What say'st thou, Wise One? that all powerful Love Can fortune's strong impediments remove, Nor is it strange that worth should wed to worth, The pride of genius with the pride of birth. V. Brown I will not give at full length his thrice unhappy name had been from infancy a ball for fortune to spurn at; but nature had given him that elasticity of mind which rises higher from the rebound.
As with others in a like plight, she dared not look into the immediate future, this holding only terrifying probabilities of disaster; the present moment was all sufficient; little else mattered, and, although to-morrow promised actual want, there was yet hope that a sudden turn of fortune's wheel would remove the dread menace of impending ruin.
"And you?" he lets his keen eyes seek hers "of what can you complain? You seem one of fortune's favorites. Have you not got as your most devoted slave the man of your heart?" "I suppose so." There is a thorough lack of enthusiasm in her tone, that irritates him. He puts the end of his mustache into his mouth and chews it slowly, a certain sign that he is both grieved and annoyed.
It was an attic room, of course, for she could only afford the cheapest apartment. She had exactly twenty pounds wherewith to support herself until fortune's ball rolled her way. She felt confident enough.
When the performance came to an end Fortune suggested to Uncle William that he should go to the best hotel in the place, and give Iris and Apollo some tea. Iris was loath to leave Fortune's side, but Fortune bent down and whispered to her to obey. "I am on the trail," she said, "and I don't want to be interrupted. I don't mind telling you, Iris, that the tea is all an excuse.
He's in the hospital right now with a busted arm, and I won't hear a word against him. No, my troubles have been with women." A swifter spasm, almost ugly in its rage, came over Mary Fortune's lips; and then she shut them down again. "Yes," she said with a sarcastic smile, "I've heard women say the same about men."
Fortune's first impulse what was it? She hardly knew. But her second was that safest, easiest thing now grown into the habit and refuge of her whole life silence. "No, it certainly does not matter now." A deadly sickness came over her. What if this letter were Robert Roy's, asking her that question which he said no man ought ever to ask a woman twice? And she had never seen it never answered it.
We have greater aims than many others, but the others drove along the beaten highway right through the gates of Fortune's house. We stray away from the highway and into the wood. See! am I not there myself now? Away from the highway and into the wood, as though I were led by an inward law. Into the wood."
Though our bold tars are fortune's sport, may they ever be fortune's care. The flag of England: may it ever brave the battle and the breeze. The sea, the rough sea, the open sea: may our lives be spent upon it. The sea, the sleepless guardian of the world. The memory of Lord Howe and the glorious 1st of June. Safe arrivals to our homeward and outward-bound fleets.
I learned the details from Madame Plumet in person, who could not contain herself for joy as she described the success of her conspiracy, and how her little hand had guided old Dame Fortune's.
