A group of students, white with snow, passed him laughing and talking gaily; one, a tall thin fellow, stopped, glanced into Vassilyev's face, and said in a drunken voice: "One of us! A bit on, old man? Aha-ha! Never mind, have a good time! Don't be down-hearted, old chap!"
"And old Gordon's son is cleverer than my boy, than the namesake of Kenelm Digby!" and Sir Peter sighed. "I did not say that. I am cleverer than Chillingly Gordon, and the proof of it is that I am too clever to wish to be Prime Minister, very disagreeable office, hard work, irregular hours for meals, much abuse and confirmed dyspepsia." Sir Peter went away rather down-hearted.
They were all attention instantly. I wonder what would happen if the Vicar went into church next Sunday morning and asked the question, “Are we down-hearted?” I knew it would cause a sensation, but I’d rather have a sensation than a stagnation. Those boys sat up. I said, “We are going to talk about gipsy life.” I talked to them about the origin of my people.
But I am not down-hearted to-day, my dear. No, the habit of hoping has never quite deserted me; and it is only now and then that I take a dismal view of life. Come, my love, lay aside your bonnet and things. Dear me! what a handsome black silk dress, and how well you look in it!" "It is a present from Charlotte, papa. She has a very liberal allowance of pocket-money, and is generosity itself.
If that little should not be found to comprise a thorough knowledge of all the ordinary rules, together with practised and quick skill, my career in life could not be made at the Post Office. Going down the main stairs of the building, stairs which have I believe been now pulled down to make room for sorters and stampers, Clayton Freeling told me not to be too down-hearted.
Charlton went back into the other room really down-hearted, and stood watching the play of Fleda's fingers. "Is it come to this!" he said at length. "Is it possible that you are obliged to go without such a trifle as the miserable supply of food your fowls want?" "That's a small matter!" said Fleda, speaking lightly though she smothered a sigh. "We have been obliged to do without more than that."
Oh, how I remember the day, when that long-looked for vessel came back again, for I had got up more down-hearted than ever, and I thought it no use hoping and waiting, for I shall never see it again, and then the salt sea was not salter than the tears I shed, as I sat down on a rock by the shore, and thought of the stalwart form that would never meet my eye again, and of the kind voice that should never sound in my ears, and as I looked on the sea, its bright waves rippling and smiling beneath my feet, it seemed to laugh and mock me cruelly, and I almost wished myself, I know it was very wicked, Miss Agnes, far, far beneath it, where I should forget my troubles, and my heart cease its aching.
"Very particular, and he seemed kind of down-hearted when he found that Pete was out of town. Wanted to know when he might be back." "What sort of a lookin' gent was he?" asked Vic, and his voice was sharp. "Him? Oh, he looked like a tenderfoot to me. Terrible polite, though, and he had a voice that wasn't hardly rougher'n a girl's. Seemed like he was sort of embarrassed jest talkin' to me."
Drink you this, my dear, and don't be down-hearted. Mrs Jenkins turned from the tea to the gin and water with no apparent reluctance, and swallowed a portion of it. Revived by the beverage, she responded to the condolences of her friends by more rockings, sobs, and applications of the handkerchief and finally unburdened herself of her grief in the following manner.
Fairweather let off a polemic discourse against his neighbor opposite, which waked his people up a little; but it was a languid congregation, at best, very apt to stay away from meeting in the afternoon, and not at all given to extra evening services. The minister, unlike his rival of the other side of the way, was a down-hearted and timid kind of man.
