"David helped give them their liberty, and I would so gladly help them to enjoy it!" cried Christie, all the old enthusiasm blazing up, but with a clearer, steadier flame than in the days when she dreamed splendid dreams by the kitchen fire. "Well, no, that wouldn't meet my views. What else is there?" asked the old man quite unwarmed by her benevolent ardor.
The jails were loathsome dungeons, swarming with vermin, unventilated, unwarmed.
Young, in the Night Thoughts, with more quaintness than good taste, compares the sceptic who can remain unmoved in the contemplation of the starry heavens, to a salamander unwarmed in the fire: "An undevout astronomer is mad! Oh, what a genius must inform the skies! And is Lorenzo's salamander-heart Cold and untouched amid these sacred fires?"
He had in fact something within to enliven him; and that was the more than suspicion, amounting to an odour of certainty, that Armandine intended one of her grand surprises for her master, and for the hundred and fifty or so to be seated at her tables in the unwarmed house of Lakelands. Armandine did her wonders.
They had solemnly sat in unwarmed churches; they had been present at elections; had seen men standing in the pillory or women whipped through the streets; they had diverted themselves at weddings or the husking-bee, or by walking in the woods, or by drinking in a tavern. But no frivolous and superstitious world of Anti-Christ compassed them about to point the moral of the harsh Puritan tale.
It was her own mother, her own old mother, shuffling about the kitchen in Hume Park Square in the dirty light of the unwarmed morning; poking forward into the grate with hands on which housework had acted like a skin disease; pulling her flannel dressing-gown about a body which poverty and neglect had made as ugly as the time, the place, the task.
These aforesaid elders had no sympathy with men who tasted standing up, or who took their "Mountain Dew" unwarmed. They would gravely quote the scriptural admonition that all things should be done decently and in order, adding the exposition, logically deduced, that the more important the transaction, the more imperative that order and decency should be observed.
It is not as hard as a stone," he went on in the same introspective voice, and looking as if his heart were lying as heavy as a stone in that unwarmed breast of which he spoke. "No, not so hard. But how to prove what you give me credit for ah! that's another question. No one has ever expected such a thing from me before. No one whom my tenderness would have been of any use to. And now you come.
With a bitter easterly wind searching out the chinks of door and window, we sat shivering in our unwarmed compartment unwarmed, I say, in spite of the clumsy tin of quickly-cooled hot water procured by favour and a gratuity from a porter! The Channel showed even more disagreeable than usual.
