I remember that he thought he did not care for the work of Bayard Taylor, but he confessed one day with sly ruefulness that he had taken up the last "Atlantic" by chance, and found there some noble hexameters upon "November;" and "I said to myself, 'Ah! who is this? this is as good as Clough. When to my astonishment, and not a little to my discomfiture, I discovered they were Bayard Taylor's!
He managed to laugh, though with some ruefulness, and continued stammeringly: "I want to tell you how much I like him how much I admire him " "Admire whom?" she asked, a little coldly, for she knew. "Mr. Ladew." "So do I," she answered, looking straight ahead. "That is one reason why I wanted you to come with me to-day." "It isn't only that.
'Ah, you have told me that already! Lyon exclaimed, with exaggerated ruefulness. 'Then why do you ask me again? She added in a moment, as if she were so happy that she could afford to take pity on him, 'He is everything that's good and kind. He's a soldier and a gentleman and a dear! He hasn't a fault.

"Fawns is all there for you, of course to the end of my tenure. But Fawns so dismantled," he added with mild ruefulness, "Fawns with half its contents, and half its best things, removed, won't seem to you, I'm afraid, particularly lively."

They could not conceal a disingenuous thought among them the delightful giant, the boy with the eyelashes, the radiant girl, and the old black man put together." In the meantime Judge Rutherford did his honest best. He had been too sanguine not to do it with some ruefulness after the first few months. During the passage of these few months many of his ingenuous ideals had been overthrown.
Not that I presumed you'd ever lost a limb but there's lots of other things folks can lose that hurts as much; things that can be hauled out by the roots, like; things that don't never leave people quite the same afterwards."
