A certain hardness in her disposition, even as a child, had prevented her winding into the hearts of those around her. Deprived of her mother's care having little or no intercourse with children of her own age brought up with a starched governess, or female relations, poor and proud she never had contracted the softness of manner which the reciprocation of household affections usually produces.
So soon as he returned to Philadelphia, in which place he had lately opened a law-office, he wrote to Mabel, declaring his affection for her, and suing for reciprocation. She granted him a gracious reply, and sanctioned by fond, sympathetic Aunt Rachel, in the absence of Mabel's brother and guardian, the correspondence was kept up briskly until Frederic's second visit in September.
It was probably the beauty and tender reciprocation of Giulietta that inspired Beethoven to write to Wegeler in 1801: "Life has been a little brighter to me of late, since I have mingled more with my fellows. I think you can have no idea, how sad, how intensely desolate, my life has been during the last two years.
Let the disloyal families of the country, thus stripped, go to their husbands, fathers, and natural protectors, in the rebel ranks; we have tried three years of conciliation and kindness without any reciprocation; on the contrary, those thus treated have acted as spies and guerrillas in our rear and within our lines.
He was still reckless, even argumentative; the crying need of her still obsessed him. "Why not? Why should I not take you in my arms? If there is a moment of happiness to be had in this grind of work and loneliness " "It has not made me happy." Perhaps nothing else she could have said would have been so effectual. Love demands reciprocation; he could read no passion in her voice.
In response to the deacon's hearty, and, I may say, somewhat uproarious greeting, the kitchen door timidly opened, and Miranda, who had been astir for nearly an hour and had the table already laid for breakfast, stepped into view, and, with a smile on her face that actually broadened its thinness dangerously near to the proportions of a genial and happy reciprocation of the jovial greeting, dropped a courtesy, and said: "Thank you, Deacon Tubman, I hope you may have many happy returns."
"What do you mean?" inquired Unorna, with sudden coldness. "Oh, nothing so serious as you seem to think. I was only wondering whether a suggestion of reciprocation might not have been wise." She faced him fiercely. "Hold your peace, Keyork Arabian!" she cried. "Why?" he asked with a bland smile, swinging his little legs and stroking his long beard. "There is a limit!
Was love always like that? If it was what He intended, why was it so often without reciprocation? He took to walking about the room, according to his old habit, and obediently Jinx followed him. It was four by his alarm clock when Edith knocked at his door. She was in a wrapper flung over her nightgown, and with her hair flying loose she looked childish and very small.
Where all, and with equal and simultaneous impulse, strives to move, nothing can move, but chaos is come; where all refuses to move, and therefore stagnates, decay supervenes, which is motion, though a motion downward. Having made this general statement, we proceed to say that there are two chief ways in which these universal opposites enter into reciprocation.
She saw in either as around only a reciprocation of contempt. She was in a web of profound abasement. Even that haughty grief of conscience for crime committed to another, which if it stings humbles not, was swallowed up in a far more agonizing sensation, to one so vain as the adulteress, the burning sense of shame at having herself, while sinning, been the duped and deceived.
