Before she could reach the gate, Lloyd Pryor had opened it, and, unwelcomed, was coming up the path. His surprised glance brought her tumultuous and apologetic explanation. "Oh, I'm sorry!" he said kindly; "I must console him with a new dollar; don't you think a dollar will be healing?" She laughed and possessed herself of his hand. "You run a sort of hospital, Nelly, don't you?
"It seems that I come home like Rip Van Winkle, or Ulysses, unknown, unwelcomed, unlike the latter, even by a dog." "Where is your sister?" "Not having seen her for five years, I am unable to answer." "She went to town two hours ago, to meet you." "Then, after all, I am expected; but pray by what route balloon or telegraph?"
Both Graham and Mrs. Mayburn were right in their estimate she would never yield her heart unless compelled to by influences unexpected, at first unwelcomed, but in the end overmastering. The first and chief effect of Hilland's impetuous wooing was, as we have seen, to destroy her sense of maidenly security, and to bring her face to face with her destiny.
The minister, the weeping father and mother, and the stern-looking grandfather, alone followed the little unwelcomed one to its grave. After that, Sarah rarely went out of her house except at night. The tradesmen with whom she had to deal came slowly to have a pitying respect for her.
The man cared nothing for me, as had already been plainly demonstrated, yet, but for this conspiracy of La Barre and his Commissaire, it would have been his privilege to have handled whatever property Pierre la Chesnayne left at time of his death. He would have been the legal guardian of an heiress, instead of the provider for an unwelcomed child of poverty.
Her heart swelled within her, her breath seemed suddenly arrested in her bosom, as she trod the garden path and ascended the steps beyond. The door at the top was ajar. With a last effort she thrust it open, and stood once more unaided and unwelcomed, yet hopeful of consolation, of pardon, of love within her first and last sanctuary, the walls of her home!
When day dawned Sir Richard lay in his shroud and his little daughter in her cradle, the one unwept, the other unwelcomed by the wife and mother, who, twelve hours before, had called herself the happiest woman in England. They thought her dying, and at her own command gave her the sealed letter bearing her address which her husband left behind him.
Had the girl died that night Nathaniel would not have mourned her, he would have known only relief and gratitude. "She was unwelcomed," he muttered to his weeping wife; "and she has become a curse to us. It lies with us to turn the punishment into our souls' good; but what can we do for her?" Priscilla did not die that night.
The group before us has come from the Sáhara, a month's long journey overland, on foot! Yet their travels have only commenced. Can they have realized what it all means? "He lengthened absence, and returned unwelcomed." Moorish Proverb.
Forms are rigidly insisted upon, and the reputation of the church for exclusiveness is so well known that those in the humbler walks of life never dream of entering its doors. They feel they would be unwelcomed, that nine tenths of the congregation would consider them unfit to address their prayers to the Great White Throne from so exclusive a place.
