Conscious ignorance by even the best informed delegates from one section as to affairs in another was a dissuasion from the centralizing of doubtful issues; and the secrecy of the convention's proceedings exempted it from any pressure of anti-slavery sentiment from outside. On the whole the permanence of any critical problem in the premises was discredited.
I thought of going over to see her now." "Go by all means, my boy," said the Squire heartily. "You'll find her about somewhere, only don't make her late for lunch. You'll stay, of course. You haven't seen Hayles about anywhere, have you? He's not in the office." Jim had not, and the Squire trotted off to find his agent, with a last word of dissuasion on letting Mountfield.
"No," I muttered in quick dissuasion, to myself. "He must see that I can do two things at once and do both well." And so I went on with the letter. "When," I asked, "did you first see the change in Mrs. Packard?" "On Tuesday afternoon at about this time." "What had happened on that day? Had she been out?" "Yes, I think she told me later that she had been out." "Do you know where?"
He was very busy for some days arranging his affairs; he meant to be away some time. Mr. Mortimer knew it perhaps he knew more, for he said not a word by way of dissuasion, but only seemed rather depressed. The evening, however, before Brandon was to start, as, at about eight o'clock, he sat talking with his step-father, the old man lifted up his head and said to him
"I fell in with good company on the way, officers of my acquaintance, belonging to the general staff and the regiment, greatly surprised to find me here. They wanted to take me back again with them; but I spoke to them of particular objects I had in view, and they left me without further dissuasion, to my well- known singular caprice.
Next day she died, and at once he anathematized all who should assist in her burial. A pious carpenter, however, forced his way through the mob, and made her coffin. He remained steadfast throughout the storm, replying to every dissuasion of his friends, "I must go forward, even to the shedding of my blood."
"And another ten." Not a word of encouragement or dissuasion was uttered by any one of the onlookers; they sat silent and amused, wondering which of the two was about to be smitten under the fifth rib. And at last it was Lionel's opponent who gave in. "On this occasion," said he, depositing his half-sovereign, "I will simply gaze; what have you got?"
The story was as follows: Once on a time a rich landed proprietor had a son, who was a thoroughly spoilt child; and one day the boy said to his father that he wished all the young serfs to come and sing before the door of the house. After some attempts at dissuasion the request was granted, and the young people assembled; but as soon as they began to sing, the boy rushed out and drove them away.
He seemed to want to dissuade me, as though dissuasion had anything to do with it now. "Not you, you fool!" I said hoarsely. "Not you!" But he hid Nettie nevertheless. By an enormous effort I resisted a mechanical impulse to shoot through his fat body. Anyhow, I knew I mustn't shoot him.
One thing you must believe Miss Ruthyn: in framing the provisions of the will I was never consulted although I expostulated against the only very unusual one it contains when I heard it. I did so strenuously, but in vain. There was one other against which I protested having a right to do so with better effect. In no other way does the will in any respect owe anything to my advice or dissuasion.
