The gift of fascination was one of his distinguishing traits; and when he chose, he could charm, with his winning speech, the most obdurate and unloving.
"Do you have to speak to me like that, Thyrsis? If you'd only just tell me, kindly and pleasantly " "But I've told you three or four times! "Thyrsis! How can you say that?" "But didn't I?" "Why, of course not!" And then they would have an argument. He would bring up each case and confront her with it; and how very unloving a procedure was that and how exasperating was his manner as he did it!
'What are you driving at? the dealer asked. 'Not charitable? returned the other, gloomily. Not charitable; not pious; not scrupulous; unloving, unbeloved; a hand to get money, a safe to keep it. Is that all? Dear God, man, is that all? 'I will tell you what it is, began the dealer, with some sharpness, and then broke off again into a chuckle.
The first week, I could skip one night, the next, two, and so on, using my own judgment about tapering off the acquaintance gradually and gracefully to an imperceptible point. The way appearing plain at last, how that unloving might be made easy, I assumed a cheerful air, and went down to breakfast.
Mabel saw all this; for years the knowledge of her own rash act had coiled the snake around her heart, which was eating away its life, had been the shadow around her footsteps which nothing could sweep away, not even her own will. She was a slave, the slave of her own deadly sin; for a deadly sin it is which links two unloving hearts together, even in so brief a period of eternity as this world.
It was not in her nature to pour forth wishes or grievances. They only came forth gracefully on solicitation.

That is unloving." "Why should I tell you what you cannot alter?
I should fail if I tried to tell you how dear the pony was to me. Even hard, unloving men become attached to the horses they take care of; so I, who was neither unloving nor hard, grew to love every glossy hair of the pretty little creature that depended on me for her soft straw bed and her daily modicum of oats.
And the Lord Jesus means by this comparison to tell us that our unloving reaction to the other's wrong is what a great rafter is to a little splinter! Every time we point one of our fingers at another and say, "It's your fault," three of our fingers are pointing back at us.
After nearly two years' work, she commenced daily evening Bible readings, having an attendance of from twenty to thirty, while on the Sunday evening there were often more than a hundred. It was no wonder that such devotion met with a ready response from the sad and friendless, and that her loving sympathy evoked love from the seemingly unloving. Let us follow her as she passes through the wards.
She was an utterly loveless woman, living unloving, and unloved a terrible condition. One could not like her. Deadly dull, narrow, pedantic, petty, uninspiring, Miss Smellie's ideals, standards, and aims were incredibly low. She lived, and taught others to live, for appearances.
