She is faithful to her trust, as the companion of him who fell at his post, and is doubtless happy in obedience to the unworldly motives that guide her determination. I doubt the expediency of sending missionary ladies to perish here. Indeed, it may well be questioned whether a missionary ought, in any country, to be a married man.
It was the more bewildering because nothing had happened to awaken such feelings. He had met this unworldly, inexperienced prairie girl but twice, and on her part she had betrayed no particular attraction for him. As a matter of fact, she probably considered him an old man young girls were like that. Of course, that was absurd.
But thought is free, and so is love. The modest clerk had made this girl the light of his life, and whether far or near the rays of that ideal would guide him on his unworldly path. New shaven and freshly clad, he set out for the Warbecks' house, which was in a near part of Brixton. Not an imposing house by any means, but an object of reverence to Thomas Bird.
He was born of famous ancestry, in a bright and unworldly home; early filled with the moral and intellectual enthusiasms of Rugby in its best days; steeped in the characteristic culture of Oxford, and advanced by easy stages of well-deserved promotion to the most delightful of all offices in the Church of England. His inward nature accorded well with this happy environment.
Isabel turned back into the room, smiling, her colour a little brighter than before. "Why not?" "Men keep best," returned Madame, somewhat enigmatically, "in a cool, dry atmosphere. If you'll remember that fact, it may save you trouble in the years to come." "Such worldly wisdom," laughed Rose, "from such an unworldly woman!"
I do not speak only of the culture which many of them brought from the universities, of the Greek and Roman classics, and what unworldly literature they could glean from the productive age of Elizabeth and James, but of another source, more universally resorted to, and more powerful in exciting imagination and emotion, and filling the want in human nature of which we have spoken.
With interest, I say, for was not the kind Norman giant with enormous moustaches and a thundering voice the last of the Romantics? Was he not, in his unworldly, almost ascetic, devotion to his art a sort of literary, saint-like hermit?
The "Church of England" drones on about Nellie, who is "such a child, only seventeen; so unsophisticated and so unworldly." "Just imagine, she quite snubs that handsome Peruvian nobleman, and he is really delightful, you know." We draw a simultaneous sigh of relief when the "Church of England" leaves us to ourselves. "Blanche," says Mrs. Steele, "you've been fighting again with the Baron.
There was something pervading the air of the whole apartment that conveyed a sense of the solemn, unworldly stillness which we attach to the abstract idea of religion. Of the two men cautiously talking together, one was the patrician, Vetranio; the other, a celebrated physician of Rome.
We are a wise and provident age, mercantile in our heroics, seeking a solid profit for every sacrifice. But this man a child of the latter day had not the new self-confidence, and he was at the best high-strung, unwise, and unworldly. Besides, he was broken with toil and excited with adventure.
