She told herself that it was better that Wolf should know, and only the part of true kindness not to deny what, for good or ill, was true. The memory of his grave and troubled face distressed her, but she reminded herself that he would be back on Saturday, and then he would have forgiven her.
At the same time, she was eminent for piety and purity of soul, and for her compassionate gentleness to the sick and the distressed. The district where she dwelt had escaped comparatively free from the ravages of war, but the approach of roving bands of Burgundian or English troops frequently spread terror through Domremy.
I exclaimed in a distressed voice. "Is there to be no end to this?" "Not before frost, I presume," returned Mr. Smith, meaningly. "I wish frost would come along quickly, then," was my response. "But how long is Mr. Gray going to be absent from home?" "He didn't say." "And we're to have his whole family, I suppose, during his absence." "Doubtless."
O All-powerful Being, the least motion of whose will can create or destroy a world, pity us, the mournful friends of Thy distressed servant, who sink under the weight of her present condition, and the fear of losing the most valuable of our friends.

The king was still in perfect health, and his gratitude to her who had been the means of his recovery was so lively in his mind, that the moment he saw the Countess of Rousillon, he began to talk of Helena, calling her a precious jewel that was lost by the folly of her son; but seeing the subject distressed the countess, who sincerely lamented the death of Helena, he said, "My good lady, I have forgiven and forgotten all."
I did at last, what I ought to have done at first I spoke out plainly. "The fact is, aunt," I said, "poor Mr. Engelman has left us for awhile, sadly mortified and distressed. He began by admiring Madame Fontaine; and he ended in making her an offer of marriage." "Mamma was indeed truly sorry for him," Minna added; "but she had no other alternative than to refuse him, of course."
