In the autumn a strange thing happened. When we had taken my grandfather to the Hall in June, his dotage seemed to settle upon him. He became a trembling old man, at times so peevish that we were obliged to summon with an effort what he had been. He was suspicious and fault-finding with Scipio and the other servants, though they were never so busy for his wants. Mrs.
Also, she helped him out of any difficulty which now and then occurred for there never was such a wise old woman. When the people of Nomansland raised the alarm as sometimes they did for what people can exist without a little fault-finding? and began to cry out, "Un-happy is the nation whose king is a child," she would say to him gently, "You are a child. Accept the fact. Be humble be teachable.
Burns was a man of sturdy independence; too often this independence became aggressive. He was a man of marvellous keenness of perception; too frequently did this manifest itself in a sulky suspicion, a harshness of judgment, and a bitterness of speech. We say this in no spirit of fault-finding, but merely point it out as a natural consequence of a wretched and leisureless existence.
Lacking the accent of pity, the accusations of the preacher will degenerate into scolding, and of all scolds the pulpit scold is the most objectionable. Without a pitiful heart his exposure of human nature will become mere fault-finding, and a fault-finding ministry is a ministry of desolation.
During the day I received a severe box on the ear from Aunt Patience, for saying to her in an outburst of childish anger, when provoked by her continued fault-finding, "I don't know what makes them call you Aunt Patience, for you scold all the time."
We all have our troubles," and Frank told something of his own irksome, unpleasant life with his fault-finding aunt. It was by slow degrees that Bob Upton livened up and then braced up. No one could help liking Frank Jordan. "You're a cracking good fellow," said the farmer boy at last. "I hope it isn't like the spurts Jeff Upton used to have one day, and wallop me like thunder the next."
"I've just heard him tell Sue Clayton so. All he wants now is my consent he says he has yours." The inventor paused, and gently smoothed his wife's fingers with his own. "And you would not give it?" he inquired. "How could I? It would ruin him don't you know it?" There was a slight tinge of annoyance in her voice not one of fault-finding, but rather of anxiety.
In due time, by this kind of management, and by other modes conceived and executed in the same spirit, Bella gained so great an ascendency over the children that they were far more ready to conform to her will, and to obey all her directions, than they would have been to submit to the most legitimate authority that was maintained, as such authority too often is, by fault-finding and threats, and without any sympathy with the fancies and feelings which reign over the hearts of the children in the little world in which they live.
And even for this Lord I am still a critical and fault-finding subject, but I think these are the ones he prefers. In these first days of profound sorrow I strove with even greater effort to know who this Christ was who had redeemed us or could redeem us, and I wrote to my mother about it and read diligently in Emmy's precious gift.
Wait, only wait! In Italy I shall learn to fly, and when I have finished my Holy Family and my Temple of Art, with all the skill I intend to attain...." "Then, then, what will happen then?" "Then you will perhaps change your opinion and cease your tutoring, once for all. This fault-finding, this warning vexes me. It spoils my pleasure, it clouds my fancy.
