And there was Challenger to meet us. His appearance was glorious. Not all the turkey-cocks in creation could match the slow, high-stepping dignity with which he paraded his own railway station and the benignant smile of condescending encouragement with which he regarded everybody around him. If he had changed in anything since the days of old, it was that his points had become accentuated.
My eyes were fastened on the crowd now issuing from the cottage door; the coffin, carried by men, came first, the people pressing hurriedly after among them one whom I instinctively felt to be the clergyman a thick-set man with hair turning white, and a most noble, benignant face.
Now, with the same disdain of the excesses to which love may hurry weak intellects, I recognize its benignant effects when taken, as I before said, rationally, taken rationally, my young friend.
Ferrari laughed, as he held out his glass for more wine. "Here is old Giacomo," he said, nodding to him lightly. "He remembers both the Romanis ask him HIS opinion of Fabio he worshiped his master." I turned to my servant, and with a benignant air addressed him: "Your face is not familiar to me, my friend," I said. "Perhaps you were not here when I visited the elder Count Romani?"
At first Nina demurred, with some plaintive excuse concerning her "recent terrible bereavement," but I easily persuaded her out of this. I even told some ladies I knew to visit her and add their entreaties to mine, as I said, with the benignant air of an elderly man, that it was not good for one so young to waste her time and injure her health by useless grieving.
He had pursued a long career without injuring or offending a human being; his character and conduct were alike spotless; he was void of guile; he had never told a falsehood, never been entangled in the slightest deceit; he was easy in his circumstances; he had no relations to prey upon his purse or his feelings; and, though alone in the world, was blessed with such a sweet and benignant temper, gifted with so many resources, and adorned with so many accomplishments, that he appeared to be always employed, amused, and contented.
By gosh, that's what killed our cow, I reckon! We found her lyin' by the spring, cold an' stiff, two days ago!" "Have you buried the carcass?" "Not much. Turkey-buzzards attend to our cow funerals." "Of course. You look excited, my friend." "I am. We've lost other cattle and colts in this yere pasture." "Ah!" murmured the Professor. His expression became benignant.
The fresh air of spring, the sky washed of clouds and already shedding warmth from its blue, seemed the reply vouchsafed by nature to the mood of her chosen spirits. These chosen spirits were to be found also among the deer, dumbly basking, and among the fish, set still in mid-stream, for they were mute sharers in a benignant state not needing any exposition by the tongue.
His ardour was somewhat damped, however, at receiving a message from her Majesty in reply, which was anything but benignant. His eloquence was not commended; and even his preamble, with its touching allusion to the live mothers tendering their offspring the passage: which had brought the tears into the large eyes of Alexander was coldly and cruelly censured.
The new views of truth, whose benignant dawn now broke over Europe, cast a fertilizing beam on this favored clime, and the free burgher admitted with joy the light which oppressed and miserable slaves shut out. A spirit of independence, which is the ordinary companion of prosperity and freedom, lured this people on to examine the authority of antiquated opinions and to break an ignominious chain.
