Young girls like me in these poor-genteel families, there are none of God's creatures more helpless or goaded, starving at their souls. I couldn't teach. I had no talent; but if I had, a woman's a woman: she wants something else in her life than dog-eared school-books and her wages year after year." Blecker could hardly repress a smile.
The children look haggard and aged; they whisper to one another that time revolves but never advances, that we are goaded to run but have nothing to reach, that creation is like a blind man's groping. I said to myself, "Cease thy singing. Song is for one who is to come, the struggle without an end is for things that are."
'Lord bless us, I should think I did, I should think I did! cried Affery, exasperated into a new wringing of hands by the inquiry. 'Where about here? 'Where! cried Affery, goaded into another inspection of the keyhole. 'Where but here in this house?

Mrs. Poynsett was silent for a few moments, then she said, "My poor boy, I believe you are both victims of a plot. I suspect that Camilla Tyrrell purposely let you see that pebble-token and be goaded into gambling, that she might have a story to tell her sister, when she had failed to shake her constancy and principle in any other way." "Mother, that would make her out a fiend.
"With our own money," she retorted, hating herself for saying it, but goaded on by a devil that lived in her temper and had got control many a time, though never before when I happened to be the one with whom she was at outs. "No with my own," I replied tranquilly. "Your own!" she sneered. "Every dollar you have has come through what you got by marrying me through what you married me for.
"The speech was ill-advised ill-advised," persisted the Boss, irritably. "You should have consulted somebody." Shelby provoked him with a smile. "That was my idea, precisely," he returned. "I thought I'd consult the people." A difference springing from the November elections strained their relations farther, and goaded Shelby's patience to its utmost reach.
