He too was morbidly conscious of the pictures, though he wished his father wouldn't talk about them. He was conscious of everything that meant money of his mother's pearls for instance, which she wore every evening without thinking about them. If he did well with the pictures on the morrow she might, perhaps, justly keep them, as a dowry for Nelly.
Or does he only seem to do that, because I have grown so morbidly conscious of their existence as the only thing vital in life? That's what he thinks, evidently. Well, I'd like to have him live a mother's life and see how he'd escape it!" "Mother," said Paul seriously, "Mother, Mark isn't even awake yet, and he'll never be ready for school." "Oh, his teacher had to go to a wedding today.
What a theology that made the Creator and Preserver of all mankind thus illogical!

For an act of generous patriotism for which he deserved the thanks of all his countrymen he had received vilification from many of them. These things embittered him. They made him distrustful of the spirit that prevailed in his own land.
But did you know of any friends in G ?" "No, none at all." "No friends whom he might have made while he was in America and then met again in Germany?" "No, he never spoke of any such to me. He told me that he made few friends. He did not seek them for he was afraid that they might find out what had happened and turn from him. He was morbidly sensitive and could not bear the disappointment."

Yourii did not hear him, being morbidly pleased with his own eloquence. There was a beautiful gloom about his utterances, so he thought; they seemed to ennoble him, to heighten his sense of self-respect.
Herold in a strange and morbidly excitable state of mind, the result of ill-health, so that instead of discussing my views with her, my only thought was to keep her calm and avoid upsetting her by even the slightest appeal for help.
