Simplicity of diet, too, is going out with simplicity of dress, with simplicity of habits generally; and stimulants and concentrated food are now the rule in the nursery, where they mar as many constitutions as they make.
There was the material ill ever present in the round of wearisome physical toil, the coarse, distasteful food, the hard, narrow couch, the constant, gnawing irksomeness of imprisonment, away from light and air, away from all that makes life worth while. Yet, these afflictions were not the worst injuries to mar the girl convict's life.
All was innocence and duty in Helen's breast; and every ingenuous action showed its affection and its joy. The estranged heart of Lady Mar had closed against him; and though he suspected not its wanderings, he felt the unutterable difference between the warm transports of his daughter and the frigid gratulations forced from the lips of his wife.
Live IN society, it needs men of your stamp and intellectual calibre; show it a high and consistent example let no eccentricity mar your daily actions work at your destiny steadily, cheerfully, serenely, and leave the rest to God, and the angels!" There was a slight, tender inflection in his voice as he spoke the last words, and Alwyn gave him a quick, searching glance.
They did not know that the boy was to become the harbinger of a great truth, that his mind would refuse to travel in the old path. At an early age Ferrer began to question the faith of his fathers.

We attribute to them, not simply what they did, but all that they might have done.

We glorify him with his possibilities.
They intended to conceal the whole shameful affair from me, but the old grandmother fearing that some untoward circumstance might mar the scheme of possessing the ample fortune she well knew my boy expected to control wrote me all the disgraceful facts, imploring my clemency, and urging me to remove Cuthbert from associates outside of his classmates, who were dragging him to ruin.
No mark or line in his face indicated care or any of the burdens that usually depress and trouble men. If such things were felt in his experience their force was spent long before they had contrived to mar his unruffled countenance. Though the house had tumbled before his eyes, by not a single vibration would his complacent voice have been intensified.
Dusk had quickly followed the short twilight. Mateo led her by dark and grass-grown streets toward the point behind which the sloop was anchored. On turning a corner they beheld the Hotel Orilla del Mar three streets away, nebulously aglow with its array of kerosene lamps. Mrs. Conant paused, with streaming eyes. "I must, I must see him once before I go," she murmured in anguish.
This wet weather is a bar to any essential progress. The walls are still too damp to admit of either paint or paper. I have a bed ready for the judge; ne vous genez pas la-dessus. I am afraid some foolish reflections in my last will embarrass you. Your affection and tenderness has put them to flight. "Let nothing mar the promised bliss."
