Ah! when you find a fiercely violent temper allied to a stone-cold heart, offer you up an earnest prayer to Him for the safety of the souls coming under the dominion and the power of that woman. I recall one action of Semantha's that goes far, I think, to prove what a brave and loyal heart the untaught German girl possessed.
"I will do whatever you wish, father," said Olivia in much agitation. Coerced she was iron, coaxed she was clay. "I have not been a very good daughter to you, father; after this I will be trying to be better." His face reddened; his heart beat at this capitulation of his rebel: he rose from his chair and took her into his arms an odd display for a man so long stone-cold but to his dreams.
The pretension to dogmatize about them in each other is the root of most human injustices and cruelties, and the trait in human character most likely to make the angels weep. Every Jack sees in his own particular Jill charms and perfections to the enchantment of which we stolid onlookers are stone-cold. And which has the superior view of the absolute truth, he or we?
"If ever I cease to love her then I shall be as stone-cold a man as her fetish of a French knight, the Sieur Amadis! Ah, my little Innocent, in time to come you may understand what love is perhaps to your sorrow! you may need a strong defender and I shall be ready! Sooner or later now or years hence if you call me, I shall answer.
She had taken no part in the general excitement, moved not one foot from where she had been standing from the first. Even when Athalie danced over and hugged her and showed the important fragments; even when she reproved her with a wondering, "Ah, you strange Anglais you stone-cold Anglais!
So would Palford & Grimby before it'd be stone-cold safe to rush things and accuse a man of a penitentiary offense." He took his unconventional half-seat on the edge of the table, with one foot on the floor and the other one lightly swinging. "Palford & Grimby are clever old ducks, and they know that much.
He looked neither to the left nor to the right. His eyes were fixed and yet unseeing, his features were pale and bony. There was no gleam of life, not even in the stone-cold eyes. Like some machine-made man of a new and physically degenerate age, he took his exercise under the eye of his doctor, a strange and miserable-looking object. "There goes Sirdeller," Sogrange whispered.
He had no sooner uttered that one than he discovered with dismay that his soup would soon be stone-cold. Sidonie noticed his movement. "Why, you were just eating your supper, weren't you? Pray go on." "'Dame'! yes, what would you have? It's part of the trade, of the hard existence we fellows have. For you see, my girl, I stand firm. I haven't given up. I never will give up."
It is simply to be white-hot in purpose and stone-cold in self-criticism at the same instant of time. Bar Meredith, who is quite sui generis, and Rudyard Kipling, whose characteristics will be dealt with later on, Hall Caine has less of the mark of his predecessors upon him than any of his contemporaries. His work has grown out of himself.
"Which I never doubted for one moment that he was, ma'am, when I found him," continued Nurse; "he was lying all crumpled up and stone-cold, for all the world like Miss Nancy's dormouse when she forgot to feed it for a week." On this theme Nurse was apt to become very voluble, and there were few things she liked better than describing her own feelings on the occasion.
