You have been very kind to me of late, and gentle, and you have spared me those little sallies of ridicule, which, owing to my miserable and wretched touchiness of character, used formerly to make me wince, as if I had been touched with hot iron. Things that nobody else cares for enter into my mind and rankle there like venom.
And there haunted him, too, another peculiarity in the man, which he had never before remarked in any one but Arsenius that ease and grace, that courtesy and self-restraint, which made Raphael's rebukes rankle all the more keenly, because he felt that the rebuker was in some mysterious way superior to him, and saw through him, and could have won him Over, Or crushed him in argument, or in intrigue or in anything, perhaps, except mere brute force.
It will rankle long; you cannot get it out you are married to the king now, and Zoroaster has turned priest for love of you. I think even the king would hardly love you if he could see you now you look so pale. I will send for the Chaldean physician you might die. I should be sorry if you died, you could not suffer any more then.
That the barbed shaft might sink deep and rankle from Andrea's belief that her supplanter was a girl of her tribe, but principally because, just then, she went down under the ruins of her own olla.
It is of proof against conciliation, love, and confidence; against all gentle sympathy from without, all trust, all tenderness, all soft emotion; but to deep stabs in the self-love, it is as vulnerable as the bare breast to steel; and such tormenting festers rankle there, as follow on no other wounds, no, though dealt with the mailed hand of Pride itself, on weaker pride, disarmed and thrown down.
I wonder whether there is still anything rankling in your bosom against me." "Oh dear no. What should rankle with me?" "What indeed; unless you resent my regard." "I am not so rich in friends as to do that, Mr. Morton." "I don't suppose there can be many people who have the same sort of feeling for you that I have." "There are not many who have known me so long, certainly."
But it seems to me that she has too many female physicians already. In this house I should think it better to call a man." She left the barb to rankle in Miss Gleason's breast, and followed her mother to her room, who avenged Miss Gleason by a series of inquisitional tortures, ending with the hope that, whatever she did, Grace would not have that silly creature's blood on her hands.
Their return was not, however; stained by bloodshed, although the Calvinists were reviled in the open street. A few stabs from a dagger or shots from an arquebus might, however, have been better; such wounds heal while mocking words rankle in the memory.
I suppose," he added, with a sort of final throe, "that a Venetian family wouldn't use him with the frank hospitality you've shown, not because they distrusted him at all, perhaps, but because they would be afraid of other Venetian tongues." This ultimate drop of venom, helplessly distilled, did not seem to rankle in Miss Vervain's mind.
She made to leave me now, but I would not let her go without trying the last blunt-pointed arrow in the quiver of expedients. "Stay a moment," I begged. "You are leaving the untangling of this coil you speak of to a chance bullet on a battle-field. Had you ever thought that the Church can undo what the Church has done?" Again I had that bitter laugh which was to rankle afterward in memory.
