I fancied every human being capable of this kind of virtue on a good opportunity, saving, indeed, such base-hearted wretches as can never forgive their very forgivers; and of these I did not suppose him to be one. Let us die, if die we must, like honest and gallant men, so that it shall be said of us it was only our bodies that died.
It may even be said that thrift is only a lesser form of piety, and piety the whole of thrift. For, first and last, goodness lies in the saving and increase of life.

Saving with one man, who was a sergeant of artillery on leave, and who cried out to me in an accent that was very familiar and asked me to drink; but I told him I had to go up into the forest to take advantage of the night, since the days were so warm for walking.
Jarvie would certainly be exposed to, and entreated he would make me the bearer of such modified terms as might be the means of saving their lives.

Jock-at-a-Venture was certainly dashed by this information. "The more reason," said he, obstinately, "for saving her!... And all hers!" The two ministers did not want her to be saved. They liked to think of the theatre as being beyond the pale.
He had protected Carmen with a quiet persistency since her first day in the parish, and had had a saving influence over her.
