In the letters he dictates from there he still is concerned only lest those at home shall "worry"; he reassures them with falsehoods, jokes at their fears; of the people he can see from the window of the hospital tells them foolish stories; for a little boy who has been kind he asks them to send him his Chinese postage stamps; he plans a trip he will take with them when he is stronger, knowing he never will be stronger.
But every man has his romance, and this was mine. Unable to reveal Mary's secret, I was compelled reluctantly to take leave of her mother, who accompanied me out to where the dog-cart was in waiting. "I scarcely know, doctor, how to thank you sufficiently," the dear old lady said as I took her hand. "What you have told me reassures me. Of late I have been extremely anxious, as you may imagine."
"Really, Signor Cupid," said Bussy; "it is very cold for that. It will chap your skin." "Monsieur," replied Maugiron, politely, "we have warm gloves, and doublets lined with fur." "Ah! that reassures me," said Bussy; "do you go soon?" "To-night, perhaps." "In that case I must warn the king; what will he say to-morrow, if he finds his friends have caught cold?"
Lakamba approaches his guest, but looks at Babalatchi, who reassures him by a confident nod. Lakamba clumsily attempts a smile, and looking, with natural and ineradicable sulkiness, from under his eyebrows at the man whom he wants to honour, asks whether he would condescend to visit the place of sitting down and take food. Or perhaps he would prefer to give himself up to repose?
What reassures me still more is the curious attitude of Waldemar towards the girl. I could never have believed that an artist could regard a woman so utterly as a mere inanimate thing, a form to copy, like a tree or flower. Truly he carries out his theory that sculpture knows only the body, and the body scarcely considered as human.
Well, to-morrow, at least " "To-day, you mean." "Well! to-day I shall be tranquil." "Why so?" "Because those cursed Angevins will be killed." "You think so, Henri?" "I am sure of it; my friends are brave." "I never heard that the Angevins were cowards." "No, doubtless; but my friends are so strong; look at Schomberg's arm; what muscle!" "Ah! if you saw Autragues's! Is that all that reassures you?"
"Oh, Nelson, how can you say such a thing, when you came to get him!" exclaimed his sister. "I recommended him because I thought he had none," Langmaid declared. "He'll be a bishop some day every one says so," said Mrs. Whitely, indignantly. "That reassures me," said her brother. "I can't see why they sent you you hardly ever go to church," she cried.
It remains with you to decide if the little game is worth the candle. The delightful common sense I feel quite sure you possess reassures me as to your answer. Take gayly such good things as may float your way, and profit by them while they last. Wander off into all the cross-roads that tempt you. Stop often to lend a helping hand to a less fortunate traveller.
I give you my word that you will find the cardinal where you leave him." "This reassures me more than all the royal signatures," thought D'Artagnan. "Now that I have the word of Athos I can set out." D'Artagnan started alone on his journey, without other escort than his sword, and with a simple passport from Mazarin to secure his admission to the queen's presence.
"There is evil in the wind." "There is no wind stirring." "A witch-wind came slyly while you slept. Did you not dream, Loskiel?" In spite of me I shivered again. "That is foolishness," said I. "The Wyandotte's silly talk has made us wakeful. Our sentinels watch. Sleep, Mayaro." "Have you need of sleep, Loskiel?" "I? No. Sleep you, then, and I will sit awake if it reassures you."
