Sallust. And now, gentle or ungentle reader, we must imagine that two whole years have passed since the conclusion of those summer holidays, before we again meet our young friends of Saint Winifred's. The two years as what years are not? have been full of change. Walk across the court with me, and let us discover what we can about the present state of things.
Beauchamp heard himself addressed: 'You are looking for my sister-in-law, M. Beauchamp? The speaker was Madame d'Auffray, to whom he had been introduced overnight a lady of the aquiline French outline, not ungentle. Renee had spoken affectionately of her, he remembered.
'One must protect oneself and there's one's mother to think of, he answered. 'True. I hope allowances are made for us somewhere. Our burden can you hear? our burden is heavy enough. She rose, towering into the roof of the carriage. Conroy's ungentle grip pulled her back. 'Now you are foolish. Sit down, said he. 'But the cruelty of it! Can't you see it? Don't you feel it?
"He can't help it," she urged in an angry whisper. "You talk as if he was doing it on purpose." David slid off his horse and made for the wagon with reeling steps. The other man followed muttering. "Help him," she called. "Don't you see he can hardly stand?" At the wagon wheel Daddy John hoisted him in with vigorous and ungentle hands. Crawling into the back the sick man fell prone with a groan.
One day the goddess, while Scylla dressed her hair, listened to the story, and then replied, "Yet, maiden, your persecutors are of the not ungentle race of men, whom, if you will, you can repel; but I, the daughter of Nereus, and protected by such a band of sisters, found no escape from the passion of the Cyclops but in the depths of the sea;" and tears stopped her utterance, which when the pitying maiden had wiped away with her delicate finger, and soothed the goddess, "Tell me, dearest," said she, "the cause of your grief."
What are they cheering Fletcher for?" was asked. But none could answer. But over in the hall it was different. Not a lad there, perhaps, but would have been glad to have exchanged places with the gallant confounder of sophomore plots, who was pictured in most minds as starving to death somewhere out in the rain, a captive in the ungentle hands of the enemy.
Of course there are the manners suitable to strangers and those suitable to intimates, but politeness is the one essential of both. I would not let the smallest child stroke his father's beard roughly. Watch a child and when he begins to grow rough you will see an evil spirit looking out of his eyes. It is a mean and bad thing to be ungentle with our own.
It seems to intimate that the paradise is cooling towards him; that he is warned off by acclamation; that he must not even venture to tempt with one last tear his friend Cornelia's ungentle mood, for her eye is glazed and cold and dares not entreat her lover to stay: Exhibit E "Pause not! the time is past!
Pelle had ventured into the battle and had received a kick, but he bore no malice. If he had had a sweet, he, like the girls, would have given it to Henry Bodker, and would have put up with ungentle treatment too. He worshipped him. But he measured himself by Nilen the little bloodthirsty Nilen, who had no knowledge of fear, and attacked so recklessly that the others got out of his way!
Only, as the active actual half of her life grew more discouraging, harder to steer toward any object that seemed worth attaining, her imaginary life with Rodney lost its grip on fact and reason; became roseate, romantic, a thinner and more iridescent bubble, readier to burst and disappear altogether at an ungentle touch.
