You fill dat pail double-quick, or, golly, you catch it!" A threat! Lilian listens to it, and obeys! "I am coming, Aunt Lucy!" replied the girl, in a trembling voice, at the same time hastening to fill the water-can. I was in hopes that this conciliatory answer would send the mulatta back into the corral.
I have submitted hitherto, and heaven knows it has been bitter enough; and you scorn me for my submission," said the doctor, making the discovery by instinct. "When a fellow obeys you, it is only contempt you feel for him; but I tell you, Nettie, I will bear it no longer. You shall not go away. This is not to be. I will neither say good-bye, nor think of it.
"Your grandson admires the journey which you propose so very greatly, that he was even now preparing for setting out upon it instantly." "This is to be too forward, Roland," said the dame, addressing him, "as yesterday you were over slack the just mean lies in obedience, which both waits for the signal to start, and obeys it when given.
"It is wonderful," says Bede, "that he who faithfully and loyally obeys the Creator of the universe, should, in his turn, see all the creatures obedient to his orders and his wishes."

Must not he, therefore, have decided the children's fate ere he consented to see their mother?
“Every age unconsciously obeys, even in its poetry, the laws of its individual life. A patriarchal age could not, therefore, have invented the matriarchate, and the myths which describe the latter may be regarded as trustworthy witnesses of its historical existence.
Help cannot come to one made in the image of God, save in the obedient effort of what life and power are in him, for God is action. In such effort alone is it possible for need to encounter help. It is the upstretched that meets the downstretched hand. He alone who obeys can with confidence pray to him alone does an answer seem a thing that may come.
