You are Cynthia West!" "Cynthia Janet Westwood, known at St. Elizabeth's as Janie Wood." "You you are Westwood's child?" She silently bowed her head. "Oh, Cynthia, Cynthia, if you had but told me before!" He sank down into his chair again, burying his face in his hands with his elbows on his knees. There was a look of self-abasement, of shame and sorrow in his attitude inexplicable to Cynthia.
It is Block, who left an hour or more ago." "Block? Then something has happened he has some special information, some great news! Shall we see him, M. le Juge?" When Block appeared, it was evident that something had gone wrong with him. His face wore a look of hot, flurried excitement, and his manner was one of abject, cringing self-abasement. "What is it?" asked the little Chief, sharply.
Once he had fought a mad dog with no weapon but a clasp-knife, and kept the creature from biting Inza, and once he had saved her from death beneath the wheels of the afternoon express, which flew through Fardale village without stopping. Coming across this medal where he kept it choicely deposited, it suddenly brought to him an overwhelming feeling of self-abasement and shame.
Hill saw his mistake; begged that no further evidence might be taken; and, at the next sitting of the House, withdrew his charge in unqualified terms of self-abasement and remorse.
I said, in a low voice. There was no response. "Maude let me in! I didn't mean to be unkind I'm sorry." After an interval I heard her say: "I'd rather stay here, to-night." But at length, after more entreaty and self-abasement on my part, she opened the door. The room was dark.
"Only observe," continued he, "what divine sentiments, what holy precepts, what devout ejaculations, what strokes of self-abasement, what flights of gratitude, what transports of praise, what touches of penitential sorrow, are found comprised in some one short sentence woven into almost every part of the historical Scriptures!
The Assembly, however, were satisfied with the humiliation to which the Doctor had been subjected, and would not compel him to further self-abasement. Mr. Fothergill held the office barely three years, when he was dismissed for voting with the Opposition in the Assembly against the Government.
"Listen!" he said under his breath to Rogers. "I think they must have the goods on Mister Wisenheimer at last. Usually he's the cockiest person round this building. Now take a look at him." Indeed, there was a visible air of self-abasement about Lieutenant Weil as he crossed the wide chamber.
Was it not because that sin was contrary to the main direction of his life, and because he had struggled to his feet again, and with tears and self-abasement, yet with unconquerable desire and hope, 'pressed toward the mark for the prize of his high calling'? David in the Old Testament and Peter in the New bid us be of good cheer, and warn us against the too common error of thinking that goodness means perfection.
That fervent emotion akin to the passion of love rather than to intellectual or moral conviction finds voice through singers of a very different tone. It is fed by an inward anguish, and felicity which, to those who have not felt them, seem as causeless as a lover's moods; by wrestlings not with flesh and blood; by nights of despairing self-abasement; by ecstasies of an incommunicable peace.
