There is no woman of Royal birth, so it has been pointed out to me who is so suitable, from a political point of view, to be your wife as I. It is for the sake of your Throne and country that you must marry and I ask God to forgive me if I have done wrong in His sight by wedding you simply for duty's sake.
It is in this manner, undoubtedly, that we are to understand those passages of Scripture also in which we are commanded to love our neighbour, even our enemy. For love, as an affection, cannot be commanded, but beneficence for duty's sake may; even though we are not impelled to it by any inclination- nay, are even repelled by a natural and unconquerable aversion.
What can it mean when found in a girl's? Stop!" And she peered into the hand for a few moments in deep silence, and then her face lighted up, her eyes burned intensely, and once more she broke forth in improvisation: "Thou shalt be bless'd as maiden fair was never bless'd before, And the heart of thy belov'd shall be most gentle, kind and pure; But thy red hand shall be lifted at duty's stern behest, And give to fell destruction the head thou lov'st the best.
"Doin' one's duty for duty's sake is the way the good Lord intended. And if Jabez Potter is charitable without knowin' it and he is all the better. It's charged up to his credit in heaven, I have no doubt." The girls were tired after their long ride in the keen evening air and they were ready for bed at a comparatively early hour. But after Ruth had got into bed she could not sleep.
Sez I, "I will go and tear him away and bring him back to duty and his mournin' pardner." But how could I go, wuz my next thought? How dast I venter there alone? I lacked both courage and a summer suit. But when did Samantha ever fail to lay holt of Duty's apron strings when they dangled in front of her?
Tears and protestations were neither sought nor found among converts to the faith which taught all to be up and doing in Duty's name. From the records, I know that eight weeks passed after the famous Council at the War Office before England spoke.
Now, however, we have come to a period of his life when he certainly did have an aim, but necessity compelled him to renounce it as soon as it was recognised. It was not a question of ploughing or poetry. There was no alternative. However insidiously inclination might whisper of poetry, duty's voice called him to the fields, and that voice he determined to obey.
D' y' know she goes all over the Reserve day an' night an' for three hundred miles among th' settlers to attend th' sick? But duty with us is easy. We're rich. Duty brought us together! Duty's goin' t' push y' apart; an' y're not complainin'." Eleanor could not answer. What was there to say? They went on up the Ridge Trail, Matthews still talking to let her think her own thoughts.
Shells cannot terrify him, nor the fiercest stuttering of the field guns make him hesitate in advance, but in a certain stage of seasickness the ears of very heroes are deaf to duty's call. A little later I take the cigar from my mouth and crush the glowing end on the deck. I am not seasick, but there are times when tobacco loses its attractiveness. The brigadier becomes strangely silent.
"Oh health's money!" I said. "Get well, and the rest will take care of itself. I'm interested in your questionable claim it's the question that's the charm; and pretenders, to anything big enough, have always been, for me, an attractive class. Only their first duty's to be gallant." "Their first duty's to understand their own points and to know their own mind," he returned with hopeless lucidity.
