But to know that God was good, and fair, and kind heartily, I mean, not half-ways, and with ifs and buts my boy, there would be nothing left to be miserable about. In a momentary flash of thought, Robert wondered whether this might not be his old friend, the repentant angel, sent to earth as a man, that he might have a share in the redemption, and work out his own salvation.
On the contrary, you find it beginning as new scientific discoveries and inventions now begin here a little and there a little, the same thing half-done in various half-ways, and so as no one who knew the best way would ever have begun.
Yet it is only fair to say to you now that I can see but one outcome. There are many conflicts which arise in life which admit of compromise but you cannot compromise with truth, with virtue, or with honor. These attributes either exist, or they do not there are no half-ways. Suppose you do a little thinking, too, along my line.
Well, there she laid for weeks, half-ways between dead an' alive, an' me like a feller in a dream, thinkin' an' thinkin', an' not able to rec'lect anything but the hammerin's I used to give her, an' the things I used to take off of her, an' set her cryin'. I would n't go through that lot agen, not if I got a pension for it.
Half-way to it, as hospitality has ordained to be the case wherever there be half-ways, occurred a public-house: and really, notwithstanding all our monied neophyte's economical resolutions, his throat was so "uncommon dry," that he needs must stop there to refresh the muscles of his larynx: so, putting down his bundle on the settle, he called for a foaming tankard, and thanking the crock, as his evil wont now was, sat down to drink and think.
Me an' the ole man was comin' down from Karowra with the last o' the clip; an' these paddicks was as bare as the palm o' your hand; so we goes on past here, an' camps half-ways between the fur corner o' the ram-paddick an' the station gate; an' looses out about an hour after sundown.
And indeed the hat, with its grand feather all broken and draggled, was a poor-looking thing enough before she was half-ways to the Crooked Boreen. As for the grand shoes with the high heels, they were like sponges upon her feet, and she slipping in them as she stumbled along through mud and gutter to her ankles. But she kept going on! The baby lay warm and snug upon her heart.
Again I heard Lincoln's voice at the loophole. "What is it?" I inquired. "How are yer ter get out, Cap'n?" "We are cutting a hole through the wall." "If yer can give me the spot, I'll meet yer half-ways." I measured the distance from the loophole, and handed the string to Lincoln. We heard no more from the hunter until the moonlight glanced through the wall upon the blade of his knife.
"Weel," said Trinidad Joe, dejectedly, "Bess allows she can rar that baby and do justice to it. And I don't say though I'm her father that she can't. But when Bess wants anything she wants it all, clean down; no half-ways nor leavin's for her." "That's me! go on, Dad you're chippin' in the same notch every time," said Miss Robinson, with cheerful directness.
