Anna, on the contrary, was frankly a derelict, frankly regretted her maiden condition and railed with bitterness against her enforced childlessness. The near approach of Christmas had for years found her morose and resentful. There are, here and there, such women, essentially mothers but not necessarily wives, their sole passion that of maternity. Anna, argumentative and reckless, talked on.
She had, after some years of childlessness, laid him under an everlasting obligation by presenting him with a daughter, an obligation deepened by the fact that the child was in every sense her father's child, not her mother's. That afternoon she brought the little girl with her, to make our acquaintance.
Even if Gwenda had been capable of sacrificing herself for Mary, which had been by no means her intention, that would have been futile too. Alice was of Rowcliffe's opinion that young Grierson would have done every bit as well for Mary. Better, for Mary had no children. "And how," said Alice, "could she expect to have them?" She saw in Mary's childlessness not only God's but Nature's justice.
From these first men came anciently your ancestors of the brazen shields, sons of the women of the stock of Iapetos and of the mighty Kronidai, Kings that dwelt in the land continually; until the Olympian Lord caught up the daughter of Opöeis from the land of the Epeians, and lay with her in a silent place among the ridges of Mainalos; and afterward brought her unto Lokros, that age might not bring him low beneath the burden of childlessness.
When Henry V. recognized the Count of Paris as his successor the only success that the fusion could at best score the house of Orleans acquired no claim that the childlessness of Henry V. had not already secured to it; but, on the other hand, it lost all the claims that it had conquered by the July revolution.
It was his child that she was having. If for the operation then he condemned them both to childlessness. And for what else had he married her but to have a lawful heir? And his father at death's door, waiting for the news! 'It's cruel! he thought; 'I ought never to have such a thing to settle! It's cruel! He turned towards the house. Some deep, simple way of deciding!
Cambyses was unwontedly silent. The suspicion had entered his mind, that Bartja loved Nitetis. Why had he, contrary to all custom, so decidedly refused to marry a noble and beautiful girl, when his brother's childlessness rendered marriage an evident and urgent duty for him?
According to K., teneant has for its subject not sororum filii, but the same subject as exigunt. Heredes properly refers to property, successores to rank, though the distinction is not always observed. Liberi includes both sons and daughters. Patrui, paternal uncles; avunculi, maternal. Propinqui, blood relations; affines, by marriage. Orbitatis pretia. Pretia==proemia. Orbitatis==childlessness.
But she was to blame for voluntarily exiling herself from Jewish society for years at a time, to live among pork-eaters, and copy the bold ways of Gentile women. And so while they pitied her childlessness, the women of Polotzk regarded her misfortune as perhaps no more than a due punishment. Hode, poor woman, felt a hungry heart beneath her satin robes.
The loss of her son, the childlessness to which she was condemned, all threw her into a state of morbid perversity, fraught with dreams of some monstrous vengeance which she dared not even confess to herself. She accused the whole world of being in league to crush her.
