You may be mistaken after all, John. Why did you not let him stay till I got back? I should like to have examined him myself." "I was so angry with him for repaying your kindness in such a way that I instantly ordered him out of the house." "I blame you, John, for your haste," said his uncle. "It was not just to the boy." "I acted for the best, sir," he forced himself to say in a subdued tone.
But the conviction that Jap had not the qualities to win material success did not hurt as did the knowledge that he was not too brave to lie, too proud to borrow from those he considered his social inferiors and with no notion of repaying the obligation, nor too honest to obtain money by any subterfuge that occurred to him.
But Pierre answered: "Wherever I've gone there's been luck for me and hell for everyone around me. I lived with a priest, Dick, and left him when I was nearly old enough to begin repaying his care. I came South and found a father and lost him the same day. I gambled for money with which to bury him, and a man died that night and another was hurt. I escaped from the town by riding a horse to death.
He told me he was very sorry for what had happened, and that it was to testify the willingness he had to make all possible reparation that he had appointed this meeting; that he hoped I would not carry things to extremity, which might be not only too great a loss to him, but might be the ruin of his business and shop, in which case I might have the satisfaction of repaying an injury with an injury ten times greater; but that I would then get nothing, whereas he was willing to do me any justice that was in his power, without putting himself or me to the trouble or charge of a suit at law.
You wouldn't be ashamed, or afraid?" "Ashamed or afraid of what?" She cried out happily, and shivered. "I hope we don't have to. He might kill you. Yes, I hope we don't have to. Do you mind?" I shook my head, smiling my response. There were tears in her eyes, repaying me. Our conversation became more fitful.
Informed of all that was transacted in the Emperor's cabinet to his advantage, Wallenstein possessed sufficient self-command to conceal his inward triumph and to assume the mask of indifference. The moment of vengeance was at last come, and his proud heart exulted in the prospect of repaying with interest the injuries of the Emperor.
The profits of manufacturing stock, therefore, are not, like the rent of land, a neat produce which remains after completely repaying the whole expense which must be laid out in order to obtain them. The stock of the farmer yields him a profit, as well as that of the master manufacturer; and it yields a rent likewise to another person, which that of the master manufacturer does not.
"The numbers are a little over my calculation, my lord; but not much." "In any case, you think the figures are high enough?" "That is absolutely certain," I replied. "Good! We owe you both our best thanks." They were simple words, simply spoken, but they went straight to our hearts, amply repaying us for the risks attendant on our night's adventure.
My aunt must be repaying herself on her. 'Then I shall take another cigar, to get the damp out of my throat. 'You wretch, you like to boast of it! 'Ah! you don't know what Percy learnt in Turkey. 'I know he always abominated smoking. 'Perhaps he'll let you think so till you are married. 'For shame, Arthur! That's the way you served your wife.
Prince Tancred bestowed upon his bark the full velocity which wind, and tide, and oar, could enable her to obtain, and placing her in the situation to profit by them as much as his maritime skill could direct, he drove with the speed of lightning among the vessels of Lemnos, plying on either side, bows, crossbows, javelins, and military missiles of every kind, with the greater advantage that the Greeks, trusting to their artificial fire, had omitted arming themselves with other weapons; so that when the valiant Crusader bore down on them with so much fury, repaying the terrors of their fire with a storm of bolts and arrows no less formidable, they began to feel that their own advantage was much less than they had supposed, and that, like most other dangers, the maritime fire of the Greeks, when undauntedly confronted, lost at least one-half of its terrors.
