"If I had money," said the page, "I would ask senor ape what will happen me in the peregrination I am making."
"But we are taught, Annie, that the future must correct the past." "True, but the future, like the present, is a school only a school. And the Great Master is so compassionate, so ready to help, so ready to enlighten, so sure to make out of our foolishness some wise thing.

It appears Jimmy objected to a wet floor and that morning we were in a compassionate mood. We thought the boatswain a brute, and, practically, told him so.

The rain was like a curtain let down between the prying, clattering world without and the strange peace within: the old man in his perfect sleep; the young, misused wife in that passing oblivion borrowed from death and as tender and compassionate while it lasts.
My father was Maai the Compassionate, who loved his brethren better than himself. Them he helped. Rameses the Great forgot his father's promise when he found he had need of my father's treasure " she paused and continued as if the recital hurt her. "There were ten four of my mother's house, six of my father's.
My neighbor wished the pleasure of my explicit assent; my tacit assent he must have read in my smile. "Yes," I said, "and they're always so tolerant and compassionate. I don't want to say anything against the reverend clergy; they're oftener saints upon earth than we allow; but a doctor is more solid comfort; he seems to understand you exponentially." "That's it! You've hit it!
Then he said, in a shaking voice: "O woman dear and lovely and credulous and compassionate, it is you and you alone that I must be loving eternally with such tenderness as is denied to proud and lonely queens on their tall thrones!
