There was the faint light which preceded the rising of the sun. A great peace, a great freshness, were on the water and the land. "Oh Lord, what fools we are!" thought the old woman. "The earth makes itself anew for us with every dawn, and our own snarling, and fretting, and mourning cloud it all over for us, and we only see our own silly souls!"
Let us not be impatient, chafing at delay, fretting over failure, wearying over results, and weakening under opposition. Let us ever turn our face toward the future with confidence and trust, with the calmness of a life in harmony with itself, true to its ideals, and slowly and constantly progressing toward their realization.
Don't take the matter quite so seriously, Jack and Jill. You have spilled your happiness, you must toil up the hill again and refill the pail. Carry it more carefully next time. What were you doing?

Anthony gave a message to the royal groom, to tell Mistress Corbet that he would do as she said, and then rode off immediately to the city.

And, instead of sulking or fretting about what he could not help, he set himself to making allowances for other people. "Father says that every one has his trials," he would say to himself sagely; "and I dare say that most folks have worse trials than mine. So when Almira Jane is 'nervous, and Lucy is fretful, or mother has her bad headaches, I must just remember to be 'specially good to them.
'Oh, said I, 'Louisa; but the rattlesnakes, the dreadful rattlesnakes in the swamps; were you not afraid of those horrible creatures? 'Oh, missis, said the poor child, 'me no tink of dem, me forget all 'bout dem for de fretting. 'Why did you come home at last? 'Oh, missis, me starve with hunger, me most dead with hunger before me come back. 'And were you flogged, Louisa? said I, with a shudder at what the answer might be.
The days flowed quietly on, O'Connell apparently satisfied with his lot. But to Peg's sharp eye all was not well with him. There was a settled melancholy about him whenever she surprised him thinking alone. She thought he was fretting for Ireland and their happy days together and so said nothing. He was really worrying over Peg's future.
The fleet proceeded in a leisurely manner toward Carlscrona, Nelson chafing and fretting, none the less for his illness, under the indecision and dilatoriness that continued to characterize Parker's movements.
