It was a mild evening late in October, and Louisa sat on the porch with her pepper-and-salt shawl on and a black wool "rigolette" tied over her head. Jack, very sulky and unresigned, was dispatched to bed under the care of the one servant, who was provided with a cupful of vinegar, salt, and water, for a gargle.
Young Dalyrimple had very keen gray eyes, a mind that delighted the army psychological examiners, a trick of having read it whatever it was some time before, and a cool hand in a hot situation. But these things did not save him a final, unresigned sigh when he realized that he had to go to work right away.
Back of these, rendering them fatally effective, lies that other delusion, the imagined right of peaceable secession, founded on a belief in the full and unresigned sovereignty of the States. Let me tell a story illustrative of the depth to which this belief has penetrated.

The two women found Elder Gray in the office, and Abby, still unresigned, laid Susanna's case before him. "The Great Architect has need of many kinds of workmen in His building," said the Elder. "There are those who are willing to put aside the ties of flesh for the kingdom of heaven's sake; 'he that is able to receive it, let him receive it!"
Here Connoway sighed and stretched himself luxuriously, rubbing the stiff fell of his hair meditatively as he did so. "Ah, poor Bridget," he continued, with pathos in his voice, "Bridget is so dreadfully unresigned, Mistress Lyon. Often have I said to her, 'Be resigned, Bridget trust in Providence, Bridget! But as sure as I point out Bridget's duty, there is something broken in our house!"
