"God forgive me if I am doing wrong," exclaimed William Auld to me, "but I am determined, now that I have put my hand to the plough, I shall not turn back." Wednesday came, and we called again. "Andrew," called the minister through the door, "will you relent and talk to Margaret?" "Give me a drink of water," came a husky voice from behind the door.
Thou wilt, I say, admit the truth of this, And half relent that, shrinking from a kiss, Thou didst consign me to mine own disdain, Athwart the raptures of a vision'd bliss. "I'll seek no joy that is not linked with thine, No touch of hope, no taste of holy wine, And after death, no home in any star, That is not shared by thee, supreme, afar As here thou'rt first and foremost of all things!
"Read!" she went on, with grim composure, hitting her on the shoulder "I don't want to! I want to go down-stairs," Lucy sobbed, defiantly "Read!" And once more she hit her. My heart went out to the child, but I dared not intercede again Dora did not relent until Lucy yielded, sobbingly I left the room in disgust. The scene preyed upon my mind all that afternoon.
But meseemeth that the best thing is to treat her gently at the first; and if she relent not, then " The sentence was left unfinished, but Lord Marnell understood it. "There are briars besetting every path, That call for patient care; There is a cross in every lot, And an earnest need for prayer; But a lowly heart that leans on Thee Is happy anywhere." Miss Waring.
When, therefore, Eleanore, true to her heart's generous instincts, closed her lips and refused to speak when speech would have been my ruin, I let her do it, justifying myself with the thought that she had deemed me capable of crime, and so must bear the consequences. Nor, when I saw how dreadful these were likely to prove, did I relent.
But the message came from those who had sealed its truth with the dark red seal; it came from two men who had not been mistaken, of whom either, suspecting a mistake, would have slain the other for the mere accusation; old men not carried away by a fleeting resemblance, by the breath of a word half understood, by suspicion of a glance only half seen; stern, bold men too stern to relent, but far too brave to be moved suddenly to senseless wrath against an innocent woman; proud men, both, who would have denied to each other the possibility of their common shame, so long as denial was humanly possible.
He had thought that his injured friend would relent in his severity when he knew that he had suffered too; that he was in great pain even at this moment. But not a word came from Barney. "I hed laid off ter ax ye ter holp me a little," Nick faltered meekly, making his appeal direct. There was no answer.
Hannah had been cold and stiff, indeed, at the first: latterly she had begun to relent a little; and when she saw me come in tidy and well-dressed, she even smiled. "What, you have got up!" she said. "You are better, then. You may sit you down in my chair on the hearthstone, if you will." She pointed to the rocking-chair: I took it.
M. appeared so perfectly calm, composed, and even kind, and so regardless of sighs and doleful exclamations, that Helen entirely lost her equanimity, and let her tears flow freely and abundantly. Her mother was always moved by her tears, and would not her aunt relent? No. Mrs. M. quietly performed the duties of the table, and ordered the tea-equipage to be removed.
She thought of her father's kindness as she placed his gift to her lips, exclaiming, "Poor, dear papa, how I should like to see him to-night; I love him so fondly. If he knew what I am suffering perhaps he might relent. No doubt he is lonely to-night and wishing to see his 'only little girl, as he lovingly calls me."
