She clung to her husband with an almost timid eagerness as though she dreaded losing him and when he was not with her, she seemed to rely entirely on her son, whom she watched with a fond, almost melancholy pride, and who responded to her tenderness though proffered so late, with the full-hearted frankness of his impulsive, ardent nature.
We often dwell upon that moment where the soul, by an act of submission and trust, enters upon the highway, or 'gets the blessing', as we say; but Holiness is, after all, a state, a continuous experience, a set course or way in life where the will of the Lord is supreme, and the full-hearted love of God is the great moving force.
Doc Martingale's feelings was running high, too, account, I suppose, of certain full-hearted things his wife had blurted out to him about the hypnotic eyes of this here Nature lover. He was quiet enough, but vicious, acting like he'd love to do some dental work on the poet that might or might not be painless for all he cared a hoot.
Ah, he would win his bride before the setting of the sun. He knew not by what means he would win her. Enough that even now, full-hearted, fleet-footed, he was on his way to her, and that she heard him coming. When Zuleika, a vision in vaporous white, came out through the postern, she wondered why he was walking at so remarkable a pace.
They're out in the kitchen putting the dishes away. Many hands make light labor." They came quickly and gathered about me a noisy, happy group. The younger children kissed me and sat on my knees and gave me the small news of the neighborhood. How good were the look of those friendly faces and the full-hearted pleasure of the whole family at my coming!
The children were full of spirits, and, in their thoughtless glee, called out gayly, but with words of ridicule, to the poor, meanly-clan child, who was hurrying on at almost a run beside the man who had become his master. Their words, however, were heeded not by the full-hearted boy. His thoughts were going back to his home, and to his much-loved mother.
With his usual simple earnestness, and his great, rolling voice, he told about "the Great God the Great Jehovah and how the people in this world were flustering and worrying, and afraid they should not get time to do this, and that, and t'other. But," he added, with full-hearted satisfaction, "the Lord is never in a hurry; he has it all to do, but he has time enough, for he inhabiteth eternity."
Rousseau's interest in children, though perfectly sincere, was still æsthetic, moral, reasonable, rather than that pure flood of full-hearted feeling for them, which is perhaps seldom stirred except in those who have actually brought up children of their own. He composed a vindication of his love for the young in an exquisite piece; but it has none of the yearnings of the bowels of tenderness.
Yet she could hear them now, and the tears that rushed to her eyes as she blessed him for his manly goodness were as much those of the desolate child as of the full-hearted woman. And the change that she had observed in him since that evening at Danbury? A real change, but only of manner. He would not say to her what he had meant to say until she knew the truth about her own circumstances.
"Peachey," he whispered tenderly, "you hate me but could you kill me; Little Peachey?" And he smiled his great, full-hearted smile. Then her hand fell, her head sunk upon his breast, and a strong shuddering filled all her young body. "Oh, Man, Man!" she breathed, as his arms closed about her. * Vol. By Alice MacGowan and Grace MacGowan Cooke Authors of "Return, A Story of the Sea Islands," etc.
