The care of the host of the Belle Etoile, and his assistants, had raised the wounded hero of a hundred fights partly against the wall, and propped him at each side with portmanteaus and pillows, and poured a glass of brandy, which was duly placed to his account, into his big mouth, where, for the first time, such a godsend remained unswallowed.
"We have one chance left, Margaret," said I. "Your father is only overcome by the smoke see, there's no sign of a wound about him and his fall is a godsend. Give me your other handkerchief and lie down flat, face to the floor and close to the window, and listen for my next instructions." She did so without a word.
"You should hae said instanter we'd be thankfu'. My certie! A crown a week, that's a fair godsend, Davie." "The widow has the first right to the godsend; if she canna tak' it, she'll send it our way, Maggie." "Davie, there is L50 in Largo Bank." "I ken that." "You'll tak' it. It will gie you a' the start you need at Aberdeen. Fayther said L30 a year wad do, wi' a carefu' hand to guide it.
There were plenty of fish in the pond, and once a year it was thoroughly drained and cleaned the water drawn off, and the bottom of the pond, which got choked up with mud and weeds, cleared out. They made a fine haul of fish on those occasions from the small pools that were left on each side while the cleaning was going on. Our ice-house was a godsend to all the countryside.
Cady and Clark had seen fresh tracks of a bear and cubs, and in the evening the latter took one of our guns and went in pursuit of the game which would have been a godsend to us.

I've done all I could afford foh George; but he don't seem to hold out. Many times he's kim back to work foh me, an' broke down. It'll be a godsend foh the pore feller, if so be he kin pull out.
She knew that he would not stay at Nanna Sinclair's, and she had prepared the room of her absent son for him. "If he can pay one shilling a day, it will be a godsend to me," she thought; and when she told David so he answered, "That is a little matter, and no doubt there will be good between us."
"The books will be a godsend," she returned, with a sudden brightening of the eyes; "I was getting desperate for books." "What are you reading now?" he asked, glancing at the volume that lay in her lap. "It's a Browning. I carry it about a good deal. I think I like to have it with me, but I don't seem to read it much." "Are you waiting for a suitable optimistic moment?"
The fog was a godsend to both of them, and they reaped a rich harvest from the occasion, for almost all the passengers seemed willing to spend their money freely for the means of occupying the heavy hours, and driving away that dreadful ennui which reigns supreme in a fog-bound steamer.
But it proved a godsend for Berkeley. At about midnight a message came to him from Captain Larrimore, explaining that he and his crew served under duress, that there were only forty soldiers left on board the Rebecca, and that if he could send thirty or forty gentlemen to the ship, he was sure they, with the help of the sailors, could retake her.
