You heard him, papa; he says, 'Bibbs'll be a bigger business man than what Jim and Roscoe was put together if he ever wakes up, he says. Wasn't that exactly what he says?" "I suppose so," said Sheridan, without exhibiting any interest. "Gurney's crazier'n Bibbs, but if he wasn't if what he says was true what of it?" "Listen, papa. Just suppose Bibbs took it into his mind to get married.
Yet she was not without a sense that if she could but contrive to alter her ways with the children it would be well for her. Mr. Gurney's cheque was safely put away in the Clough End bank, and clearly her best policy would have been to make things tolerable for the two persons on whose proceedings if they did but know it! the arrival of future cheques in some measure depended.
There was no sharp dividing-line between worldliness and consecration of life in Elizabeth Gurney's case. The work was very gradually accomplished; once started into earnest living, she discerned, what was all unseen before, a path to higher destinies. Standing on the ruins of her former dead self, she strove to attain to higher things.
The words were indistinguishable, but Sheridan inclined his head to Gurney's ear and shouted fiercely: "Talkin' to himself! By George!" Gurney laughed reassuringly, and shook his head. Bibbs returned to song: Chang! Chang, bash, chang! It's I! WHO looks a mustang in the eye? Fearless and bo His father grasped him by the arm. "Here!" he shouted. "Let ME show you how to run a strip through there.
Gurney's store on Granville Street; but meeting Maud Harrington and Fanny Beverly, they stopped a moment to speak to them. "Which way are you going, girls?" Dexie asked, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "We are on our way home, just now," said Fanny, "but it is a wonder that you girls are not taking advantage of the sleighing, when it will last only a day or two at the most."
She might as well, seeing that so much of her sewing was being prepared in Mrs. Gurney's sewing-room. This, and pages more, was reiterated daily, till Dexie would snatch up her work and run to her aunt's room, and she was heartily glad when the time came to leave Gussie and her unkind words behind her.
Gurney's diary will afford a fair insight into her character: If our piety does not appear adequate to supporting us in the exigencies of life, and I may add, death, surely our hearts cannot be sufficiently devoted to it. The mind stands less in need of conviction than conversion. These reflections have led me to decide on what I most covet for my daughters, as the result of our daily pursuits.
He was sorry for his father and for Roscoe, and for Edith and for Sibyl, but their sufferings and outcries seemed far away. Sibyl was under Gurney's care. Roscoe had sent for him on Sunday night, not long after Bibbs returned the abandoned wraps; and during the first days of Sibyl's illness the doctor found it necessary to be with her frequently, and to install a muscular nurse.
Gurney's ability to succeed where the rest of us all fail; but the next trouble is, I haven't the least idea what Dexie intended to do with the yards of lace she brought home this morning, unless she intends to drape it over her dress in some way." "Mrs. Gurney has promised to relieve us of that trouble also.
William Alien records in the same year, 1808, the formation of a "Society for Diffusing Information on the Subject of Punishment by Death." This little band worked with Sir Samuel until his painful death in 1818; while Dr. Parr, Jeremy Bentham, and Dugald Stewart aided the enterprise by words of encouragement, both in public and in private. In Joseph John Gurney's Memoirs, it is stated that Dr.
