I'll never forget that first trip the heartbreaks, the insults I endured, the disappointments, the humiliation, until they understood that I meant business strictly business. I'm tired of hearing you men say that this and that and the other isn't woman's work. Any work is woman's work that a woman can do well. I've given the ten best years of my life to this firm.
It was one of the heartbreaks of a tragic day that no one ever knew just when the Lady reached the door or how long she and her unconscious master waited in the storm for admission.
I made some nice little rhubarb tarts this morning." We went. In spite of new disappointments and old heartbreaks we had appetites. And Felicity did make scrumptious rhubarb tarts! When the time came to hand in our collections for the library fund Peter had the largest three dollars. Felicity was a good second with two and a half. This was simply because the hens had laid so well.
The stillness of the house was as the stillness of ages. Human creatures had come and gone, as the days went and came, sunshine coming in at one moment, darkness falling the next, nothing altering the calm routine, the established order. Pains and fevers and heartbreaks, and death itself, would disappear and leave no sign, and all remain the same in the quaint rose-scented room.
There were others in the camp with lives and dreams and heartbreaks of their own. And in the seemingly distant Valley, countless animal young were being born, some who would rise to the magnificent freedom that only an untamed creature of the Wild can know, some who would never reach adulthood, their flesh sacrificed to feed the young of others.
Why didn't he try peaceably to settle this question with Germany? Why could he not have waited a little longer? Why was he so anxious to go to war with Germany, yet at the same time why was he so tender of the feelings of Great Britain in the matter of the blockade? Were I to advise radical action now, we should have nothing, I am afraid, but regrets and heartbreaks.
"We should never dare to bring such trivial troubles to you were you a senior." "And I'm glad to be a junior still," replied Jane. "Judith and I decided on this extra year to specialize. But even were I a senior, Maud, I would be happy to hear your heartbreaks," with a twist of her mouth that took care of the paradox. "Thanks a lot."
Nor can you always trace the evil effects of such mistakes in the later character of the child. But there can be no doubt that many of the heartbreaks, misunderstandings, and estrangements between parents and children are due to mistakes that could have been avoided by a knowledge of the nature of the child's mind.
The two stepped briskly on, and Dalton, watching Joyce, shook his head ruefully, then turned to Larry. "It's too bad she's just as she is. It means a lot of heartbreaks and disappointments. Pity women can't take the world as it is." "Well, perhaps provided they don't leave it as it is.
I wouldn't have `Swannie Ribber, or `Home, Sweet Home, or `Annie Laurie, or any of those old songs sung at the Lost Souls' Hotel they're the cause of more heartbreaks and drink and suicide in the bush than anything else. And if a jackaroo got up to sing, `Just before the battle, mother, or, `Mother bit me in me sleep, he'd find it was just before the battle all right.
