But his brother Johan came not. Therefore he, in turn, rode upon his wooing and came unto the lady's presence in hauberk of mail, and thus ungently clad wooed her as one in haste to be gone, telling her that this world was no place for a man to sigh out his days at a woman's feet, and bidding her answer him' Yea' or 'Nay' and let him be gone to his duty.
"Stay," she said, "and laugh a bit with us. I know who you are the son of Demetrius. You must have bags of gold. Why do you look so black? Love is alive yet." Hermas shook off her hand, but not ungently. "I don't know what you mean," he said. "You are mistaken in me. I am poorer than you are." But as he passed on, he felt the warm touch of her fingers through the cloth on his arm.
Martin Holt, after one minute of utter silence, released the clinging arms from about his neck, pushed Cherry not ungently towards her sisters, and stepped forward towards her preserver. "This is a strange thing my daughter tells me, young sir," he said, as he scanned the horseman's face narrowly by the light of his lantern. "I find it hard to credit my senses.
"It is not mine to judge, Sir Crispin. I pity you with all my heart," the lad replied, not ungently. Still the knight was dissatisfied. "Yours it is to judge as every man may judge his fellowman. You mean it is not yours to sentence. But if yours it were, Kenneth, what then?" The lad paused a moment ere he answered.
Then with a great effort her instinct and determination to do right enabled her to control it; she pushed him from her decisively but not ungently, and then, with some emotion and an arch sweetness which he had never before seen in her, and which charmed him even more than her noble and lofty pride, she said, threatening him with her finger. "Take care, Orion!
He stared in utter bewilderment, vastly interested in the great transformation. Under his very eyes a city of white was about to spring into existence. Some one touched his shoulder, not ungently. He started in sudden alarm. A rough-looking fellow in a soiled red undershirt was standing at his elbow. "The boss says you'd better come to the cook-top and get somethin' to eat, young feller."
Sometimes she would seem to soften for a moment; but all at once, with a wriggle and a backward spasm in the arms of the person who carried her, she would manifest such a fresh access of repulsion, that, for fear of an outburst of fierce and objurgatory wailing which might upset poor Connie altogether, she would be borne off hurriedly, sometimes, I confess, rather ungently as well.
"Made prostitute and profligate the Muse." If you cannot be a poet, be a poetaster; and if you cannot be that, be a poetess, or "she-poet," as Johnson, in his big dictionary, defines the word. So "gently take all that ungently comes," and hammer away as sedulously as old Boileau. Somebody will, undoubtedly, in the next age, relish your rinsings. A poet, you know, is a prophet.
Ay, I wish we wur safe at home. Better less wage an' more safety. Yo'd niwer ha' coom if yo'd listened to me." "Howd thy tongue, mother," said Bess, but the words were not ungently spoken, notwithstanding their bluntness. "Dunnot let us mak' it worse than it need be. Seth, lad, eat thy breakfast." But there was little breakfast eaten.
Not ungently, he placed the squirming mass in the baptismal dress beside the girl on the bed. With the instinct of ages, the baby stopped wailing and opened her mouth. "The little cuss!" cried Al, delighted. "Ain't that me all over? Little angel-face the minute I get to the table!" Unresisting now, Claribel let Rose uncover her firm white breast.
