Nefert glanced anxiously at the chamberlain, and the ladies in waiting who had entered the room with her, and Bent-Anat understood the look; she requested her attendants to withdraw, and when she was alone with her sad little friend "Speak now," she said. "What saddens your heart? how comes this melancholy expression on your dear baby face?
The stroke of death makes a wider space in the village circle, and is an awful event in the tranquil uniformity of rural life. The passing bell tolls its knell in every ear; it steals with its pervading melancholy over hill and vale, and saddens all the landscape.
The pangs, the cares, the weary toils it cost Leave not a trace when once the work is done The Artist's human frailty merged and lost In art's great victory won! If human sin confronts the rigid law Of perfect truth and virtue , awe Seizes and saddens thee to see how far Beyond thy reach, perfection; if we test By the ideal of the good, the best, How mean our efforts and our actions are!

In refusing such an offer you could not have better reasons than those you give, and it would be absurd to try and persuade him that we are not lovers, as the thing is self-evident. Nevertheless, my darling, the letter saddens me." "Why, dearest?" "Because I have not a hundred thousand francs to offer you."

The humor of Mrs. Poyser and the wit of Mrs. Transome only deepen the pathos by relieving it. There is hardly a sarcasm in these books but has its pensive undertone.
Why are not you our sole ambition? What resentment may we not justly feel that we have to make our cries of indignation heard above our bursts of joy, our formidable secrets in the asylum of love, and our oaths of war and death amid the intoxication of and of life!" "Curses on him who saddens the youth of a people!
"I know that, Fan," she replied, "and should be very sorry to question you about such matters. It saddens me to think that your childhood was unhappy, and if I could help you to forget that period of your life I would gladly do so. The question I should have to ask would be about something recent. Can you not guess what it is?" "No, Miss Churton at least I don't think I can. Will you not tell me?"
The innkeeper, who was also a peasant-farmer, possessed the doubtful blessing of a mind that rose above what the logic of his existence, sternly bound to a plot of grudging soil and the petty needs of still poorer neighbours, demanded of it. He was blessed or afflicted with that hunger of knowledge and refinement which lifts and casts down, rejoices and saddens.
"Do you mean to say," persisted Fillmore, "that Carmyle proposed to you and you turned him down?" Sally flushed. "I don't think it's particularly nice to talk about that sort of thing, but yes." A feeling of desolation overcame Fillmore. That conviction, which saddens us at all times, of the wilful bone-headedness of our fellows swept coldly upon him.
