He never preached to us, nor indeed would he talk freely of his "experiences" amongst such Calvinists as my grandfather and grandmother. "The gold of the kingdom doth not need the refiner's art!" he had said once when this remissness was made a reproach to him. Since the loss of his boat, the Tabernacle, he had bought first one donkey and then two with his little savings.
Through her remissness the ball dress was unfinished, and the girl, springing to her feet, turned intuitively to the sewing-machine, when the ringing laugh of Katherine dissolved the fog. "Why, you poor girl, what's the matter with you? Are you sitting down to drudgery again? You've forgotten the fortune!" "Are are you back already?" cried Dorothy, somewhat wildly. "Already!
Obviously the best amends that I could make for this remissness was to go and look at it without another moment's delay. So altogether as a matter of duty I gave up the magnificent chapter for another day, and sauntered out with my hands in my pockets. All the houses and lodgings ever let to visitors, were to let that morning. It seemed to have snowed bills with To Let upon them.
The high estimation in which many of their fruit-trees are held by the Tahitians and Imeeose their beauty in the landscape their manifold uses, and the facility with which they are propagated, are considerations which render the remissness alluded to still more unaccountable. The cocoa-palm is as an example; a tree by far the most important production of Nature in the Tropics.
The responsibility was thrown on several minor officials, and on the border-tribes or savages. Several of the latter were seized, and their lives were offered as atonement for an offense they had not committed. The furthest act of concession which the Chinese commissioner gave was to temporarily suspend Tsen Yuying the Futai for remissness; but even this measure was never enforced with rigor.
The winter of the Big Snow an epidemic of pneumonia carried off the Indians with scarcely a warning; from the lake northward to the lava flats they died in the sweathouses, and under the hands of the medicine-men. Even the drugs of the white physician had no power. After two weeks of this plague the Paiutes drew to council to consider the remissness of their medicine-men.
At the same time I had a sort of conviction that it wasn't so unfortunate a remissness on my part as it would have been for some less qualified by nature to take care of themselves. I discovered the school-house at the end of the lane.
Abasing themselves, they tore their mantles and howled; and God, piteous of their howlings, was constrained to say: "Bring me the prayers of these people and I will forget your remissness." The Prophets ran hither and thither, wailing: "Woe. Woe. Woe." Sore that they behaved with such scant respect, Paul herded them into the Council Room.
Grandmother murmured something in embarrassment, but the Bohemian woman laughed scornfully, a kind of whinny-laugh, and catching up an empty coffee-pot from the shelf, shook it at us with a look positively vindictive. Grandmother went on talking in her polite Virginia way, not admitting their stark need or her own remissness, until Jake arrived with the hamper, as if in direct answer to Mrs.
He looked up from his cooking and said: "Oh, you're back, Susan," and returned to the pan of buffalo tallow. This was a strange remissness in the slave and she was piqued. Contrary to precedent it was her father who helped her off. She slid into his arms laughing, trying to kiss him as she slipped down, then standing with her hands on his shoulders told him of her ride.
