Merthyr smiled: "I thought it must be the woman's feeling that would interfere to stop a natural emotion. Is it true or did I not see that certain eyes were red just now?"

I have never had to endure so painful a sight."
A week passed, each day growing brighter and hotter, until the glare flung back by sandy soil and whitening grass became painful, and George and his assistants discarded most of their clothing when they went about their tasks.
Pennie sighed; Ethelwyn and the mandarin were both painful subjects to her, and she felt just now as though the world were full of trials. There was this dreadful dancing-class looming in the distance something awful and unknown, to which she was daily getting nearer and nearer.
Neither the deputy-warden nor the jailer both of whom, as he knew, were the extortioner's creatures were to be informed of it till the last moment. Certain disclosures respecting Clement Lanyere, which were made by Luke Hatton to the young knight, affected him very deeply, and plunged him for a long time in painful thought.

Charles went down stairs, and the first meeting with Mr and Mrs Monteath was very painful.
Blanche soon came to herself in her father's arms; Maud, though thoroughly frightened, had kept her head, and escaped without even a wetting; and Herbert's bruises, though painful, were nothing to be alarmed about as soon as he had recovered from the stunning effect of the blow on his head.
