I do not wish to discourage them; I wish them God-speed, but I cannot help them nor become their disciple. Possibly I am doing nothing better than devising excuses for lotus-eating, but here they are. To take up something merely because I am idle is useless. The message must come to me, and with such urgency that I cannot help delivering it.
They put their affairs to rights hurriedly, and early in November sailed for France. The Leicesters were at the dock to bid them God-speed and to chirrup over their good fortune. "It's all like a good, old-fashioned story," beamed Mrs. Leicester, content with romance for once, now that it had arranged itself so decorously. "Very satisfactory; quite right," the clergyman added.
But you shall have your way of it. I will ask at you one service, and then set you free. My clerks are over-driven; be so good as copy me these few pages," says he, visibly swithering among some huge rolls of manuscripts, "and when that is done, I shall bid you God-speed!

Stanhope and her little daughter on the way to Switzerland, Clarissa gave them many a God-speed, and, turning back into the empty house, she wiped away the tears she could no longer repress, saying softly to herself: "'Their rapture gathers more and more; The sick are well again."

He bade her farewell and God-speed in a very kind and tender manner, so much so that Seraine has ever spoken kindly of him as a man. "She repaired to the hotel and told Capt. Redingson that she desired to leave early the next morning for the Headquarters of the Union army.
