When the parents of the girl forbade her playing with the boy, reminding her of the difference in their station, and she came by stealth to bid the old man and her playmate Girolamo good-by, the pride in the boy's heart flamed up: he clenched his fist and feeling spent itself in tears. When he looked up the girl was gone they were never to meet again.
The words they said were few; but they stood round him reminding him of all that had been, and of what must be, and of many things which were known but to God and him alone, and calling upon him yet once more before time should come to an end and life be lost. But the sound of their voices in his ear was but as some great strain of music which he had heard many times and knew and heeded not.
Proud to see my husband defending the poor and the oppressed proud to see him honoured and looked up to, more and more every year, till " "Till it may come at last to the prophecy in your birthday verse 'Her husband is known in the gates; he sitteth among the elders of the land." Mrs. Halifax laughed at me for reminding her of this, but allowed that she would not dislike its being fulfilled.
Indeed if Malison had killed him outright, he would have been rather pleased than otherwise. But he was in the habit of reminding the widow of his existence by all occasional call, especially when the time approached for the half-yearly payment of the interest. "Weel, mem, hoo are ye the day?" said he, as he entered, rubbing his hands. "Quite well, thank you, Mr Bruce. Take a seat."
The count resolved to go in person to the governor, and reminding him that he had ever been loyal, to claim exemption from the tyrannical law. He went, but was haughtily told that rich and poor must be treated alike, and that no exception would be made in his favour. Should he not deliver up all the Bibles in his house, he must be prepared for the consequences.
He soon quitted the college, entered the army as a volunteer, and was one of a corps reviewed by Bonaparte, in the plain of Sablons. He was pointed out to the First Consul, who said to him. "I knew your father. Follow his example, and in six months you shall be an officer." Six months elapsed, and Miackzinski wrote to the First Consul, reminding him of his promise.
He himself had always known his mind, and had let others know it, too; reminding his wife that she was an impracticable woman, who knew not her own mind; and devoting his lawful gains to securing the future of his progeny. It would have disturbed him if he had lived to see his grand-daughters and their times.
She thought that by reminding Wiggins of the existence of this powerful relative, and by threatening an instant appeal to him, she would be able to terrify him into releasing Edith. But his cool answer destroyed this hope.
Of course, I made as light as possible of any little service I might have done them, protesting in my turn, that I looked upon the whole affair more in the light of a party of pleasure than a tax, reminding them that I had not only obtained an insight into a new philosophy, but that I was already, thanks to the decimal system, a tolerable proficient in their ancient and learned language.
'I'm sure you'll excuse me, sir, said Mrs Varden, rising and curtseying. 'Varden is so very thoughtless, and needs so much reminding Sim, bring a chair here. Mr Tappertit obeyed, with a flourish implying that he did so, under protest. 'And you can go, Sim, said the locksmith.
