The boy, unmoved by their agitation, returned the priest's look half- scornfully, half-sadly. "Your reverence, don't say fortunately. Since you are an Italian, say rather, 'Alas, that it is not so!"
Then he said, half-humorously, half-sadly: "My child, perhaps you know your own strength best. Perhaps your safest spiritual director is your own heart. Who knows? But whether it be so or not you will not take advice from me." She knew that was true now and, for a moment, felt almost ashamed. "Forgive me," she said.
Carriswood read it she realized for the first time how completely Tommy was acclimated in society. She remembered his plaint years ago, and his awe of "oil paintings" and "people of culture;" and she laughed half-sadly as she passed the note over to Miss Van Harlem. "I presume it is the Alexandria excursion that the Beatouns were talking about yesterday," she said, languidly.
"Ah," said the priest, half-sadly, "you will have plenty of everything over there, Mary, but I doubt if you will relish anything as much as what you and Dan used to buy out of the price of your chickens. Nothing is so sweet as what we earn for ourselves, woman dear.

Ryan say that the firm wanted to reward your good work, or, at least, that was what she meant, and you do work hard, and do overtime too sometimes; and I am going to knit a Shetland shawl for Mrs. Ryan, so that will be doing her a kindness in return, declared Vava. Stella sighed. 'I wish I were like you, able to enjoy everything, Vava, she said half-sadly.
She looked at him with an eagerness that was almost fierce; and in spite of her steady voice, there was something throbbing and quivering, deadly and terrible, in her upturned face. The form she looked at was erect and immovable, the eyes were quietly resolved, the mouth half-pityingly, half-sadly smiling. "Are you aware, dear lady, what the result of such a step would be?"
