Indeed, at the end of the scene which ensued he well-nigh convinced himself that he had been most ungratefully treated by Bud while sincerely attempting to save the boy from the companionship of a fiend in human guise. "No matter who told me, young man," he exclaimed; "I got it straight, and you can take it straight from me. You either give up Buck McKee or the Sweetwater Ranch.
The priest had come in and he was kicking the soldier, and telling him he'd done it now, and they must take the jewels and flee for their lives. 'And did they? 'I don't know. You interfered, said Jane ungratefully. 'I SHOULD have liked to see the last of it. As a matter of fact, none of them had seen the last of it if by 'it' Jane meant the adventure of the Priest and the Soldier.
It was the same with Norman, and bashfulness making a sudden prey of both on they went under its dominion, in a condition partaking equally of discomfort and felicity; dreading the sound of their own voices, afraid of each other's faces, feeling they were treating each other very strangely and ungratefully, yet without an idea what to say next, or the power of speaking first; and therefore pacing onwards, looking gravely straight along the path, as if to prevent the rabbits and foxgloves from guessing that anything had been passing between them.
I arose and placed Bunny in the deep pocket of an army overcoat that hung by the window, where he cuddled down contentedly. Ca-line passed out with a lagging step, but in a few moments ran back, and, drawing a box under the window, climbed upon it to peep into the pocket at her pet, who ungratefully growled at being disturbed. She then ran out without a word to me, and I saw her no more.
And you did not invite me to come out with you to hear you talk about bones, but to see you do some good and kind action. 'We can't do it here, said Robert, sulkily. 'No, rejoined the bird. 'The only thing we can do here, it seems, is to try to frighten our little sisters. 'He didn't, really, and I'm not so VERY little, said Jane, rather ungratefully. Robert was silent.
"And draw all men after them, as the 'Pied Piper of Hamelin' did the rats," said Mr. Rayne. "What are you talking about?" said Mrs. Rayne, joining us at this point. "The pity of it," said her husband, "that beauty is only skin deep." "That is deep enough," said Mrs. Rayne. "Yes, if age and sickness and trouble did not make one shed it so soon," said I ungratefully. "Don't mention it," said Mrs.
Yet it must be recorded not ungratefully by the impartial observer that the rare presence of a decent woman or a clergyman will almost always put a check upon blackguardly speech, even that of a dog driver; women and clergymen being supposed the only two classes who could have any possible objection to foulness of mouth.
Honour disregarded! Love ungratefully repaid! Regard for honoured parents and kindred trampled under foot! Woe is me a thousand times to have thus given the reins to my inclinations! O false words which I have too trustingly responded to by deeds! But of whom do I complain? Did I not wilfully betray myself?
There is the Public Garden, newly planned and planted, but without the massive bridge destined to make so ungratefully little of the lake that occasioned it. But it is all very vague, and I could easily believe now that it was some one else who saw it then in my place.
And it can never be right sullenly to close the heart in determined sadness against the cheering influences of God's light, and air, and bright sunshine; nor can we usually, if we would, act so foolishly and ungratefully. That happy week at Oakvale often seemed to Lucy a sort of oasis of sunshine, as compared with the depressing weeks that preceded and followed it.
