Can I write truly of a life in which the idea of God as Father, Monitor, and Friend is ever present and dominant, without showing you the springs of that life? When Isabel Marlay, with subdued heart, sought Miss Minorkey, it was with her resolution fixed to keep the trust committed to her, and, as far as possible, to remove all suspicions from Miss Minorkey's mind.
Gibbon, with his usual sneer, controverted it, perhaps in resentment of Johnson's having talked with some disgust of his ugliness , which one would think a philosopher would not mind. Dean Marlay wittily observed, 'A lady may be vain, when she can turn a wolf-dog into a lap-dog.
Such tricks does inclination play with the sternest resolves! The letter was deposited at the post-office immediately. Charlton did not dare give his self-denying resolution time to cool. Isa was not looking for letters, and Mrs. Ferret ventured to hint that the chance of meeting somebody on the street had something to do with her walk. Of course Miss Marlay was insulted.
Will you tell me whether that paper was of the nature of a will or deed or in short, what was its character?" "I will not tell you anything about it. It is Mrs. Plausaby's secret. I suppose you get your information from Mrs. Ferret. If she chooses to tell you the contents, she may." "You are a little sharp, Miss Marlay. I understand that Mrs. Ferret does not know the contents of that paper.
She thought a woman ought to stand by the man she loved to the death, if he were worthy. But Helen only sighed humbly, and said that she never was made for a heroine. She didn't even like to read about high-strung people in novels. She supposed it was her fault people had to be what they were, she supposed. Miss Marlay must excuse her, though.
"But at any rate promise me you won't do anything desperate without talking to me." "I'll do that air, Mr. Charlton," and the two shook hands again. It was Isabel Marlay that sought Albert again.
Isabel Marlay, who saw all, was sure that Smith had carried all his points. He had convinced the sweet and trusting Katy that an immediate marriage would be best for Brother Albert as well as for themselves. And as the boat sailed on, tacking to and fro, even the pilot got over his anxiety at the overloading which had taken place when Westcott got in.
For it makes every difference how a face is carried. The conversation between Charlton and Miss Marlay had not gone far in the matter of Katy and Smith Westcott until Albert found that her instincts had set more against the man than even his convictions.
He began to hope for all sorts of impossible accidents that might release him from his duty in the case. Just after dark he walked out. Of course he did not want to meet Miss Marlay his mind was made up he would not walk down Plausaby street at least not so far as Mrs. Ferret's house. There could be no possible harm in his going half-way there.
Ministers are about as unfair as pettifoggers in their way of arguing, and not more than one in twenty of them is brave enough to tell the whole truth." "Such notions! such notions!" cried Mrs. Plausaby. And Cousin Isa Miss Isabel Marlay, I should say for she was only a cousin by brevet here joined valiant battle in favor of the clergy.
