But now it was settled; and if this foolish plan of Violet's going to Italy had brought it about, the plan itself wore a different color. Aunt Martha said no more of the impropriety. She reserved her complainings for the subject of the trouble of getting Violet ready, all of a sudden, for such a voyage. Little trouble fell to Aunt Martha's share. Violet went about it gladly.
The old man's eyes flamed wildly, and crying, "J'ne veux pas! j'ne veux pas!" he broke from them and struggled back toward the dike. Instantly his son overtook him, picked him up in his arms, and carried him, now sobbing feebly, down to the boat, where he laid him on a pile of blankets. As the laden craft moved slowly toward the ship the old man's complainings ceased.
During this last period, when all other activities were practically impossible to him, he fell into a state of letter-writing for the most part long, wearisome complainings and explainings in which he poured out a copious flood of tears and self-pity for the loss of his gold.
To this amiable gentleman and learned writer on pianos, Franz Hueffer, Joseph Bennett and Niecks are indebted for the most of their facts. From them the curious may learn all there is to learn. The story is not especially noteworthy, being in the main a record of ill-health, complainings, lamentations and not one signal artistic success.
England was Old England when I was young. I little thought it would ever come to be Young England when I was old. But everything is going backward. Ah! governments were governments, and judges were judges, in my day, Mr. Hood. There was no nonsense then.

I am cruel, obdurate, and unrelenting. Yes, most amiable of men, you might as well address your cries to the senseless rocks. You might as well hope with your eloquent and soft complainings to persuade the crocodile that was ready to devour you. I have passed the Rubicon. I have taken the irrevocable step. It is too late, ah, much too late to retreat! Letter XIV
He had learned from David's delirious complainings the intense piety of the youth, and the spiritual despair which had intensified his sufferings. And he hoped God, through him, would say a word of comfort to the sorrowful heart. So he chose, with the sweet determination of love, the most glorious and the most abounding words of the divine Father. David listened with a reserved acceptance.
But the public was no more inclined to heed these complainings than it was to fritter away its time and substance in drinking-bars or in places of amusement.
"Law, child, why he played the nicest glee and then he made such a speech, for all the world like Mr. Button, that I like so to see in Hamlet." "True," said Delia, "but what he said was more like the soft complainings of my dear Castalio. Did not he complain of a false mistress?" "Why he did say something of that kind. If it be neither a ghost nor Mr. Prattle.
Besides, why should I be juster than the law? This property has been in the family for a long time, and ought to remain there." Her anger at Hesden burned very fiercely, and she even talked of refusing to see him, should he return, as she had no real doubt he would. The excitement, however, prostrated her as usual, and her anger turned into querulous complainings as she grew weaker.
