"My last and only hope is that tomorrow, after they have realized the uselessness of opposing me, they will listen to a proposition of peace without honour, from their old standard; but with great honour, from the standard that I intend to establish.
"But never mind, Fate intended it to be so. For the future you will not, at all events, run after a shadow, you will be yourself again, and that is worth a good deal, after all." But it was of no use Sztolarik preaching about the uselessness of worldly goods, for those worldly goods are very pleasant to have.
So that if it be inquired by any one, How comes it to pass, that we have so many in Holy Orders that understand so little, and are able to do so little service in the Church? if we may answer plainly and truly, we may say, "Because they are fit for nothing else!" For, shall we think that any man that is not cursed to uselessness, poverty, and misery, will be content with £20 or £30 a year?
A danger was before him, and it was only in being master of himself that he could be saved. He must have the coolness of a surgeon during an operation, the glance of a general in a battle; and the coolness and the glance were not found among the nervous and agitated. Could he escape from this danger? This was the question that he asked himself unceasingly, although he knew the uselessness of it.
Her aunt had a large house and was in the social whirl of the capital. Dinners, balls, the White House, the Embassies but all this meant little to Nelka and she felt the futility of all that activity, its artificiality and uselessness. Irritated and longing for a change she once again returned to Russia, and once again went back to the Kaufman community.
At last he began to pull the furniture away from the entrance, slowly at first, as he merely thought of its uselessness, then with feverish haste, as he realised that the fact of his trying to entrench himself in his quarters would seem suspicious. In a few seconds he had restored everything to its place.
Upstairs she took the library key from the place where she always hid it under her pincushion who said she wasn't careful? put on her hat, and swept down again and out into the street. If Mr. Royall heard her go he made no motion to detain her: his sudden rages probably made him understand the uselessness of reasoning with hers.
I have heard in a score of places that the Atterburys were detaining you until another reverse to the Union arms should convince you of the uselessness of remaining in the service of the abolitionists." "O Polly, it must be a joke! They little know me, who could suspect me of such dishonor! Surely the Atterburys can't think me so base as that. What have I ever done to justify such a stigma?"
"On trying to get things which an all-wise Providence has considerately placed out of your reach." Without giving her time to reply, he continued: "Give me your hand no, you must" as she hung back. "I'm not going to have you risking this ledge again alone." He extended one hand behind him, and, recognising the uselessness of argument, Ann yielded and laid hers in it.
O comedy that has no audience, which yet is played by one heart before another heart and where both of you applaud because both of you think that you have obtained success! She it is who will tell you that you are jealous, who will point out to you that she knows you better than you know yourself, who will prove to you the uselessness of your artifices and who perhaps will defy you.
