As for me myself, it will be very happy, and I am delighted with the thinking of it, to have, after a pleasant ride, or so, a lady of like experience with myself to come home to, and but one interest betwixt us: to reckon up our comings-in together; and what this day and this week has produced O how this will increase love! most mightily will it increase it! and I believe I shall never love you enough, or be able to show you all my love.
If such is your pleasure, Jeanne, you shall direct the household of your own sweet will I should say, of your sweet wisdom; you shall be queen in all matters of domestic economy, you shall rule our goings-out and our comings-in, our visits, our travels. I shall leave you to guide me, as a child, along the joyous path in which I follow your footsteps. I am looking up at Jeanne.
We are aware that they seldom contain anything from the hand of the master himself, being made up, of course, of what people had to say to him; but one hundred and thirty-eight such books though in many cases but a sheet or two of foolscap doubled together, generally filled with mere lead-pencil scribbling, now by his brother, now by the nephew, then by Schindler or the old housekeeper, upon money matters and domestic arrangements, but often by artists, poets, and literary men, not only of Vienna, but in some cases even from England, and in one from America must contain a great mass of matter, which places one amidst those by whom the master was surrounded, makes one to "know his goings-out and his comings-in," and occasionally facts of high importance in the study of his character, and the circumstances in which he spent his last years.
Poverty is a comparative thing, and each degree of it is mocked by its "neighbour grice." Its poor rents and comings-in are soon summed up and told. Its pretences to property are almost ludicrous. Its pitiful attempts to save excite a smile. Every scornful companion can weigh his trifle-bigger purse against it.
Would it not be well, therefore, for him to marry? His father seemed to think this idea not unreasonable; and then Angel put the question "What kind of wife do you think would be best for me as a thrifty hard-working farmer?" "A truly Christian woman, who will be a help and a comfort to you in your goings-out and your comings-in. Beyond that, it really matters little.
The parson was a slender, wiry man, with keen blue eyes, a serious mouth, and an overtopping forehead, from which the hair was always brushed straight back. He called upon the Lord, with passionate fervor, to "bless this people in all their outgoings and comings-in, and to keep their feet from paths where His blessing could not attend them."
Peter the groom never noticed his goings-out and comings-in, and there was no one to find fault with him for being untidy. Here then he had quite a little menagerie of his own.
He reserves, he says, all his little comings-in, "vindemiolas" what he might make by selling his grapes as a lady in the country might get a little income from her spare butter in order that he may have books as a resource for his old age.
It was like crying into the' awful stillness of night. One day, Bridget was missed by those neighbours who had been accustomed to mark her goings-out and comings-in.
And now they contented themselves with a kind inquiry when they saw Mary in her goings-out or in her comings-in. With her oppressing knowledge, she imagined their reserved conduct stranger than it was in reality. She missed Job and Margaret too; who, in all former times of sorrow or anxiety since their acquaintance first began, had been ready with their sympathy.
