The inference is too obvious for me to need dwell on it, that repose is the great resource, and quiet waiting the true wisdom. =Hooping-Cough.= I need not say much about hooping-cough, for there is scarcely a nursery in which, to everyone's great discomfort, it is not known as a familiar and most unwelcome visitant.
I know not which of the two of us was the more dumbfounded; but this I do know; that I was still speechless and fair witless when she swept me a low-dipped curtsy and gave me my greeting. "I bid you good evening, Captain Ireton," she said, coldly; and then with still more of the frost of unwelcome in her voice: "To what may we be indebted for this honor?"
Still the old businesse; Indeede you make me blush, but I forgive you If you will promise to sollicite this Unwelcome cause no more. Sir Fr. 'Tis my desire; I take no pleasure in a pilgrimage.
No, not lynchings, I knew about them. But I knew they don't happen every day. What I hadn't any idea of, till her letter came, was how every day, every minute of every day, they're subject to indignity that they can't avoid, how they're made to feel themselves outsiders and unwelcome in their own country.
Much of this, no doubt, is due to the wisdom, tact, and firmness of George the Bethlehemite, the best of dragomans. We have many visitors at the camp, but none unwelcome. The American Consul, a genial scholar who knows Palestine by heart and has made valuable contributions to the archæology of Jerusalem, comes with his wife to dine with us in the open air.
We must punctiliously obey every dictate that speaks in our own consciences, especially when it urges us to unwelcome duties or restrains us from too welcome sins.
Then away she flew, kissing her hand to them, and leaving Elizabeth to gather up her weary thoughts and make an effort at entertaining these unwelcome guests. Mrs. Harrington found Elsie yawning over a new novel, and quite prepared to be enlivened by the prospect of company. "But I can't go down such a figure," she said; "just wait a minute. One gets so careless in a house without gentlemen."
The bright golden brown chicken snake marked with narrow stripes along the back, and from four to seven feet in length in spite of its beautiful and fangless mouth, is an unwelcome visitor in farmhouses when it comes as a stranger, for it is apt to carry off fowls from their roost as well as their eggs and will eat up a brood of ducklings without ceremony.
I cannot, indeed, but suspect, especially looking at the latter part of this transaction, when government was dissolved in Cracow when disorganization took place that it was not unwelcome, or altogether unpalatable to those three Powers, to be enabled to say, 'All means of government are gone; Cracow is a scene of anarchy and disorder, and no remedy remains but the total abolition of the existence of that republic. Therefore, Sir, both on the grounds of the Treaty of Vienna, the distinctness of the stipulations referring to Cracow, and with regard to the reasons which were urged for its extinction, I think, in the first place, there was a manifest violation of the Treaty of Vienna; and I believe, in the second, that, if the question had been discussed in a congress or conference among the Powers, there is no sufficient proof, so far as we have hitherto seen, that the three Powers would have been in a position to show good cause for the course they have adopted.
The last are governed by an instinct of the disagreeable, by an appetite and headlong rage for violating decorum and hurting other people's feelings, their own being excited and enlivened by the shock. They deal in home truths, unpleasant reflections, and unwelcome matters of fact; as the others are all compliment and complaisance, insincerity and insipidity.
