Deprived of her darlings, the loneliness of her days made her look to Wilfrid for commiseration. Father Bernardus was too continually exhortative, and fenced too much to "hit the eyeball of her conscience," as he phrased it, to afford her repose. Wilfrid could tell himself that he had already done much for her; for if what he had done were known, his career, social and military, was ended.
Unless all language is a deception; unless the promises of God are a baited lie; unless the apostles of Christ are the most shameless of all wanton tricksters; unless the Son of God Himself is the coolest traitor to truth who ever fooled the trusting hearts of needy men; unless He is the one being of all others who had the subtle and effective genius of making promises that fill the ear and are broken to the heart; unless He was the most skillful of all deceivers and rejoiced with malignant delight in deceiving the souls of men and thus proved Himself to be not the Son of God at all but the very son of falsehood, then seeing He is the reverse of all that, is in truth the very Son of God and truth itself, by His own unqualified statement, by its very character as exhortative warning His Coming must be and is imminent.
The painful image of poor Rabbi M athia gouging out his eyes supplanted the nude figure of the previous quotation in my mind Reb Sender pursued his "exhortative talk." He dwelt on the duties of man to man. "If a man is tongue-tied, don't laugh at him, but, rather, feel pity for him, as you would for a man with broken legs. Nor should you hate a man who has a weakness for telling falsehoods.
From the velvet-jacketed figures lounging motionless in the shadows of the open doorways so motionless that only the lazy drift of cigarette smoke betokened their breathing to the reclining peons in the shade of a catalpa, or the squatting Indians in the arroyo all was sloth and dirt. The Rev. Stephen Masterton felt his throat swell with his old exhortative indignation.
The billiard-room, that darksome cavern, on a heaven-sent day like this? Shucks, says I. Yet" his attitude became exhortative "see how mighty is truth, see how she prevails, see how the scoffer is confounded. To the billiard-room I transport myself, sceptically, on the off-chance, and here, good-lack, you are."
Dacier had admitted to Diana that Tonans merited the thanks of the country during 'the discreditable Railway mania, when his articles had a fine exhortative and prophetic twang, and had done marked good. Otherwise, as regarded the Ministry, the veering gusts of Tonans were objectionable: he 'raised the breeze' wantonly as well as disagreeably.
The plenipotentiaries bore this gibe with dignity, and decided to have recourse once more to their favorite, and, indeed, only method the despatch of exhortative telegrams. Of more efficacious means they were destitute.
