But more often than not I sat and listened to the stillness, broken ever and anon by weird sounds outside. So passed our life at Damascus. Miss Stisted speaks of her as "Jane Digby, who capped her wild career by marrying a camel-driver," and animadverts on Lady Burton for befriending her.
In stentorian tones he rehearsed the judge's kindness in befriending him, he pointed out his generosity, and laid stress on Sandy's heinous ingratitude. Mr. Moseley had arrived with arguments and reasons and platitudes, all expressed in a polysyllabic monotone. Mr. Meech had come many times with prayers and petitions and gentle rebuke.
He distinguished himself in Mathematics, and soon found, by his own vaunt, the Principia of Newton prostrate at his feet: he was a favourite pupil of Leslie, who escaped the frequent penalty of befriending him, but he took no prizes: the noise in the class room hindered his answers, and he said later to Mr. Froude that thoughts only came to him properly when alone.
From these feverish and fearful scenes, the mind turns, with a feeling of grateful relief, to contemplate the happiness of one whose candid and high nature, and warm affections, Fortune, long befriending, had at length blessed. It was on an evening in the earliest flush of returning spring that Lord Ulswater, with his beautiful bride, entered his magnificent domains.
"I see you understand the meaning of it. Let that rule guide you through life, and you will gain the respect of all good men." "Father Jack told me that, when he taught me to say, 'Stand by the ship." "He was your father?" "No, sir, I never had a father, but he brought me up." "Strange," said the colonel, musing, "how much I feel like befriending this child. Tell me your story, Jack."
One could have nothing to say to a little being like that. But all the more reason for befriending the man! An hour or two later Tressady found himself strolling home along the flowery bank of the river. Now, however, he was hurrying towards the house, that there might be time for a chat with Letty before dressing. She would think he had been away too long.
For ten years buffeted and beaten, battling with adversity, sometimes losing but never lost, snatching learning here and there, hating sham, loving passionately, misunderstood, misapprehended, too stubbornly proud to ask apologies or make useless explanations, fighting poverty in the depths of privation, wrestling existence from toil he loathed, befriending many and also befriended much, but always face to face with the grim tragedy which has held part of the stage since Eden.
Here am I, the last man in the world to court success this way, and here am I more winner than if I had played with care and attention." Tom once mentioned, to another officer, Captain Falconer's luck at cards as an instance of fortune befriending one who despised her favours in that way. "Blood, sir!" exclaimed the officer.
Several men in the room called after him as he passed. "How's your dancing bear, Harkness?" "How's the ghost you're befriending?" "How's your coffin-gentleman?" There was a laugh that rang loudly in the large, half-empty room.
The race was saved through this fresh start, else it had burned out long ago. Following meant a true life lived, and faith in God expressed in wood and nails, and in good money paid out, while men met him coldly on the road, or jeered. Befriending God. Long years afterward there was another man who helped God so decidedly that he became known as "the friend of God."
