
"The ship sailed without her; she came later; and, finding that her name was among the lost, she did not deny it, for she was dead to us, and decided to remain so till she had earned the right to be forgiven. You know how she lived and worked, stood firm with no one to befriend her till you came, and, by years of patient well-doing, washed away her single sin.
"If we have bungled our lives, made grave mistakes, it's better to abide by them courageously than defy well, the accepted laws. "Perhaps you ought not go back to your husband; I would not dare decide that; Ralph Drew would know, but this I know, you should not stay here. I will befriend you, Joyce, in whatever other course you choose. Please let me help you; it would help me."
If she could rescue this poor, ignorant girl from the toils of the man who had misled her, she would befriend her. She might even save her from the depraved husband who was now her only apparent safety. The girl was lovely beyond expression. It would be a splendid thing to do. With this in sight, her interference took on an appearance of dignified philanthropy.
"We have come because we would befriend her, and she sees fit to reject our good offices. There is but one thing left for us to do depart as we came." "But I don't like it a little bit," growled the other. "If you only knew, Mr. Anguish, you would not be so harsh and unjust," remonstrated the lady, warmly.
"You can see that we are going to be favoured with a very dark night, and Vesey is so anxious to befriend me that I am sure he will find the way, though Hawkridge and the captain are less confident." "But suppose they recognize you?" "They can't do that in the darkness, and my rustling friend will not draw me into a peril that is greater than that of staying here." "I feel as do Mr.
It recalled to my mind a phrase I had once read in the translation of an inscription found in an Egyptian sarcophagus "The peace of the morning befriend thee, and the light of the sunset and the happiness of the sky." The words rang in my ears with an odd familiarity, like the verse of some poem loved and learned by heart in childhood.
