A tug was passing, and she saw the sun flash from the cargo in its tow, while the faint echo of a song came wafting to her ears. She stood so for a long moment, fighting manfully with herself, then wheeled upon him suddenly. There was a new tone in her voice as she said: "If you will let me have one of your launches, I may be able to help you." "How?" he demanded, quickly.
He came down on deck again, and stood at the gangway pale as death, but manfully suppressing his emotion. The boat drew near us. She was evidently belonging to a merchantman, and, from her build, and the appearance of the people, they were English; but there was no female form among them.
The boy clung to his father's breast, and said manfully, "I will try!" Harley bent his fair smooth brow over the young earnest face, and said softly, "Your mother speaks in you!" Then the old countess, who had remained silent and listening on her elbow-chair, rose and kissed the earl's hand reverently.
In this way they struggled forward, manfully braving difficulties and dangers, until they came to where the bed of the river was narrowed to a mere chasm, with perpendicular walls of rock that defied all further progress.
As he spoke, the water gurgled up, so that it seemed as if about to pour inboard all round. At the same time the boat made a rush shoreward as if suddenly endowed with life. Dominick struggled manfully to keep the stern to the sea. He succeeded, but in another moment the boat slipped back.
And getting up, he stood before me in attitude like a soldier as he was, erect, still with arms folded, only not up to his chin, like Capt. Percival, but folded manfully. He had been watching me very intently; now he stood as intently looking off over the farther landscape. Methought I had a sort of pride in his fine appearance; and yet he did in no wise belong to me.
This had been a fair average season for Tammas, though of his four burials one had been a bairn's a mere bagatelle; but had it not been for the death of Little Rathie I would probably not have been out that year at all. The small farm of Little Rathie lies two miles from Thrums, and Tammas and I trudged manfully through the snow, adding to our numbers as we went.
"It is what our Cure here might call bearing his cross manfully." "Seigneur," said the Cure reproachfully, "Seigneur, it is no subject for jest." "Cure, our tailor here has treated it as a jest." "Let him show his breast, if it's true," said the grocer, who, beneath his smirking, was a malignant soul. The Cure turned on him sharply. Seldom had any one seen the Cure roused.
However much we may labour, we can only arrive at an inner conviction, not at objective certainty. All the glosses and asseverations in the world cannot carry us an inch beyond the due weight of the evidence vouchsafed to us. An honest and brave mind will accept manfully this condition of things, and not seek for infallibility where it can find none.
Private wars were frequent, and though the barbarism of the past ages had almost completely disappeared under the teaching of the Gospel, these contests, as might be expected, were both sanguinary and wasteful. The Church fought manfully against these private wars. It took every possible means to prevent them entirely.
