"Aunt Hetty," he demanded, "did you say that thing that you called a mortgage belonged to Pearl and me?" "Yes," replied his aunt shortly, "and I as your legal guardian, may do with it as I see fit." "That is a strange law," replied her questioner. "But I tell you, Aunt Hetty, I won't have any of the money you take from those poor people, nor will Pearl. I'd rather be a beggar.
"Old Cameron died at our place the day before yesterday," answered Saul, not with desire to evade, but because it did not seem necessary to answer more directly. "What of?" The boy looked at the box with more interest now. "He died of a fall" briefly. The questioner looked at the pinewood box now with considerable solicitude. "Did his feet swell?" he asked.
"And how," asked the Englishman, whose interest had been much excited by his companion's narrative, "and how came you acquainted with my host? and by what means has he so well conciliated the goodwill of yourself and your friends?" Maestro Paulo turned his black eyes gravely towards his questioner.
"I should be obliged if you would inform me where the man lives," returned the lackey with polite words in supercilious tones. "What d' ye want wi' him, honest man?" grimly questioned the Partaness, the epithet referring to Duncan, and not the questioner. "That 1 shall have the honour of informing himself," he replied.
Damer been abroad for as long a time?" resumed her questioner, a vision arising on his mental faculties of a lemon-coloured woman with shoes down at heel. "Oh dear no!" replied his hostess.

"Well, now, guv'nor, what's your own notion of that?" he asked at last.
I could not endure it if I were compelled to lower my eyes before the noble image which my memory holds. Your father is no longer alive?" There followed a long, oppressive pause. Hartmut did not answer, but his head sank under the words of whose crushing significance the questioner had no knowledge, while his eyes seemed to pierce the ground. "No," he said at last, slowly.
One of these hands dropped on David's shoulder, and Father Roland became the questioner. "You have been thinking, since you left me a little while ago?" he asked. "Yes. I came back. But you were asleep." "I haven't been asleep. I have been awake every minute. I thought once that I heard a movement at the door but when I looked up there was no one there.
The tone of her voice sounded no longer like entreaty; it was an anxious, nay stern, command. Okoya's mother raised her eyes with an expression of intense misery; she threw toward her questioner a look imploring relief and protection, and finally gasped, "They know everything!"
II. We note the reason for the exhortation. Effort is needed for entrance, because many are shut out. The questioner would be no better for knowing whether few would enter, but he and all need to burn in on their minds that many will not. Very solemnly significant is the difference between striving and seeking. It is like the difference between wishing and willing.
