This lady took a pride and delight in teasing her friends by boasting of having a Wit for her lover. These details of Lousteau's life and fortune are indispensable, for this penury and this bohemian existence of a man to whom Parisian luxury had become a necessity, were fated to have a cruel influence on Dinah's life.
Fanny's whole nature gathered itself as though for a spring upon some prey, at once tempting and exasperating. In one short fortnight the inbred and fated antagonism between the two natures had developed itself on Fanny's side to the point of hatred. In the depths of her being she knew that Diana had yearned to love her, and had not been able. That failure was not her crime, but Diana's.
Out of all this fuel it was fated that a blaze of hatred between the two leading powers of the new era, the United Kingdom and the United Republic, should one day burst forth, which was to be fanned by passion, prejudice, and a mistaken sentiment of patriotism and self-interest on both sides, and which not all the bloodshed of more than one fierce war could quench.
It was this conviction which now returned to him as he again cast eyes upon that want and grief stricken district which seemed fated to everlasting destitution. That poor old man whom Abbe Rose had revived one night in yonder hovel, had he not since died of starvation?
Nothing can avert what is fated and fore-ordained of Allah the Most High; nor doth aught befal but by His will." Presently, a great eagle swooped down upon him from the lift and seizing him in its talons, flew away with him betwixt heaven and earth, till it came to an island in the midst of the sea, where it cast him down and flew away.
"Miss Black!" cried the horrified pastor. "There! I knew you'd just go and bite my head off the very first thing! Oh, dear, what shall I do?" sobbed Capitola. The good pastor, who had started to his feet, remained gazing upon her in a panic of consternation, murmuring to himself: "Good angel! I am fated to hear more great sins than if I were a prison chaplain!"
Williams, who in serious discourse told me he did hope well of this fight because of the equality of force or rather our having the advantage in number, and also because we did not go about it with the presumption that we did heretofore, when, he told me, he did before the last fight look upon us by our pride fated to be overcome.
Whether he were still at the aviation camp, or had finished his training and gone to the front, I didn't know: but I wafted a blessing to our benefactor. I little dreamed then of the unforgivable injury I was fated to do him! You see, Padre, I use the word "fated." That's because I've turned coward. I try to pretend that fate has been too strong for me.
The isolation of my position is too great; all my social intercourse has died away; I was fated to survive and cast from me everything. I stand in a desert, and feed on my own vitals; I must perish. Some people will be sorry for this one day, perhaps even the King of Saxony. What nonsense am I talking! Let us leave it alone; we cannot alter it; it has always been so.
Simeon the seventh shouted aloud from the deck. "We bring a missive from the korolevna Helena. Holla!" Very glad indeed was the king of the island of Buzan, and glad were all his subjects. The missive was read and the condemned were pardoned. "Evidently," the king said, "it is fated that the handsome and witty Tsar Archidei and my beautiful daughter are to become husband and wife."
