"The flower is hidden until the electricities of the sun and light draw it forth into life and beauty." In speaking of the "choice of a husband," I referred to the only case I recollected where the lady's hesitation rendered a third meeting necessary. The exception was interesting.
"I hardly know just how to say it," he began with some hesitation, "but it's about the school and the new boys I'll meet there. I don't know what sort of fellows they are, and I you know, Grandma Elsie, I'm trying to be a Christian, and I I'm afraid if they are not the right sort of boys, they I might be weak enough to be led wrong as I have been before."
"Why don't you say something?" cried Lizabetha Prokofievna, stamping her foot. "Well," murmured the prince, with his eyes still fixed on Lebedeff, "I can see now that he did." "Is it true?" she asked eagerly. "Absolutely, your excellency," said Lebedeff, without the least hesitation. Mrs. Epanchin almost sprang up in amazement at his answer, and at the assurance of his tone.
She volunteered prompt explanation. There was no hesitation in Rhoda's face. "She means a make believe doll. Don't you, Rebecca Mary?" "Yes," Rebecca Mary assented; "that's her other name, I suppose, but I never called her by it." "What did you call her?" demanded practical Rhoda. "What's her name mean?"

"No one making trouble for you, my friend," answered the Clerk of the Court, "but someone who was trying to do you a good turn." "He must have been a stranger then," returned Jean Jacques bitterly. "Who was it?" M. Fille, after an instant's further hesitation, told him. "Oh, him M. Momay !" exclaimed Jean Jacques, with a look of relief, his face lighting.

The holding of the chest high while lifting the feet slowly, causes wonderful action of the diaphragm and of the stomach and vital organs. Slowness, however, does not mean hesitation, indifference, nor laziness. Mere lazy, indifferent practice will accomplish nothing.
He was energetic and swift in his movements, as though the world were easily read, and he could come to quick decisions and successful executions of his desires. He had no moments of laxity and hesitation, even after a breakfast, on a hot morning, too, of ham and eggs drenched in coffee. He made me feel an ineffective, delicate, and inferior being.
She used, in a superior, unprejudiced way, every convenience that the civilisation of her time offered her, and would have lived without hesitation in a lighthouse if this had contributed to her general scheme. She was now, in the interest of this scheme, preparing to use Europe, which she had not yet visited and with none of whose foreign tongues she was acquainted.
"Four francs and four francs fifty centimes," she said, her eyes full of tears, while the farmer's wife, who was looking at her askance, asked in much surprise: "Is the lady ill, as she is crying?"
