I've been on the point of putting an end to it many a time but I always held out for another drink! Now, even my pride's gone. It stuck to me longer than anything else, but it's taken itself off at last. I've been feeling lately that I'm pretty near the end, and I wanted to see Kenton City again before it came.
Vanity's a confounded donkey, very apt to put his head between his legs, and chuck us over; but pride's a fine horse, who will carry us over the ground, and enable us to distance our fellow-travellers. Mr Chucks had pride, and that's always commendable, even in a boatswain. How often have you read of people rising from nothing, and becoming great men?
I had imagined that for her pride's sake she would not wish him to know her real reasons for breaking off the engagement. But Rachel herself had no thought of her pride; her anxiety was simply and wholly for Will's comfort. I looked up at her in a passion of admiration, and in that moment a question which had tormented me for weeks past seemed to find its solution.
He looked at her with a complexity of communication that no words could have meddled with. "Pride's all right when it helps one to bear things." "Ah," said Nanda, "but that's only when one wants to take the least from them. When one wants to take the most !" "Well?" he spoke, as she faltered, with a certain small hardness of interest. She faltered, however, indeed. "Oh I don't know how to say it."
But she did her best, for her pride's sake, to envelop her movement with a matter-of-fact air; and when she had got about four steps away from him, she remarked, quite distinctly: "Don't get up.... I ... want to get something." And she did, in fact, go on to mamma's desk and attentively select three more sheets of note-paper, which would no doubt come in handy for something or other some day.
"Well, at any rate, madam," said the Doctor, "you are here now, and before you go I want to" He drew out his pocket-book. There was a quick gesture of remonstrance and a look of pleading. "No, no, Doctor, please don't! please don't! Give my poor husband one more chance; don't make me take that. I don't refuse it for pride's sake!" "I don't know about that," he replied; "why do you do it?"
And that man I must marry, for my pride's sake." "I am afraid " began Mrs. Yeobright. "Ah, you think, 'That weak girl how is she going to get a man to marry her when she chooses? But let me tell you one thing, aunt: Mr. Wildeve is not a profligate man, any more than I am an improper woman.
Ossining, Hudson, Albany, Fonda, and Pride's Fall.... Thank you.... Mr. Malcourt wishes you to send the Morgan horses.... If there is any change in Mr. Hamil's condition before the train leaves the Grand Central at 10.20, let me know. I will be at the telephone station until the last moment. Telegrams for the train should be directed to me aboard "The Seminole" the private car of Mr.
Men have committed murder for jealousy's sake, and anger's sake, and hatred's sake, and selfishness' sake, and spiritual pride's sake; but no man that ever I heard of, ever committed a diabolical murder for sweet charity's sake. Mere self-interest, then, if no better motive can be enlisted, should, especially with high-tempered men, prompt all beings to charity and philanthropy.
He had physicians in consultation from Utica and Albany; he had nurses and oxygen; he had Miss Palliser on the telephone, first in New York, then at Albany, and finally at Pride's Fall, to tell her that Hamil was alive. She arrived after midnight with Wayward. Hamil was still breathing if it could be called by that name.
