"I hope your Majesty believes, that the sharp chastisement I have received from the best natured and most bountiful master in the world, and whose kindness alone made my condition these many years supportable, hath enough mortified me as to this world; and that I have not the presumption or the madness to imagine or desire ever to be admitted to any employment or trust again.
"Eat this fig for my sake," said he to Chain of Hearts, who sat on his right hand; "and render the fetters, with which you loaded me the first moment I saw you, more supportable." Then, presenting a bunch of grapes to Soul's Torment, "Take this cluster of grapes," said he, "on condition you instantly abate the torments which I suffer for your sake;" and so on to the rest.
And puncheons of rum from Jamaica and the Indies for his people, holding that no gentleman ever drank rum in the raw, though fairly supportable as punch. Mr. Carvel's house stands in Marlborough Street, a dreary mansion enough. Praised be Heaven that those who inherit it are not obliged to live there on the memory of what was in days gone by.
Give to me no condescension with any such view, preserve your indifference, persevere in your coldness, triumph still in your power of inspiring those feelings you can never return, all, every thing is more supportable than to talk of our separation!" "Yet how," cried she, "parted, torn asunder as we have been, how is it now to be avoided?" "Trust in my honour!
Trevelyan was living with her husband in the cottage at Twickenham. Her life was dreary enough, and there was but very little of hope in it to make its dreariness supportable. As often happens in periods of sickness, the single friend who could now be of service to the one or to the other was the doctor.
Be not elated over excellences not your own. If a horse should be elated and say, "I am handsome," it would be supportable. But when you are elated and say, "I have a handsome horse," know that you are elated on what is, in fact, only the good of the horse. Require not things to happen as you wish, but wish them to happen as they do happen. Then all will go well.
You place the wreath to consecrate me to an inconsolably unhappy life with the man that I hate and despise!" "My dear child, I know that you think so to-day; but you will soon change, and find that wealth is a supportable misfortune." "Mother, one day you will recall these words. Crown me for the hated bridal. The sacrifice is prepared!"
She had no child to connect her with life and happiness again, no relations to assist in the arrangement of perplexed affairs, no health to make all the rest supportable.
The terms offered were very high: the strict incognito to be preserved would secure me from any charge of inconsistency, and coming as it did when my regular source of income was suddenly closed, and when the idea of being burdensome to my generous brother with his increasing family was hardly supportable, it was thought I could not demur.
She did not always confine herself to these friendly exhortations, and, in case of need, did not spare me more severe reproaches, which I had richly deserved. I spared myself still less: the moment I was alone I began to recover; I was more calm after my declaration love, known to the person by whom it is inspired, becomes more supportable.
