The true young soul, suddenly and tragically severed from the anticipation of womanly happiness, turned gladly to visions of saintly joy simply and without affectation of form or show purely and without earthly regret humbly and without touch of taint from spiritual pride.
His hat was pulled low over his eyes and the collar of his coat was turned up in spite of the mildness of the day. He nodded to the boy and girl as he went past them and on into the house. "Again!" said Mrs. Lorimer, tragically. "That's the second time this week!" "Rough on the kid," said her husband. "See him now."
Rectitude of will, and to understand the appearances of things." "Well, Hartman, if you had two or three kids, as I have, you'd see things differently. They would give you an interest in life." "A tragically solemn one, no doubt. That responsibility at least can't be forced on a man. He can let his part of the curse die out with him." "Jim, you are selfish.
Why should you take it so tragically?" "I do not know, but now" His head moved, his lips trembled. "But now she is the daughter of John Gladney's wife. She is loved and cared for by people who are better, infinitely better, than her father and mother were or could be. She believes her father is dead. And he is dead!" "My child! My child!" he whispered brokenly over the photograph.
The situation was too blatant, too raw, too near bedrock, too naked and unashamed, for me to take refuge in platitudinous generalities of excuse. The bravest of men know Fear. They know him pretty intimately. But they manage to kick him to Hades by the very reason of their being brave men. I had to take Leonard Boyce as I found him.

Her mother had died when she was very young, and she had grown up with only her father for a companion. Judge Dupree was one of the rich men of the neighbourhood, and he lavished everything upon his daughter; but people had said that Lucy would suffer for the lack of a woman's care, and the prophecy had been tragically fulfilled.
Even before the lowest of all tribunals, before a court of law, whose business it is, not to keep men right, or within a thousand miles of right, but to withhold them from going so tragically wrong that they will pull down the whole jointed fabric of society by their misdeeds even before a court of law, as we begin to see in these last days, our easy view of following at each other's tails, alike to good and evil, is beginning to be reproved and punished, and declared no honesty at all, but open theft and swindling; and simpletons who have gone on through life with a quiet conscience may learn suddenly, from the lips of a judge, that the custom of the trade may be a custom of the devil.
Great uproar and confusion prevailed the whole of this day throughout the town occasioned by an adventure of the doctor with the duke's most favourite wife, which is likely to end tragically to the parties concerned.
Was Huxley right, and was all humanity, even as Mr. Britling, a careless, fitful thing, playing a tragically hopeless game, thinking too slightly, moving too quickly, against a relentless antagonist? Or is the whole thing just witless, accidentally cruel perhaps, but not malignant? Or is it wise, and merely refusing to pamper us?
He put himself at their head, crying, "Avanti!" "He has not stopped very long with us. There is no praise from strangers to be got here," Signora Teresa said tragically. "Avanti! Yes! That is all he cares for. To be first somewhere somehow to be first with these English. They will be showing him to everybody. 'This is our Nostromo!" She laughed ominously. "What a name! What is that? Nostromo?
