And as he sat down, and prepared to state his business, there suddenly came over this kindly American a curious feeling of misgiving, of self-rebuke. Had he remained at home in Washington, content with all his familiar duties and pleasures, he would never have been brought into this association with a strange, unpleasant life-story.
During the dinner, almost everything, every look, tone, gesture, attitude, that was expressive of Ruby, confirmed him in self-rebuke. She was certainly changed.
This was conquered by the strong will and self-rebuke for having merely craved for applause, but, in the play-ground, he found himself still alone-the other boys who had been raised by his fall shrank from intercourse with one whom they had injured by their silence, and the Andersons, who were wont to say the Mays carried every tale home, and who still almost expected interference from Dr.
"Do you mean you know how it is I am on this train?" "Yes, I know it all." "O my soul! Have I betrayed it?" "No, sir; the train conductor I led him on told us all about it before we were twenty miles from Suez." "I ought to have guessed you'd find it out," said John, in a tone of self-rebuke. "Yes," she replied, driving back her tears with a quiet smile, "I think you ought."
He strove to tear himself away from the noxious siren that had bewitched him. He had looked for rapturous joy in loving this lovely creature, and he already found that he met with little but disappointment and self-rebuke. He had come across the fruits of the Dead Sea, so sweet and delicious to the eye, so bitter and nauseous to the taste.
The mental question arrested the footsteps of Miss Loring, ere she had proceeded five paces from the door of her chamber. "Is not what imprudent?" was answered back in her thoughts. "What folly is this!" she said, in self-rebuke, and passed onward. "Miss Loring!" There was too much feeling in Hendrickson's manner. But its repression, under the circumstances, was impossible. "Mr. Hendrickson!"
Oh, I hope I should be able to get the people well housed in Lowick! I will draw plenty of plans while I have time." Dorothea checked herself suddenly with self-rebuke for the presumptuous way in which she was reckoning on uncertain events, but she was spared any inward effort to change the direction of her thoughts by the appearance of a cantering horseman round a turning of the road.
No man has a right to punish another. Vengeance belongs to a higher region, and the vengeance of God is a very different thing from the vengeance of man. However it may be softened with the name of retribution, revenge runs into all our notions of justice; and until we love purely, so it must ever be. All I had gained was self-rebuke, and another enemy.
Feeling as she now felt, walking back through the heat would be intolerable. For the first time Lacville became utterly distasteful to Sylvia Bailey. She asked herself, with a kind of surprise, of self-rebuke, why she was there away from her own country and her own people?
The hours between luncheon and tea are confessedly dull, but dulness is not inimical to a certain kind of comfort, and Helen liked to be that way comfortable. Nor had she ever yet been aware of self-rebuke because of the liking. Let us see what kind and degree of comfort she had in the course of an hour and a half attained.
