Frances Freeland rose, pulled something hard, and a cupboard appeared. She opened it, and took out a travelling-bag. "I must go back with you at once," she said. "I don't think it's in the least necessary, and you'll only knock yourself up." "Oh, nonsense, darling! I must." Knowing that further dissuasion would harden her determination, Felix said: "I'm going in the car." "That doesn't matter.
'Aubrey, said Ethel, in their first private moment, 'was this a fight in a good cause? for if so, I will come down with you and see him. Aubrey made a face of dissuasion, ending in a whistle. 'Do at least tell me it is nothing I should be sorry for, she said anxiously. He screwed his face into an intended likeness of Ethel's imitation of an orchis, winked one eye, and looked comical.
A simple manly character need never make an apology, but should regard its past action with the calmness of Phocion, when he admitted that the event of the battle was happy, yet did not regret his dissuasion from the battle. There is no weakness or exposure for which we cannot find consolation in the thought this is a part of my constitution, part of my relation and office to my fellow-creature.
The same hospitable reception, the same dissuasion, and, that failing, the same kind exertions on his behalf, he met with at Manchester, Derby, Nottingham, and every other place he visited; and the result of his tour was that he returned with nearly a thousand names on the subscription list of the Watchman, together with "something more than a half conviction that prudence dictated the abandonment of the scheme."
Dissuasion availed nothing. "What," he demanded, "are privations to him whose life is devoted to perpetual poverty, and who has no ambition but to serve God?" The assembled Indians were more eager for temporal than for spiritual succor, and beset Champlain with clamors for aid against the Iroquois. He and Pontgrave were of one mind.
They knew that a strong expression of dissuasion on their part would have led him to abandon the scheme at once; but they would not let any such expression escape them, because they felt that they were bound to consult his tastes and wishes, and not merely their own. They knew that his faith was on the Rock of Ages; they could trust his life and fortunes to their God.
Suddenly I heard the voice of my poor husband in exclamations of astonishment, with that of my son in reassurance and dissuasion; and there by the shadow of a group of trees they stood near, so near! Their faces were toward me, the eyes of the elder man fixed upon mine. He saw me at last, at last, he saw me! In the consciousness of that, my terror fled as a cruel dream.
Paul says in the text, that we ought to be content with food and raiment; and the wise man says, "Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me ." And our Lord would have us "take no thought for the morrow," which surely is a dissuasion from aggrandizing ourselves, accumulating wealth, or aiming at distinction.
As she still clung to him, he tried to whisper some last words of a consoling or reassuring nature, and she suddenly relaxed her grasp, and allowed him to make his escape without further dissuasion not that his arguments had reconciled her to his departure, but because she was mercifully unaware of it. "O heart of stone, are you flesh, and caught By that you swore to withstand?" Maud.
Her breath escaped between her teeth. "You are utterly resolved?" she asked. "Are you?" "Utterly." "Nothing I might say could change your purpose?" "Nothing." "No entreaty, howsoever piteous, could move you?" "None." Forthwith she urged, entreated, cajoled, commanded, with infinite prettiness of ingenuity and of eloquence. Never was such a cascade of dissuasion as hers.
