Circumstances, however, unfavourable to this idea, arose, and I turned from one conjecture to another, until I reposed, at length, in the belief that they were sinners sinners of the deepest dye such as their ill-omened looks betrayed and that they sought the kind and ever-ready minister to obtain his counsel, and to share his prayers.
"Perhaps so, but my grief at that time made me think only of myself." "And of what else dost thou think now?" "Most probably of the same person still!" said she, half smiling, "but yet believe me, I have real business to transact." "Frivolous, unmeaning, ever-ready excuses! what business is so important as the relief of a fellow-creature?"
His sister was a kind old maid, who at once conceived a sort of aunt-like affection for me, and I remember that when I left she gave me a kiss on the forehead. I was grieved to part with her, and showed some real sympathy with her sorrow about her dying brother. I felt some grief on my own account for Mr. Cape, though he had thrashed me many a time with his ever-ready cane.
But he is a very prudent man, and doesn't seem to think so at all." "Doesn't it annoy you to have her speak in that manner about him?" The ever-ready color flushed into Abbie's cheeks again, and, after a moment's hesitation, she answered gently: "I think it would, Ester, if she were not my own mother, you know." Another rebuke. Ester felt vexed anyway.
"About something?" he asked cautiously, "or for something?" Marie had seen the look and had quite an old acquaintance with it.

There was a silence. Osborn lifted his paper as if to resume reading.
He made her eyes glow with enthusiasm by telling her of his bravery, his ingenuity, his resourcefulness, when it meant snatching the lives of men, women, and even children from beneath the very edge of that murderous, ever-ready guillotine.
"Sir Philip, you ought to make her put on something warm, I find the air growing chilly." At that moment the ever-ready Sir Francis Lennox approached with a light woolen wrap he had found in the hall. "Permit me!" he said gently, at the same time adroitly throwing it over Thelma's shoulders.
There is a thick dust of sounds in the air, a rumble of shafting, sudden thuddings, clankings, and M. Citroen has to raise his voice. He points out where he has made little changes in procedures, cut out some wasteful movement.... He has an idea and makes a note in the ever-ready notebook. There is a beauty about all these women, there is extraordinary grace in their finely adjusted movements.
Smarting dullards went about for years, with an ever-ready microscope, hunting for flaws in his character that might be injuriously exposed; but to-day his defamers are in bad repute. Excellence in a fellow-mortal is to many men worse than death; and great suffering fell upon a host of mediocre writers when Pope uplifted his sceptre and sat supreme above them all.
Yet it is strange to reflect upon the leisurely manner in which great affairs were conducted in the period with which we are now occupied, as compared with the fever and whirl of our own times, in which the stupendous powers of steam and electricity are ever-ready to serve the most sublime or the most vulgar purposes of mankind.
