Arthur writes, though, that his letters are very reserved and not frequent. What can be the meaning of it?" "There was always a want of candor and generosity in Walter's disposition," remarked Alice's mother. "You never liked him, Anna," said Mr. Weston; "why was it?" "Arthur and Walter contrast so strongly," answered Mrs. Weston.
But there was something deeper than generosity. Her banked love for Flatray flooded her in a great cry of protest against his death. She loved him. She loved him. Much as she detested this man, revolting as she found the thought of being linked to him, the impulse to sacrifice herself was the stronger feeling of the two.
There were the dregs of manhood in him, for all his narrowness and feebleness, and the prospect offended him like an indecency. "No, there's only one job I know of in Nikolaieff that you could take," he said abruptly. "And that's right here in this office." He had said it upon a rare impulse of generosity; all men are subject to such impulses; and he halted upon the word for his reward.
It is not a word that I much understand, or that means much to men of my type and generation. I see what has happened in this way. Kitty's conduct last year hit me desperately hard. It destroyed my private happiness, and but for the generosity of the best friends ever man had it would have driven me out of public life.
One young French lieutenant distinguished himself by carrying a wounded Uhlan to a place of safety under a heavy German fire, English soldiers have shown equal generosity and kindness to injured captives, and the tributes to heroic and patient nurses shine forth in letters of gold upon the dark pages of this tragic history. Here is a touching letter from one of the King's Own Royal Lancasters.
Above its portal an inscription bore witness to his generosity: Petrus Martyr ab Angleria, italus civis mediolanensis, protonotarius apostolicus hujus insulæ, abbas, senatus indici consiliarius, ligneam priusædem hanc bis igne consumptam, latericio et quadrato lapide primus a fundamentis extruxit. Dejando tambien Mártir el priorado de Granada que posée, etc.
I dealt too leniently with that Jew I sent to pay for the redemption of jewels which were my own property! All my life have I been a just a humane a merciful man; I will be so no more. The world's doings are adverse to generosity and fair-dealing. In my old age have I learnt this!
Some of our company, whom we found in the prison, donated us the three sticks necessary to make tent-poles wonderful generosity when the preciousness of firewood is remembered.
"Would that be sufficient?" continued she. "Shall I call Charlotte, so that she may admire this superb bracelet, this monument of your generosity? Shall I have the concierge up, and call the cook to tell them how happy I am to possess such a magnificent lover." The advocate shrugged his shoulders like a philosopher, incapable of noticing a child's banter.
Ah, my friend, there you shared a mistake into which superficial minds are apt to fall; but in you perhaps it came from generosity, false modesty, or the desire to escape from me. Vulgar minds may mistake the effect of toil for the development of personal character, but you must not.
