That old chap, who eats like a mule, is Lord Whippingham. He hasn't got a sixpence, and if you ask me how he lives well, there are ways and means foreign to your young and virgin mind. The old geezer used to run after little Betty Sine at the Apollo but she put an ice down his back at supper here one night and then there were partings.
Meetings at fair and market, blushing betrothments, merry weddings, the joy of young maternity, the lights and shades of domestic life, its bereavements and partings, its chances and changes, its holy death-beds, and funerals solemnly beautiful in quiet kirkyards, these furnish the hints of the immortal melodies of Burns, the sweet ballads of the Ettrick Shepherd and Allan Cunningham, and the rustic drama of Ramsay.
"No, Milly, dear sister; but when we get home to the Father's house on high, there will be no more partings, no sorrow, no sin nothing but everlasting joy and peace and love. "'Tis there we'll meet At Jesus' feet, When we meet to part no more. "Oh, doesn't it sometimes seem as if you could hardly wait for the time when you will be there with all the dear ones gone before?
Martineau had lain awake unable to sleep. He was haunted by the figure of Sir Richmond lying on his uncomfortable little bed in his big bedroom and by the curious effect of loneliness produced by the nocturnal desk and by the evident dread felt by Sir Richmond of any death-bed partings.
Not even the enthusiasm of partings from new friends, ship made, could draw him from this point as the vessel neared her dock.
"I don't want to seem to go," she said, with the calm of those who have logic on their side. As she drove away with her husband she was not so sure of her satisfaction in the feint she had arranged, though when she saw the ghastly partings of people on board, she was glad she had not allowed her son to come.
She preferred songs of a type that dealt with bitter regret over unexplained partings. She sang them with a great deal of expression and a slight difficulty in letting go of the top notes. After she had sung two or three, Lionel said: "Now, Winn, you sing." Estelle started. She had never before heard of this accomplishment of her husband's.
It is usually said that in such partings as these partings with definite hope of meeting and with nothing humanly tragic about them, so that the last interchange of voice is expected to be a laugh or a joke the sadder part is for those who stay. But I think this is mistaken.
It would be hard to see him at all in the coming days, for not often was Gerent here. However, partings must needs be, and we made the least of it, and so at last we rode together to the old bridge that crosses the Parrett, and there bade our last farewells, and went our ways, not looking back.
She laughed as at an unreasonable child. "It isn't the two months, dear. It's our whole life. There would be other partings, you see, other interests drawing me away. And if it became easier to leave you, then I should know that everything was wrong between us; but if it kept on being hard to divide myself between you and my work, then my work would suffer and so would you.
