Well knoweth he that rough and untender handling would crush us, and break us all in pieces. And, 2. He is full of bowels of mercy, and can "have compassion on them that are out of the way, and can be touched with the feeling of our infirmities," Heb. iv. 15. v. 2.
This prompted in Susie a laugh, not untender, the innocent meaning of which was that it came, as a subject for indifference, money did, easier to some people than to others: she made the point in fairness, however, that you couldn't have told, by any too crude transparency of air, what place it held for Maud Manningham.
Not something to be endured, but a thing to be strangled and thrust away. It was the demon of hate; so new, so awful, so loathsome, he doubted that he could look it in the face and live. Here was the problem of his new existence. The woman who had formerly made his life colorless and empty he had quietly turned his back upon, carrying with him a pity that was not untender.
"All Spaniards," Mr. Ford remarks, "are very dangerous with the knife, and more particularly if surgeons. At no period were Spaniards careful even of their own lives, and much less of those of others, being a people of untender bowels." If the Peninsula surgeon is reckless and destructive with his steel, the physician, on the other hand, is usually overcautious with his drugs.
When she does finally return home she is chilled again by the contrast. Marcia has gone to Philadelphia; Mrs. Grandon is cold to a point of severity, and most untender to Cecil. Her surprise is a beautiful new piano, for Laura's has gone to the city. She begins at once with Cecil's lessons, and this engrosses her to some extent.
In among the blueberry bushes grow huckleberries, "choky pears," and black-snaps. Gnarled oaks and stunted pines lift themselves out of the wilderness of shrubs. They look dwarfed and gloomy, as if Nature had been an untender mother, and denied them proper nourishment. The road is a little-traveled one, and furrows of feathery grasses grow between the long, hot, sandy stretches of the wheel-ruts.
"'So young, and so untender!" says Gower, gazing at her with deep reproach. He seems full of quotations. "But where are you going, really?" "Out." He pauses. "Not out of your mind, I hope?" "Don't be too sure." "Well, wait, and I'll go with you," says she, glancing at the stand in the hall where her garden hat is generally to be found. "Not to-day," says Gower; "you mustn't come with me to-day.
Ware twisted his features, on which middle age had rested an untender hand, into a smile. "When a man undertakes to manage a place like Belle Plain his work's laid out for him, Betty, and an old fellow like me is pretty apt to go one of two ways; either he takes to hard living to keep himself in trim, or he pampers himself soft." "But you aren't old, Tom!"
The very stone of the wall, and the beam of the roof cried out against the hard and untender usage that had laid the sanctuary low. Here children had been baptized, tender marriage vows plighted, and the dead laid to rest; and this was the end. I turned away with a sense of deep sadness; the very sunshine seemed blurred with a shadow of dreariness and shame.
By sheer force of will Richard recovered his footing, disengaging himself from her support, shuffling aside from her. "A thousand thanks, Helen," he said. Then he looked full at her, and she untender though she was perceived that the perspective of space on which, as windows might, his eyes seemed to open back, was not empty.
