For a little while she sat, her eyes cast down, wondering what he would say or do, whether he would take her hand, or draw her softly to his breast and let her cry her heart out there, as she almost longed to do poor fatherless, motherless, brotherless, sisterless girl, who in her husband alone must concentrate every earthly tie. But he never spoke never moved.
Was there no other neck to clasp; no other face to turn to? no one else to say a soothing word to such deep sorrow? Was Florence so alone in the bleak world that nothing else remained to her? Nothing. Stricken motherless and brotherless at once for in the loss of little Paul, that first and greatest loss fell heavily upon her this was the only help she had.
As we shall have much to do with her in the telling of our story, it may be well to make her stand plainly before the reader's eyes. In the first place, it must be understood that she was motherless, brotherless and sisterless. She had been Mr. Grey's only child, and her mother had been dead for fifteen or sixteen years.
But even had these invariable marks of her trade been lacking, you could not have failed to recognise her type by the large and glittering mock-diamond comb which failed to catch up her dank and stringy hair in the back. One kindly hand on the woman's arm, Martha Foote performed the introduction. "This is Mrs. Anna Czarnik, late of Poland. Widowed. Likewise childless. Also brotherless.
He was preparing for the final and most ambitious undertaking of his life, which precipitated the longest and bloodiest war of all his warlike reign. The king of Spain, Charles II, was childless and brotherless, and Europe had long been discussing what would become of his vast realms when his sickly existence should come to an end.
For the first time in his life, the fatherless, motherless, brotherless, sisterless stray of the streets felt himself alone. The sensation was an awful one. He had lost so many, and had not one left! That gash in Sambo's black throat had slain "a whole cityful."
Fatherless, motherless, brotherless, sisterless a lone man, he passed forth into the great and terrible wilderness of Judaea, which is so desolate that the Jews called it the abomination of desolation. Travellers who have passed over and through it say that it is destitute of all animal life, save a chance vulture or fox. For the most part, it is a waste of sand, swept by wild winds.
Then cried Grettir, "<i>Bare is the back of the brotherless</i>." And Illugi threw his shield over Grettir, and warded him in so stout a wise that all men praised his defence. Then said Grettir to Angle, "Who then showed thee the way here to the island?" Said Angle, "The Lord Christ showed it us."
He had lost his brother; but was not this man as good as a brother to him? Would life be quite brotherless as long as he remained at his side? The tutor, for his part, experienced a strange emotion too. The opening day had brought a crisis in his life as well as in that of his ward.
I immediately settled to start an agency for this object somewhat on the principle of 'Lady Guides' the full title being 'The agency for supplying Brothers to brotherless girls, or those with unobliging brothers. I resolved to call it shortly 'The Brothers' Agency. It is a good name, and gives to the undertaking a kind of monastic flavour that I find is very taking.
