I came butting in on your life of my own free will, and, whatever happens, it's been worth it to have known you and tried to be of service to you." "You're the best friend I've ever had." "I'm glad you think that." "The best and kindest friend any girl ever had. I wish . . ." She broke off. "Oh, well. . ." There was a silence. In the castle somebody had begun to play the piano.
His straight stiff hair was shorn in rather odd and rather ugly lines along his forehead and temples, and of his clothes the kindest thing to say was that they were unobtrusive. Franklin had once said of himself, with comic dispassionateness, that he looked like a cheap cigar, and the comparison was apt.
He was very anxious to see you, sent you his love and kindest remembrances, and had I known in time yesterday I should have sent expressly for you to come up. But I did not know of his wish or condition till after the departure of the cars yesterday.
"Content you, my friend," said Simon, "with knowing that, if you judge Father Clement by what you see him do and hear him say, you will think of him as the best and kindest man in the world, with a comfort for every man's grief, a counsel for every man's difficulty, the rich man's surest guide, and the poor man's best friend. But if you listen to what the Dominicans say of him, he is Benedicite!
He is a friendly old gun, and for my part I have none but the kindest feelings towards him. It was his duty to shell us, and he did; but he did it in an open, manly way. Behind the half-country of light red soil they had piled up round him you could see his ugly phiz thrust up and look hungrily around. A jet of flame and a spreading toad-stool of thick white smoke told us he had fired.
"I knew you would; and that's the reason I wanted to see you," blubbered Sim, seating himself by my side. "You said you stopped work yesterday," I continued, in the kindest tones I could command, for I was much moved by his apparent distress. "Yes; I stopped work yesterday, and and and that's the reason I wanted to see you," sobbed he, wiping his face with his dirty hands.
"I suppose the kindest thing to do would be to let her alone," said Edna. "When she comes down. Miss Martha, please tell her where we are, and ask her to join us. Perhaps she can bring you and Judge Trent with her. I see he is still motionless in that hammock." "Yes, tell her to be sure to come," said Dunham; and the two left the house and started off through the wood road.
You know what I am, and what I came of, and what have I in the world except the honour of a gentleman? Mr. Kendal and yourself have been my kindest friends, and I'll be grateful to my dying day; but if Mr. Kendal thinks I can submit tamely when he resents what he never ought to have noticed, why, then, what have I to do but to show him the difference?
'Here is my kindest friend, she said, as she conducted him to Louis, and they shook hands in the very manner she wished to see, learning mutual esteem from her tone and each other's aspect. 'I am sorry to have intruded, said Mr. Ward. 'I came in the hope that you might find some means of making me of use to you; and, perhaps, I may yet be of some assistance to Lord Fitzjocelyn.
Mason was as kind as she could be to her, but you know one must feel "blue" at times when one has lost all but one relative in the world, and that one is a dear brother who is way, way off, even if one is surrounded by the kindest friends. So now, tell me, don't you think Letty had something to shed tears about? "I j-just c-can't help it.
