Horace wrote only a line or two, informing Fanny that his father had died about eight o'clock that morning, and adding: 'Please be at home to-morrow at twelve. At twelve next day Fanny received her lover alone in the drawing-room. He entered with the exaggerated solemnity of a very young man who knows for the first time a grave bereavement, and feels the momentary importance it confers upon him.
But she was beginning to doubt the sincerity of Nola's repentance. There, under the shadow of her bereavement, she could think of nothing but the hopelessness of love. "But I didn't want you to come up just to pet me and be good to me, Frances I wanted to give you something."
The marriage is to be solemnized on the scene of my bereavement. My old wound is to be reopened on Monday next simply because my step-daughter has taken a dislike to Windygates." "This day week, then, is the day of the marriage?" "Yes. This day week. There have been reasons for hurrying it which I need not trouble you with. No words can say how I wish it was over. But, my dear Mrs.

He moved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded in an official form to the estimable partner of his life, and the children of his love, accompanied by an assurance of our deepest sympathy, in view of their great bereavement.

Darling eyed his coming with looks gloomy and furtive, but the prophet was no longer, as on the previous night, wrathful and pompous. He spoke aside to Darling. "I thought it right to tell our sister Susannah Halsey that her Gentile home had suffered bereavement. The uncle who has been as a father unto her is dead.
Then when she found the tears, she had so long kept back, gushing forth in spite of herself, she would leave the room, and having given vent to her grief, return with dry eyes and a serene countenance, as though she had dismissed every feeling of bereavement at the door of her husband's chamber.
Entering the house, empty now of all but those who were left of its usual inmates, including his sister's friend, the beautiful Helene whom he had hardly had an opportunity to more than greet on his return from England an overpowering sense of desolation fell upon him. Seating himself near his mother's favourite window, the young man's loneliness and bereavement found vent in tears.
She takes the highest moral ground, in a tone of spiteful politeness. Mr. Noel Vanstone's delicate health and recent bereavement prevent him from writing himself.
