The malign influences appeased, the average Chinese goes his way untroubled or unconsoled by any thought concerning that which is to come, or at most he strives to acquire merit, not for a week only, but for the whole year, by some pilgrimage much more strenuous than church-going.
A single passage must suffice to illustrate the style of the "Legend of Good Women"; and it shall be the lament of Ariadne, the concluding passage of the story which is the typical tale of desertion, though not, as it remains in Chaucer, of desertion unconsoled. It will be seen how far the English poet's vivacity is from being extinguished by the pathos of the situation described by him.
There was always some girl in love with him until he was found kissing another. His tastes were amiably catholic; his caress instinctively casual. Beauty when responsive touched him. No girl he knew needed to remain unconsoled. The majority of women liked him; so did Geraldine Seagrave. The majority instinctively watched him; so did she.

Then the primeval Prince Montevarchi came to a violent end at the hands of his librarian, leaving his English princess consolable but unconsoled, leaving also his daughter Flavia married to that other Giovanni Saracinesca who still bears the name of Marchese di San Giacinto; while the younger girl, the fair, brown-eyed Faustina, loved a poor Frenchman, half soldier and all artist.
The sour old remnants do I not know them? Grant me patience with them!" "It was General Turner's word," said Gilian, utterly unconsoled, and he wondered for a moment to see her flush. "He might have had a kinder thought," said she, "with his own affairs, as they tell me, much ajee, and Old Islay pressing for his loans.
It had been objected that it was contrary to our notion of an all-loving Being that He should demand such a sacrifice; but, contrary or not, in this world it was true, quite apart from Jesus, that virtue was martyred every day, unknown and unconsoled, in order that the wicked might somehow be saved.
No one who has read many of the ancient gravestones but remembers the bitter words that are often found on them, words of indignation against the gods, of weariness of life, of despair and unconsoled melancholy. Here is one out of many: I, Procope, who lived twenty years, lift up my hands against God, who took me away innocent. Proclus set up this.
My system is organically sound I believe: I do every possible thing, and yet I get worse. Nature never forgives! I'll go to bed." The Dyspepsy departed unconsoled. Sir Austin took up his brother's thought: "I suppose nothing short of a miracle helps us when we have offended her." "Nothing short of a quack satisfies us," said Adrian, applying wax to an envelope of official dimensions.
She wept afresh and Billy was left unconsoled, for Maggie, wiping her eyes to look at Aileen and wonder at her silence, saw that she, too, was weeping; but the tears rolled silently one after another down her flushed cheeks. "Och, Aileen, darlin'! Don't ye cry wid me me burden's heavy enough widout the weight of wan of your tears say something to comfort me heart about Jim."
He spoke of the soldier, then in the full bloom of youth, who, unconsoled by fame, had nursed the memory of some hidden sorrow amidst the pine-trees that cast their shadow over the sunny Italian lake; how Riccabocca, then honoured and happy, had courted from his seclusion the English signore, then the mourner and the voluntary exile; how they had grown friends amidst the landscapes in which her eyes had opened to the day; how Harley had vainly warned him from the rash schemes in which he had sought to reconstruct in an hour the ruins of weary ages; how, when abandoned, deserted, proscribed, pursued, he had fled for life, the infant Violante clasped to his bosom, the English soldier had given him refuge, baffled the pursuers, armed his servants, accompanied the fugitive at night towards the defile in the Apennines, and, when the emissaries of a perfidious enemy, hot in the chase, came near, had said, "You have your child to save!
