The mutual respect, the daily intercourse, and the common glory of our two armies fighting amid the fields and woods of France soon to welcome a third army, your own, to their great fellowship! are the foundations to-day of all the rest; and next come the efforts that have been made by British and Americans to help the French in remaking and rebuilding their desolated land, efforts that bless him that gives and him that takes, but especially him that gives; of which I shall have more to say in the course of this letter.
I pray, with heart and soul, that all may continue well at Haworth; above all in our grey half-inhabited house. God bless the walls thereof! Safety, health, happiness, and prosperity to you, papa, and Tabby. Amen.
"I do not know what foolish things I might not say, were I suffering like Mrs. Verner." "God bless you for ever, Lucy!" he murmured. "May your future life be more fortunate than mine is." Relinquishing her hands, he watched her disappear through the darkness of the room. She was dearer to him than his own life; he loved her better than all earthly things.
Although I did not see him, and barely heard his words, I was aware that he had stood up and was bending forward over the lower end of the cage. "Now, Petrie! now! God bless you... and good-by..." From somewhere somewhere remote I heard a hoarse and animal-like cry, followed by the sound of a heavy fall.
The Sub-Prior heard the sentiment, so similar to that which had occurred to himself, with the same kindly feelings with which the game-cock hears and replies to the challenge of his rival. "I bless God and Our Lady," said he, drawing himself up, "that my faith is already anchored on that Rock on which Saint Peter founded his Church."
Charlie Williams, who was at that time a member of our company, was corresponding with Brother Warner. In his letters Brother Warner would say, "God bless you, Brother Charlie!" but he would never say, "God bless you. Sister Kaser and Sister Cole!" At that time the enemy was coming against our souls with terrible accusing power, and we felt that we needed a blessing very much.
"I shall not fail to give directions to the sentries about the rockets, Alfred," said Captain Sinclair, "and so tell your mother and cousins; and mind to show them how to fire them off from out of the barrel of a musket. Good-by; God bless you, my dear fellow." "Good-by," replied Alfred, as the boats pulled from the shore.
Condiment, why bless your dear old heart, there has not been a storm these four weeks!" said Capitola, almost indignant that such an absurd objection to a long ride should be raised. "The more reason, my child, that we should have a very severe one when it does come, and I think it will be upon us before sunset; so I advise you to hurry home." "Why, Mrs. Condiment, there's not a cloud in the sky."
"A young girl!" cried several of those looking on. A mere child she seemed at that distance, her light hair blowing about in the wind. "Bless them!" said old Tarbox; "I would go to help them if there was twice the sea there is on."
Urmand and I will settle that between us, and I will go bail there shall be no unpleasant words. As I said before, my girl sha'n't leave my house empty-handed; but, Lord bless you, he would only be too happy to take you in your petticoat, just as you are. I never saw a fellow more in love with a girl.
