A consideration of the lowliness necessitating this restraint at a moment when loudly to denounce another's infamy with triumphant insight would have solaced and supported her, kept Rosamund dumb. She could not bear to think of her part in the mischief. She was not bound to think of it, knowing actually nothing of the occurrence. Still she felt that she was on her trial.
I could never make them an adequate return for their kindness; but I am solaced by my recollection that I was able to comfort such staunch old friends when they were passing into the darkness of death haply to find, beyond, some fair dawn brighter than any we had together seen from the hills around my home.
After the death of his wife he arranged a marriage between his son and the daughter of Æmilius Paulus, who was the sister of Scipio. He himself meanwhile solaced himself by an intrigue with a maid-servant who visited him by stealth.
His passion subsided, and he felt suddenly solaced. "What a good little girl!" he thought, sincerely touched by such frank, simple modesty. Proud of her reply, and gratified by his silent approval, Sina smiled at him, as they returned to the entrance of the cavern. Meanwhile she kept wondering why his question had not seemed offensive or shameful to her, but, on the contrary, quite agreeable.
Barbara was pensive. "I think mine must be worse than yours; I don't want it cu-ured." "Well, I didn't mean cured, either; I only meant solaced."

When we awoke it was after the first dawn, and we were come aland even where thou didst this morning, guest. And thou mayst deem it wondrous, but so it was, that close to where our boat took land lay the ferry which brought thee hither. Now the carline bade us get ashore, and we did so, and found the land wondrous fair, little as that solaced us then.
She went on cleaning, and that silver had never been cleaned as she cleaned it then. She cleaned it with every attribute of herself, forgetting her fatigue. The tears dried on her cheek.

Ralph Waring, thus deprived of his rightful partner, solaced himself with Mrs. Randal, who was always easy to please; and the major on her other side relapsed into bearish gloom. It was with unspeakable relief that Anne rose at length from that dinner-table. She had a deep longing to escape altogether, to go back to the quiet Manor, where at least all was peace.
