So, then, I am an intriguer, an actress, a hypocritical harpy, a domestic plotter?" As she spoke, Dona Perfecta uncovered her face and looked at her nephew with a martyr-like expression. Pepe was perplexed. The tears as well as the gentle voice of his father's sister could not be insignificant phenomena for the mathematician's soul. Words crowded to his lips to ask her pardon.
"You shall not be disappointed." Pretty Michal crossed her arms over her breast, and turning her martyr-like face to heaven, looked up as if transfigured, while Valentine supported her with his stalwart arm. A solemn pause ensued, and then the silence was broken by the heartrending cry of Dame Sarah: "I appeal!" "To whom?" inquired the cruelly cold voice of the superrector. "To the Prince."
Then they boasted of their individual regiments all except Berkley extolling their discipline, their marching, their foraging efficiency, their martyr-like endurance. "What's your Colonel like, anyway?" inquired Casson, turning to Berkley. "He's a good officer," said the latter indifferently. "Do you like him?" "He has merit."
Pyotr Mihalitch looked steadily at the water and imagined his sister's despair, her martyr-like pallor, the tearless eyes with which she would conceal her humiliation from others. He imagined her with child, imagined the death of their mother, her funeral, Zina's horror. . . . The proud, superstitious old woman would be sure to die of grief.
Lebours, who meanwhile flourished the reward-book; Miss Rader approached Adèle, and tapping her unkindly on the shoulder, she whispered to her in a whistling tone, her snaky eyes expressing the kindliness of a tiger: "You see what you gain through wanting to leave my school; you lose a beautiful book." Adèle was not unhappy. On the contrary; she experienced an elevating, martyr-like sensation.
Into it she put the skill and experience of her long years of editorship, urging every faculty to the work, and applying herself with a degree of industry that characterized the zeal of her best working years. And it testifies to the martyr-like nature of her spirit, that she even rallied from the disappointment consequent upon the financial failure of the book.
"Oh no! not at all," returned Aunt Meg, her voice suddenly assuming the most plaintive, martyr-like tone; "the house does not belong to me. Debby, will you assist me to my bedroom? and no, Judith, I could not think of troubling you; but perhaps Nellie would help her poor aunt for once."
I have not been after the crude material as you call it yet, and I'm told that there is not a man living so amiable and philosophical, but that a poor dinner provokes martyr-like expression, if nothing worse;" and with a smile and a piquancy of manner that seemed peculiarly brilliant against the background of her deep and repressed feeling, she again left him.
Burleigh, if you wish, you may group some of your friends near;" and away she rustled, sweeping the floor with her silken train. Mr. Chints lumbered after her with a perplexed and martyr-like expression. He was a mighty man in Washington Market, but in a matter like this he was as helpless as a stranded whale.
He was a spiritual physician whom God empowered to heal many a wounded and stricken heart; but there was a cross of suffering that he bore himself, which could not be removed. It was his glory that he bore it with martyr-like patience that he never uttered a reproachful word to her through whom he bore it.
