"I cannot look contemptuous unless I feel contempt," she said, evasively. "And all I feel is lovelessness." "I have been very bad, I know," he returned. "But unless you can really love me again, Grace, I would rather go away from you forever. I don't want you to receive me again for duty's sake, or anything of that sort.
I think, young ladies, that there is real heroism in cheerfully selling lilies and frying fish for duty's sake when one longs to be studying, and enjoying a little of the youth that comes but once," said Mr. Wallace. "Oh dear, yes, so nice of her! We might take up a contribution for her when we get home.
'I tell you to begin, said Sister Constance. 'You can always give it up if you feel that the need lies at home; but I think the few hours' change every day for duty's sake, mind will give you vigour not to be worn down by the home cares. 'But Cherry will have them always! She who cares for books and drawing so much more than I!
I've had the cruel misfortune to catch Mr. Green doing evil, and well he knowed he was; and duty's duty, so he must come along with me. And if you know me, as well as you do know me, you know there's nought else possible for me now."

My duty's done now, and I'll do my best. I advise you to take some coffee, and try to get a few hours' rest before the pinch comes. You'll not get much rest then."
In spite of bitter regrets, when she thought of the happiness it would have been to keep her little nephew, and of importunate and disappointing hopes that Mrs. Ridley would find it impossible to receive him, Lily felt that she had done right, and had made a real sacrifice for duty's sake.
