"You have lost a good friend, Captain Trejago," said the lady. "He was that, ma'am. My lord was one of the finest, noblest men that ever trod in shoe-leather. And you, ma'am it must be very terrible for you." "Losing him in such a way, it is that which embitters my grief. But this gentleman" she turned to Mr. Loftus "comes from the Embassy to seal up his lordship's papers." "Quite right, ma'am.

He must inhibit them if he proposes to be chaste, and his continent road is beset with never-resting temptations. He calls himself a fool at times for resisting, and his mind pictures the delights he misses if not from direct experience, from information he gathers in books and from those who know and if he yields, then self-reproach embitters him.

"Too true it is, I am afraid, my dearest creature, that the highest human happiness is imperfect. How rich would be my cup, was it not for one poisonous drop which embitters the whole! O, Amelia! what must be the consequence of my ever having the honour to call you mine!

His conduct in this present crisis will be a slap in the face to those who insist that religion makes men timorous. Speaking for myself, I never entertained a moment's doubt of his acting in precisely the manner in which he has done; his worst time, however, is, alas! to come; he may have to wait till eternity for his recompense.

Oh, for deceitful clouds which might veil the horizon, concealing the reality which embitters our bread, which casts its shadows over our souls and makes us curse the futility of our birth! Oh, for lying, pleasant illusions to make a paradise rise from the desert shadows of the last journey! Oh, for dreams!

Disputing is a shock to confidence, and without confidence friendship cannot continue. A state of feud, even though a temporary one, often embitters the life, and leaves its mark on the heart. Desolated homes and lonely lives are witnesses of the folly of any such policy. From the root of bitterness there cannot possibly blossom any of the fair flowers of love.

Come, you must indeed have done something, you must have loved something, you must have friends."

Then about one in the morning, I return to my couch, because the place closes up. And it is this latter that embitters me more than anything.

In a private letter written from Paris, he said, "American ideals were the intellectual food of my youth, and to see America converted into a senseless, Old-World conqueror, embitters my age." To another he wrote that his former "high and fond ideals about America were now all shattered."
