That ambition explained everything, his quarrels and reconciliations with the reigning pope, his affection for Germany, followed by a sudden evolution in the direction of France, his varying attitude with regard to Italy, at first a desire for agreement, and then absolute rejection of all compromises, a refusal to grant any concession, so long as Rome should not be evacuated.
Our heroine, in the present instance, illustrates this truth to admiration: her life and her husband's had now become a perpetual scene of disputes and reproaches; every day the quarrels grew more bitter, and the reconciliations less sweet. One morning, Griselda and her husband were present whilst Emma was busy showing some poor children how to plait straw for hats.
Her motto was, 'What's yours is mine, but what's mine's my own. The difference was accentuated. Long mutual resistances were followed by reconciliations, which grew more and more transitory, and at length both recognised that the union, not founded on genuine affection, had been a mistake. This name is pronounced with the accent on the first syllable in the Five Towns.
We find at a later period, that Philip, in the course of one of the nominal reconciliations which took place several times between the monarch and William of Orange, wrote that, his head cook being dead, he begged the Prince to "make him a present of his chief cook, Master Herman, who was understood to be very skilful." In this hospitable mansion, the feasting continued night and day.
This was on the 16th January and for seven "solid" weeks from then we were out of sight of land. This time was redeemed from monotony by tournaments of chess and whist, which filled up the evenings. There were frequent small quarrels, with reconciliations more or less sincere, which also afforded distraction. After one the captain let off a rocket, also one of Holmes's patent "flare-ups."
The Delphian oracle, however, interposes in time by declaring the identity of Sephestia, and the story terminates as usual in weddings and reconciliations. The conventional shepherd's life is well described in the "Arcadia," and the pastoral tone is skilfully maintained.
After one of the many quarrels and reconciliations between these fierce brethren, there was an exchange of hostages for the observance of the terms of the treaty.
The same probation department which furnished the stories of hasty and unsuccessful reconciliations, contributes this remarkable account of the restoration of a family through slow and careful character rebuilding: George Latham had shamefully neglected his wife and children for several years. He drank to excess, gambled considerably, and associated with women of loose character.
This must depend upon you more than upon myself." "I know it, my dear," said Mrs. Somers. "Be satisfied I will not wear out your affections. You have dealt fairly with me. I love you for having the courage to speak as you think. But now that it is all over, I must tell you what it was that displeased me for I hate half reconciliations: I will tell you all that passed in my mind."
But this mass of character could never have been presented to us without a corresponding variety of incident; and, indeed, the tragedy is packed with an endless succession of incidents battles, intrigues, marriages, divorces, treacheries, reconciliations, deaths. The complicated action stretches over a long period of time and over a huge tract of space.
