Can't I teach you forebearance, mercy? Bern, it's divine to forgive your enemies. 'Let not the sun go down upon thy wrath." "Hush! Talk to me no more of mercy or religion after to-day. To-day this strange coming of Lassiter left me still a man, and now I'll die a man!... Give me my guns."
"When I consider the loyalty, the love, the forebearance, and Christian charity that have been necessary to restrain me from tearing asunder that which God, in a careless moment, joined together, Mary, I'm inclined to regard myself as four-fifths superman and the other fifth pure angel," he declared coldly.
Did his eyes truly fix her between lids partly open, and was she to take this his forebearance from any question only as a sign again that everything was left to her? She at all events, for a minute, watched his immobility then, as if once more renewing her total submission, returned, without a sound, to her own quarters.
This evidently is a law of policy and necessity, for if the emus were allowed to be indiscriminately slaughtered, they would soon become extinct. Civilised nations may learn a wholesome lesson even from savages, as in this instance of their forebearance.

In the end, with the undaunted heroism of unselfish maternity, she resigned herself wholly and entirely to the exclusive care of her beloved offspring, ministering to its ever increasing and multiplying wants, with an admirable forebearance and kindness. Poor woman! she found more than ample field for her patience and perseverance.
The painter, however, did not communicate to his niece the important step which he had taken in her behalf, a forebearance caused not by any anticipated opposition on her part, but solely by a ludicrous consciousness that if she were to ask him for a description of her destined bridegroom, he would be forced to confess that he had not once seen his face, and if called upon, would find it absolutely impossible to identify him.
But ungovernable as I knew his temper to be, he had passed the limits of my forebearance. "I will answer that speech in 10 minutes," I said and walked into my room again. For I had come to a decision as startling as it was sudden. I hastily threw some most necessary things into a bag.
But the emigrants went farther than mere forebearance; they decreed that since Tom couldn't stand guard without falling asleep, he shouldn't stand guard at all, and henceforward his slumbers were unbroken.
"Is it not absurd of Jasper to snatch at such an excuse for breaking off the match?" "I can sympathize with Jasper's feeling, I trust. It is natural for a candid nature to recoil from duplicity. But all our actions need charitable construction; and, remembering that, we should take heed to prevent our forebearance toward others from wavering.
