But the chords of her resolution are shaken, the cold repulse has gone like poison to her heart. The ray of joy that was lighting up her future, seems passing away; whilst fainter and fainter comes the hope of once more greeting her lover. She sees vice pampered by the rich, and poor virtue begging at their doors.
God himself is working; His great thought wearieth not, nor standeth still, In every throb of his vast heart is lurking Some mighty purpose of his mightier will. Wherefore idle? Not a leaf's slight rustle But chides thee in thy vain, inglorious rest; Be a strong actor in the great world, bustle, Not a, weak minion or a pampered guest! Wherefore idle? Oh I my faint soul, wherefore?
To the taste thus pampered, history becomes dry, grammar laborious, and religion dull. "My wife, who was left to travel through the wide expanse of Universal History, and the dreary deserts of Rapin and Mezerai, is, I will venture to assert, more competently skilled in ancient, French, and English history, than any of the girls who have been fed, or rather starved, on extracts and abridgments.
Their appetites had been pampered; their habits had become unmanly; their general tone was relaxed; and they were likely to deteriorate still more in the wealthy and luxurious cities where they were bidden to pass the winter.

I could not tell, and so I sat in my seat awaiting what the event would sow. Phorenice's fury was growing. "Do I stand alone here?" she cried.

There was a shifting of eyes, a hesitation.
Horses and mules were not employed in this way; they were used only for pleasure, and not labor. They were seen in the same streets, pampered, spirited, and richly caparisoned, enjoying a state far superior to the negroes, and appearing to look down on the fettered and burdened wretches they were passing, as on beings of an inferior rank in the creation.
Here the pampered fowl slept luxuriously, and for a time had been the delight of its owner's eyes. "Let's sit down on the grass and watch it awhile. We can eat our crackers here, first rate, 'cause if we get thirsty we can drink out of the spigot o' running water that cooky has fixed for the hen," suggested Alfy.
I portrayed the well-known fidelity of the dog. No matter what the master, whether fortune's pampered darling, or a beastly denizen of the gutter, his dog was always his friend. Be he kind and gentle, or cruel and pitiless, still his dog crouches in loving submission.
"Unlike my former frivolous, pampered self!" cried the girl. "I'm no longer a silly debutante, papa. I've lived the grim hard realities of life there on that dreadful coast with him. I'm a woman." "You child! You're not even twenty-one." "I am old older than the centuries, papa old enough to know my own mind." She turned to Blake. "You were right, Tom. This is my home legally mine.
Whoever sowed the seed of vice and expected a virtuous produce, pampered a vain brain and encouraged an idle whim. Take the cotton from thy ear and do mankind justice, for if thou refusest them justice there is a day of retribution. The sons of Adam are members one of another, for in their creation they have a common origin.
