They did nothing else until the barbarians came over the mountains...." "Well," said Amanda virtuously, "we will do something else." He made no answer and her expression became profoundly thoughtful. Of course this wandering must end. He had been growing impatient for some time. But it was difficult, she perceived, to decide just what to do with him.... Benham picked up the thread of his musing.
According to Christian theology, if man did not have "free-will" it would follow that God is the Author of all the evil of the world. Something which is not quite in keeping with His perfect goodness. But they gave man "free-will" not to enable him to live virtuously, but to enable him to sin.
With instant disfavor, Desire noted the perfect arrangement of the hair, the delicate slope of the shoulder, the lifted chin, the tip of a hidden ear, the slightly mocking, but very alluring, glance of long, fawn-like eyes. "Another molehill," thought Desire. And, virtuously disregarding the instinct leaping in her heart, she turned the fascinating thing face downwards. Probably fate laughed then.
Whereas, on the contrary, those that are not virtuously bred are wont to gather fuel to inflame their passions, and voluntarily to abandon themselves to those temptations to which of themselves they are endangered. There, if base scorn insult my reverend age, Bear it, my son! repress thy rising rage. If outraged, cease that outrage to repel; Bear it, my son! howe'er thy heart rebel.
"Ah, well, Teddy," she said, with a fine assumption of polite interest, "it's lonely down here; you're longing to get back to the old life to polo and lobsters and theatres and balls." "Never cared much for balls," said Teddy virtuously. "You're getting old, Teddy. Your memory is failing.
He could manage to find his way into his berth, light his lamp, get into his bed ay, and get out of it when I called him at half-past five, the first man on deck, lifting the cup of morning coffee to his lips with a steady hand, ready for duty as though he had virtuously slept ten solid hours a better chief officer than many a man who had never tasted grog in his life.
I'm doing it for Miriam's sake, not yours; and I want you to bear this in mind: that if ever I hear of your treating her badly oh, you needn't look so virtuously indignant; I know your sort; you'd treat her badly enough presently, if you hadn't a check on you. And I'm going to be that check.
Drake bore himself on this occasion with that sober modesty that characterized him always under any circumstances. His reputation stood higher now than ever, and it was no detriment to him that Philip should shudder, and when he became virtuously agitated speak of him as "that fearful man Drake."
I who had said I loved him, that I believed in his innocence, had yet virtuously urged him to go back and give himself up to what? Why, my poor little coward mind was even afraid to name what that thing was! The Spanish Woman had not been afraid, no, not of anything! She had risked everything that she had to save him in the best way that she knew.
His works praise him, because they are to the praise of Him that wrought by him; for which his memorial is and shall be blessed. I have done, as to this part of my preface, when I have left this short epitaph to his name, Many sons have done virtuously in this day; but, dear George, thou excellest them all.
