He had the self-command to abstain from any extraordinary expressions of gratitude, but took it kindly, as a matter of course. "Dear Grace," said he to her, the last evening before he left home, "I am changed; we both are altered since we first knew each other; and now I am going to be gone a long time, but I am sure " He stopped to arrange his thoughts.
But Dante describes three moral instruments Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell, the vision of perfection, the vision of improvement, and the vision of failure. Ibsen has only one Hell. It is often said, and with perfect truth, that no one could read a play like GHOSTS and remain indifferent to the necessity of an ethical self-command.
The sound of her voice recalled him to himself. Settling back in his saddle, he abruptly turned his horse, and went off a little way, struggling to regain his self-command. Mabyn, misunderstanding, was vastly lifted up by this word of Natalie's, and the writhing ego within hastened to repair the horrid breach Garth had made. He approached her, hidden by her horse from Garth.
"Why you woman?" demanded Nick, fiercely. "Save all 'e scalp!" This strange interruption failed to produce any effect. First Beekman yielded; Maud and Willoughby followed; until Mr. Woods, himself, unable to resist the double assaults of the power of sympathy and his own affection, closed the book and wept like a child. It required minutes for the mourners to recover their self-command.
His eyes are naturally rather light in colour, but agitation or anger gives them a darker and more fiery glance; he has a custom also of drawing in his lips when much moved, which implies a combat between native ardour of temper and the habitual power of self-command.

He replied as soon as he could regain self-command, 'I am glad Bob is in the navy at last he is so much more fitted for that than the merchant-service so brave by nature, ready for any daring deed.
With an effort at self-command, Doctor Grimes regained, to some extent, his lost composure, and rising, remarked, as he partly turned himself away "Forgive this intrusion, sir. I ought to have been more on my guard." But an interest having been awakened in the mind of Mr. L , he would not suffer his visitor to retire until he held some conversation with him.
He watched the minutest proceeding of the investigation with a steadiness that was the result of severe practice in self-command, and a jealous determination to suffer no new wrong to be accumulated on the head of his father. When the little confusion produced by the entrance of the party from the refectory had subsided, the Prior made a signal to one of the officers of justice.
Her rule from the outset had been as hard as might have been expected from one who prided herself on her self-command a quality that covered everybody, including my mother and me, and was only subject to softening in favour of her own offspring.
