"For no cause that I know of," and he heaved a sudden sigh. "It is the dark spirit the warning of an evil hour!" "Stuff and nonsense!" said Miss Tranter. He was silent. His mouth compressed itself into a petulant line, like that of a chidden child ready to cry. "I shall be all right when I have kissed the kiddie," he said. Miss Tranter sniffed and tossed her head.
There was likewise a certain drawing of herself away from me, which checked the smallest advance on my part; so that I wonder at it now, but so it was after a few words of very ordinary conversation, I bade her good morning and went away, feeling like "a man forbid" as if I had done her some wrong, and she had chidden me for it. What a stone lay in my breast! I could hardly breathe for it.
Neighbours were afraid to pause to exchange greetings, and hurried away from all contact with one another; and children breaking away from their mothers' sides were speedily called back, and chidden for their temerity. Some of the churches stood wide open, and persons were seen to hurry in, lock themselves for a few minutes into separate pews, and pour out their souls in supplication.
But Romeo replying, that he himself had often chidden him for doting on Rosaline, who could not love him again, whereas Juliet both loved and was beloved by him, the friar assented in some measure to his reasons; and thinking that a matrimonial alliance between young Juliet and Romeo might happily be the means of making up the long breach between the Capulets and the Montagues; which no one more lamented than this good friar, who was a friend to both the families and had often interposed his mediation to make up the quarrel without effect; partly moved by policy, and partly by his fondness for young Romeo, to whom he could deny nothing, the old man consented to join their hands in marriage.
Her father, after having chidden her for undutifulness, consented to the match, not much to the satisfaction of Leviculus, who was sufficiently elated with his conquest to think himself entitled to a larger fortune. He was, however, soon rid of his perplexity, for his mistress died before their marriage.
He broke in with a muffled exclamation and shifted from one foot to the other like a chidden child. "I'm sorry," he said again, and muttered, "Fool!" as he bent towards her. "Did you hurt yourself against that stone? Are you all right? You've only slippers on." "I've nearly stopped shaking," she said practically. "And it doesn't matter. You didn't mean to do it. I must go home.
"Mesnil," said the king, "I should feel myself far too ungrateful, and expect to be chidden for presumption, if, in this little treatise that I am minded to make upon stag hunting, I did not, before any one begins to read it, avow and confess that I learnt from you what little I know. . . . I beg you, also, Mesnil, to be pleased to correct and erase what there is wrong in the said treatise, the which, if peradventure it is so done that there is nothing more required than to re-word and alter, the credit will be firstly yours for having so well taught me, and then mine for having so well remembered.
How she pored over that letter, and folded it so that even the candle-droppings would not be creased and fall away! He was happy, though wretched because he could not see her. It was the life he had longed for. He was no longer the mere idler whom she had chidden. "Jinny, do you remember saying so many years ago that our ruin would come of our not being able to work?
The temperament which is sanguine, and which, in a lively mood, inspires hope, is, at the same time, the source of those dark images of thought and feeling, which appal it with the most terrifying forms of fear; and when Saturday and Saturday night came and passed, and Alfred Stevens did not appear, a lurking dread that would not be chidden or kept down, continued to rise within her soul, which, without assuming any real form or decisive speech, was yet suggestive of complete overthrow and ruin.
He bore it in stoical silence, until he reached his own rooms; and then, do not blame him my poor Kennedy if he bowed his head upon his hands, and cried like a little child. There are times when the bravest man feels quite like a boy feels as if he were unchanged since the day when he sorrowed for boyish trespasses, and was chidden for boyish faults.
