The two young men concerned, Bidlake and Fairfax, were both guests of mine recently at my country house. They had discovered for one another a very fierce and reasonable antipathy. With that recurrence to primitivism with which I have always been a hearty sympathiser, they agreed, instead of going round their little world making sneering remarks about each other, to fight it out."
Subsequently, however, a sympathiser explained to him delicately the true meaning of the question, and, as a counter-move, Lord Cranston made a violent attack upon 'Empire building plus finance. He drew distinctions between governing men and making money.
Young graduates left the Universities to throw themselves at the feet of the new Gamaliel; students of law and medicine neglected their professional studies to dream of "the renovation of society and the march of mind." The most famous of his disciples were the poets Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey, and afterwards Shelley. Wordsworth had been an ardent sympathiser with the French Revolution.
The Republican party, headed by Colonel Fremont, who was known to be an anti-slavery man, nearly carried the presidential election six years ago, and then every preparation had been made in the South for the process of secession, which was only averted by the election of Mr. Buchanan, a pro-slavery Southern sympathiser, though born in Pennsylvania.
Gardiner and Bonner, Bishop of London, stood firm in defence of Catholic doctrine, and once or twice it seemed as if they were about to succeed in displacing Cranmer from the favour of the king; but the danger of an attack from the united forces of France and the Emperor, especially after the peace of Crépy had been concluded , made it necessary for Henry not to close the door against an alliance with the Protestant princes of Germany by an attack on Cranmer, who was regarded by them as an active sympathiser.
The only thing she did well, was what she did out of unconscious piety, the silent comforting and consoling of her father. Not a mood of his but what found a ready sympathiser in Margaret; not a wish of his that she did not strive to forecast, and to fulfil. They were quiet wishes to be sure, and hardly named without hesitation and apology.
She handed the muddy box to the nearest sympathiser, sat down on the fur-covered bed, and wiped her eyes. "Any idea?" "I weighed it all over again after I got in from the Gold Nugget the night we went on the stampede." As she sobbed out the list of her former possessions, Judge Corey took it down on the back of a dirty envelope.
Miss Tullis conducted the negotiations, making the best of her year's acquaintance with the language of the country. "Don't tell him why we are in such a hurry," cautioned King. "He may be a Marlanx sympathiser." "You have nothing in your cart but melons," she said to the farmer, peeping under the corner of the canvas covering.
He could not be either a successful or a disappointed sympathiser, because he could not himself be a candidate. The affair which perhaps disgusted him more than anything else was the offer of an office, not in the Cabinet, indeed, but one supposed to confer high dignity, to Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy refused the offer, and this somewhat lessened Finn's disgust, but the offer itself made him unhappy.
She had been taught to regard Mary as the tender human sympathiser, and to look upon Christ in one of two lights either as the helpless Infant in the arms of the mother, or as the stern Judge who required to be softened by Mary's merciful intercession. But the one gush of confidence over, she was doubly shy. She shrank from clothing her vague thoughts with precise and distinct language.
