"I didn't; I knew I only had to wait and you would give yourself away," said the girl. "Did he make you walk home?" said the father. "That's the reason your hands are so cold." "They're not very cold now; and if they were, I shouldn't mind it in such a cause." "What cause?" "Oh the general shamefulness of disusing the feet God had given me. But it was only three blocks, and I had my arctics."
Ay, Mother! Mother! What is this Man, thy darling kissed and cuffed, Thou lustingly engender'st, To sweat, and make his brag, and rot, Crowned with all honour and all shamefulness? From nightly towers He dogs the secret footsteps of the heavens, Sifts in his hands the stars, weighs them as gold-dust, And yet is he successive unto nothing But patrimony of a little mould, And entail of four planks.
"I wouldn't allow my mother to treat a stranger like that," she thought indignantly, as she walked away after Mrs. White's inhospitable invitation to tea. "I wouldn't allow her. I would make her see the shamefulness of it. What a weak man Mr. White must be!"
Keep away if you wish; when have I ever followed you? But, if you come to me, I'll do as I see fit. The shamefulness of your asking me to do that! If you come to me, I'll do as I see fit. Do you understand? Bartley, you're cowardly!" Alexander rose and shook himself angrily. "Yes, I know I'm cowardly. I'm afraid of myself. I don't trust myself any more.
It was hard. What comfort could she give him? He was in sore need of it. "Bear with me for just a little, Peggy," he said. "It hath eaten into my heart the manner of this death. I have talked bravely all these long, weary days of waiting, but oh! if they would just shoot me! The shamefulness of a gallows!" "Don't!" she cried suddenly. "I I cannot bear it." The boy pulled himself together sharply.
Dipping a finger-tip into a pool of spilt wine he wrote on the table reflectively, and as La Mothe watched his leering face he understood Commines' outspoken contempt of this old man unashamed of his shamefulness. "Peaches," he said, scratching his chin with a wet forefinger; "my faith! yes! I have climbed walls for them, robbed gardens of them, found them in market baskets the gutter even.
Dale knew, and he alone; and very sorry he was, for the intimacy between Hugh and him had grown very close indeed since Saturday. The master was considerate towards the younger boys. He made Lamb tell the whole. When the whole story was extracted, in all its shamefulness, from Lamb's own lips, the master expressed his disgust.
In persons of a delicate sensibility who have long been habituated to gentle manners, the sense of the shamefulness of manual labour may become so strong that, at a critical juncture, it will even set aside the instinct of self-preservation.
I told you there was fire in my sentence. And though it is only after death that my body is to be burnt, it will always be a terrible disgrace on my memory. I am saved the pain of being burnt alive, and thus, perhaps, saved from a death of despair, but the shamefulness is the same, and it is that I think of."
I argued with him, and tried to convince him of the shamefulness of such a course of action. He only sneered. "I cannot work," was all he would reply. He did not get much by his begging. My health at that time began to give way. Every day the journey seemed to grow more trying. Every day our relations toward each other grew more strained.
