Keith asked, something in her placid face seeming to tell of longing desire to be near and like her Lord." "Only for the sake of those to whom you are so dear, Aunt Marcia," Elsie answered, her eyes glistening. "I shall keep them as long as ever I can," said Annis. There was a moment's silence; then Edward asked, "Now what about Isa's request?" "What do you say, Elsie?" Mr.
Plausaby did not feel well enough to write; this is what Isa said it was, and what she believed it to be, but Charlton knew that Isa's own friendly heart had planned it. And though it ran on about this and that unimportant matter of village intelligence, yet were its commonplace sentences about commonplace affairs like a fountain in the desert to the thirsty soul of the prisoner.
Ferret, listening to the tones of his voice and seeing the light in Isa's eyes, shook her head, and said to herself that it was scandalous for a Chrischen girl to act in such a way. If the warmth of feeling shown in the interview between Albert and Isa had anything improper in it under the circumstances, Mrs. Ferret knew how to destroy it.
Isa's hands were brown, no doubt, like her cheeks, owing to exposure and sunshine, and they were somewhat roughened by honest toil; but they were small and well-shaped, with taper fingers, and their touch was very tender as she clasped them on her lover's arm.
It's just the first dash of cold water in the face, child; after that all lives is pretty much the same." Joyce had grown quieter as Isa's words droned on. It was, for all her commotion, a very humdrum thing that had happened to her. As it was she, Joyce, was going to be very respectable. She'd manage, and Jude would always find her worth his while to be decent for.
Her temper, her passion, and her "badness" are almost daily confessed and deplored: "I will never again trust to my own power, for I see that I cannot be good without God's assistance . I will not trust in my own selfe, and Isa's health will be quite ruined by me it will indeed."
I will not here describe the excellence or defect of either; but will, if it be in my power, say a word as to this difference. The German girl of one-and-twenty, our Isa's age, is more sedate, more womanly, more meditative than her English sister. The world's work is more in her thoughts, and the world's amusements less so.
In spite of Isa's devoted and ingenious kindness, the sensitive vanity of Mrs. Plausaby detected in every motion evidence that Isa thought of her as a thief. She somehow got a notion that Mrs. Ferret knew all about it also, and from her and Mr. Lurton she half-hid her face in the cover. Lurton, perceiving that his mission to Mrs.
It is what men always do, they bind women to silence and then disclose the secret themselves, and say, "Nothing is safe with these women." Any way, these girls have been generous, or else true to their ESPRIT DE CORPS, I do not know which to call it; for though they looked on at Isa's manoeuvres and my blindness with indignant contempt, they never attempted to interfere.
And you will be a grand man, and have a horse to ride on." Whereupon Herbert went away in disgust. Nothing in all this made him so unhappy as the feeling that Isa, under all their joint privations, would not be unhappy herself. As far as he could see, all this made no difference in Isa. But, in truth, he had not yet read Isa's character very thoroughly.
