She could not have found a name for them, but she understood that she was whirled and tossed through life from one thing to another, like a leaf before the wind, bereft of every stay or holdfast, defenceless even against the foolish vagaries of her own nature.
Then we forget all about the still depths in which we ought to be living; and fears and hopes and loves and ambitions disturb our souls, just as they do the spirits of the men that do not profess to have any holdfast in God. The peace of God is ours; but, ah! in how sad a sense it is true that the peace of God is not ours!
"`And gave the order which saved the ship, and all our lives, said the captain, interrupting me, and smiling pleasantly. `Holdfast, my man, you did a most seaman-like thing. I shall at once give you a higher rating, for you have shown yourself thoroughly deserving of it. "I never saw a fellow so thoroughly astonished.
The ablest men, if not writers, are unwise to fence writers. Holdfast received phonetic letters threatening his life: he acknowledged them in his journal and invited the writers to call. He loaded a revolver and went on writing the leaders with a finger on the trigger. CALIFORNIA! Oh, dear, no: the very center of England.
Haines laughed and, as he took his soft grey hat from the holdfast of the hammock, said: I don't know, I'm sure. He strolled out to the doorway. Buck Mulligan bent across to Stephen and said with coarse vigour: You put your hoof in it now. What did you say that for? Well? Stephen said. The problem is to get money. From whom?

Still, I don't quite like going to the bottom in the Nantucket. I was looking forward to at least twenty years or so more of life." "We must submit to the will of God," said Harry. "You are quite right, my boy! It is easy to see that you have been well trained. Mr. Holdfast" for they had reached the place where the mate was standing "shall we outlive the storm?" "It is hard to say, Mr. Stubbs.
"But, certes," said he, "the foul paynim met his match; for, ever as he foined at me with his brand, I parried his blows with my bauble, and closing with him upon the third veny, threw him to the ground, and made him cryrecreant to an unarmed man." "Tush, man!" said Drawslot, "thou forgettest thy best auxiliaries, the good greyhounds, Help and Holdfast!
Not to protract the reader's suspense, let me say that by great good fortune the mate of the approaching ship, in sweeping the ocean with his glass caught sight of the two boats, and changed the course of the vessel so as to fall in with them. "Who are you?" he hailed. "Shipwrecked sailors and passengers of the ship Nantucket," was the answer of Mr. Holdfast.
Edward then walked out of the covert, thinking that if ever there was a face which proclaimed a man to be a murderer it was that of James Corbould. As he was threading his way, he heard the howl of a dog, and on looking round, perceived that Holdfast was not with him. He turned back, and Holdfast came running to him.
