I answer, such should know, that life is one thing, and comfort is another thing; grace is one thing, and warm blinks of God's face is another. The one is necessary to the very being of a Christian, the other not, but only necessary to his comfortable being; and therefore they should be content, if God give them grace, though they miss comfort for a time.
'While waters wimple to the sea, While day blinks i' the lift sae hie, Till clay-cauld death shall blin' my e'e Ye shall be my Dearie! 'Oh, mother, mother! cried one boy after another, as they clustered round her, 'indeed we are happy now, since you are the "lady." 'We didn't rightly understand at first, continued Jasper.
Then he flies into the thickest tree he can find, generally outside the grove where the crows are looking, and sitting close up against the trunk blinks his great yellow eyes and listens to the racket that goes sweeping through the grove, peering curiously into every thick pine, searching everywhere for the lost excitement. The crows give him up reluctantly.
At all events Rob showed no signs of any fighting ancestry. He was as gentle as a calf. Even Blinks was a better watch-dog. But then, Rob was only a year old, and he might improve in time. But, in spite of his general inutility, Rob was a capital companion on a country ramble.
There were a few watery blinks of sunshine out of doors, and whenever these came through the old painted windows, some of the more vivid colors were faintly thrown upon the pavement of the cathedral, very faintly, it is true; for, in the first place, the sunshine was not brilliant; and painted glass, too, fades in the course of the ages, perhaps, like all man's other works.
It had been in progress for twelve months, and now, unless she was strangely mistaken, the denouement drew very near. For all her self-study, her unflinching recognition of physical and psychical facts which the average woman blinks over, Mary deceived herself as to the date of that final triumph which permitted her to observe Rhoda Nunn with perfect equanimity.
But nothing they had done that day was of so much importance as their meeting with Miles tuned out to be. Blinks was not the only dog on the Loudon place. There was another one, a much larger fellow, named Rob. Rob was a big puppy, in the first place, and then he grew up to be a tall, long-legged dog, who was not only very fond of Harry and Kate, but of almost everybody else.
Its touch is an electric shock to the marauder. He blinks, and rubs his arm. He has a mighty respect for her. He could take her up in his fingers and eat her like a quail the one satisfactory method of eating a quail is unfortunately practised only by ogres but he does not want to eat her. He goes on his knees, and invites her to chew any portion of him that may please her dainty taste.
Blinks looked at Jinks' diagram with a stern impassive face, modelled on the Sunday supplement photogravures of Lord Kitchener. "Your flank would be too much exposed," he said, pointing to Jinks' bread. He spoke with the hard taciturnity of a Joffre. "My reserves cover it," said Jinks, moving two pepper pots to the support of the bread.
Come on, Grizzel, leave your old chain come on, Mollie." Grizzel shook her head and set all the red curls bobbing; "I must finish my chain first. You go. I won't be long." Prudence and Mollie jumped the flower-beds again, Laddie, who had fallen comfortably asleep among the dandelions, deciding after a few lazy blinks to stay where he was. A slender boy in grey was waiting for them in the veranda.
