But we knew that this was impossible, and that, if we desired colored help, we must seek it at the intelligence office, which is in one of those streets chiefly inhabited by the orphaned children and grandchildren of slavery. To tell the truth these orphans do not seem to grieve much for their bereavement, but lead a life of joyous and rather indolent oblivion in their quarter of the city.
The white dimpled hands rested long upon the auburn locks of the still bended head, and her compassion flowed through them to the more than orphaned heart. It was the same head, she thought, and the same heart, as had once been blessed by a mother's anguished hand, doomed, as that mother knew, to the world's unreasoning scorn.
It was quite evident that they thought that the orphaned girl who was so richly dowered with wealth and beauty might make as good a wife for their matchless son as could be found, and such an opinion on their part was, indeed, a high compliment to Laura's birth and breeding. No one else in Hillaton would have been thought of with any equanimity.
Peter Andreich looked at her in silence. She drew near and took his hand, on which her quivering lips could scarcely press a silent kiss. He rose and bent over Fedia; the babe smiled and stretched out its tiny white hands towards him. The old man was touched. "Ah, my orphaned one!" he said.

He felt himself orphaned of heaven and earth, of God and man. But a process had commenced in Annie's mind that would have surprised him much.
Those eyes filled with tears when she thought that at her death her cherished child would be wholly orphaned and left exposed to the brutalities of a brother without faith or conscience.
"Nay, be not angered, Priscilla, although he feared thou wouldst be." "Ah, he did fear it, did he. Then why did he do it?" "Why, he feared that thou wert angry already, and he would have thee know he stood in terror, and dared not present himself" "John Alden, art thou and thy master joined in league to flout and insult me, an orphaned maid?
Nay, San Carlo, my subtle and admirable friend, one of the most penetrating of men, finds that all direct ascension, even of lofty piety, leads to this ghastly insight, and sends back the votary orphaned. My astonishing San Carlo thought the lawgivers and saints infected.
