She was of those who get their happiness first in making others happy as she would have done with Blantyre, if she had had a chance; as even she tried to do with the man whom she had sent to his account with the firmness and fury of an ancient Greek. The maternal, the protective sense was big in her, and indirectly it had governed her life.
"What were you doing in the country?" he asked in a low voice. "There was my baby," she replied, her hands clasping and unclasping in pain. "There was my little Nydia." "A child she is living?" he asked gently. "No, she died two years ago," was the answer in a voice which tried to be firm. "Does Blantyre know?" "He knew she was born, nothing more." "We were married secretly."
Once more the petty scandals of licentious intrigue obtrude themselves at the most critical juncture of a grave historic drama. In no transaction where Charles was concerned could such sordid details be long absent. Walter Stuart, a cadet of the House of Blantyre.
Ah, weary heart! why art thou sad and lonely? Why this vain longing for an answering sigh? Thy griefs, thy longings, trials, and temptations Are known and felt by Him who reigns on high. On March 19, 1813, a hero was born in Blantyre, central Scotland.
It was clear that the roughness of the ground had very much lessened Lizzie's speed, and there seemed a chance that we might overtake her. While we were on the highroad, Blantyre had given me my head; but now, with a light hand and a practiced eye, he guided me over the ground in such a masterly manner that my pace was scarcely slackened, and we were decidedly gaining on them.
Windows when there were any were closed with dried sheepskins, through which the cats ran in and out as freely as through the curious tunnel which the kindly Master of Blantyre has constructed at Sheba's Cross for their special benefit.
It'll take much more than that, though, if it's done at all; but she certainly has sense. It's seven thousand times too much for Blantyre," he added, with an exclamation of disgust. "Blantyre that outsider!" Then he fell to thinking of all she had told him. "Poor girl poor girl!" he said aloud. "But she must not come here, just the same.
The son of a worthy weaver in Blantyre, Scotland, Livingstone's early life was that of a poor boy, working in a spinning-mill, quiet, sober, affectionate, and faithful in every relation of life.
An exception must be made, however, in the case of a single event which happened at the mission-station of Blantyre. That event was the wedding of Leonard and Juanna in conformance with the ceremonies of their own church. No word of marriage had been spoken between them for some weeks, and yet the thought of it was never out of the minds of either.
It is plain, in any case, that the religion of the Africans in the Blantyre region has an element not easily to be derived from ancestral spirit-worship, an element not observed by Mr. Spencer. Nobody who has followed the examples already adduced will be amazed by what Waitz calls the 'surprising result' of recent inquiries among the great negro race.
