There she was, resting against his arm, in the blush and wealth of unspent love, asking to go with him, who loved her better than his life.
He told of the long evenings spent over her Bible; of his mission work, and of his honest effort to deal justly with all; at the same time dwelling strongly on his doubts and spiritual darkness, and the unspent influences of his old evil life. The answer was different from what he expected; for she said: "Mr. Gregory, why do you say that you are not a Christian?" "Because I feel that I am not."
If we had not been rescued by you, we should have died together! now you will help us to live together! Will you not? You are a little white angel a fairy! yes! to me you are! your heart is full of unspent love! You will let me stay with him always always? As his nurse? his servant? his slave?"
"Plato," she suggested, "I think we'll go round the other way to-night, if you don't mind." Visions of Mars Geo'ge disappointed, of a dollar unearned and unspent, flitted through the narrow brain which some one, with the irony of ignorance or of knowledge, had mocked with the name of a great philosopher. Plato was not an untruthful lad, but he seldom had the opportunity to earn a dollar.
No more was the decent wife of the spendthrift tradesman, when forced by stern necessity, and the cries of her children, to seek her husband in the public house, of a Saturday night, anxious as she was to secure what was left unspent of his week's wages, in order to procure to-morrow's food no more was she to be wheedled into the bar, to get the landlord's or the landlady's treat, in order that the outworks of temperance, and the principles of industry, perhaps of virtue, might be gradually broken down, for the selfish and diabolical purpose of enabling her drunken husband to spend a double share of his hardly-earned pittance.
Their casts, too, those peculiar little heaps which they throw up at the mouth of their dwellings, formed another source of fertility to the earth, by bringing up from beneath the surface unspent soil, and spreading it upon the top.
That is why the two of them later sat apart on the sunny side of the hotel "office" which was also a saloon and talked of many things, but chiefly of the cattle industry as Montana knows it and of the hopes and the aims of Alexander P. Dill. Perhaps, also, that is why Billy breathed clean of whisky and had the bulk of his winter wages still unspent in his pocket.
Lettice's youthful aspect, persisting in the face of her approaching motherhood, disconcerted him; it was inappropriate. Her freshly-flushed, rounded cheeks beside his own weather-beaten, lean jaw offered a comment too obvious for enjoyment. He resented, from his own depleting store, her unspent sum of days.
They are full of a great, joyous impulse, and their work is but the expression of this impulse. They somehow have time for the unexpected. They see that which Gives to seas and sunset skies The unspent beauty of surprise. The world is in their eyes ever fresh and sparkling. Life is full of possibilities. They see no reason to give up the habit of wonder.
He tried to get some inspiration for the spurt in telling himself that in spite of everything he was still a man of business. When at last he began to speak, it was with something of the feeling of the broken-down prize-fighter dragging himself bleeding and breathless into the ring for the last round with a young and still unspent opponent. "I didn't suppose you were in in a position to do that."
