I go indifferently to either church, Protestant or Catholic, and am thankful when any note of music, or thrill of feeling in the voice, or noble sentiment, elevates me so that I can pray. But I am told that both Catholics and Protestants consider me a weak waverer, and call me incorrigible.
In these views Samuel Adams shared so thoroughly that his attitude toward the Constitution at this moment was really that of a waverer rather than an opponent. Amid balancing considerations he found it for some time hard to make up his mind. In the convention which met on the 9th of January there sat Gorham, Strong, and King, who had taken part in the Federal Convention.
She had lost her happiness; she had wrecked her life, and until this moment there seemed no possibility of recovering anything from the wreckage.... But she loved.... There was a foundation to build from. If she had been weak, a waverer, no structure could have risen on the foundation; it must have lain futile, accusing.
By and by Joe timidly ventured upon a roundabout "feeler" as to how the others might look upon a return to civilization not right now, but Tom withered him with derision! Huck, being uncommitted as yet, joined in with Tom, and the waverer quickly "explained," and was glad to get out of the scrape with as little taint of chicken-hearted homesickness clinging to his garments as he could.
Through this brilliant husband of hers, she had touched the destinies of England, pulled the strings of Empire. Oh, the intoxication of the fight the fight for which she had seconded and sponged him! Oh, the rapture of intriguing against his enemies himself included the feminine triumph of managing Goodman Waverer or Badman Badgerer! And now oh, she could no longer control her sobs!
True, she resolves to punish the waverer by leaving him for a time in uncertainty as to his fate; but stands firm by her resolve to rid the world of the abominable seducer who dared to dictate laws to his fellow-men.
Elizabeth had no will to follow in the track of Rome, and to help the Pope to drive every waverer into action. Weakened and broken as it was, she clung obstinately to her system of compromise; and the general opinion gave her a strength which enabled her to resist the pressure of her council and her Parliament.
"You may be sure, my dear lord, I cannot refuse your invitation; indeed, I intended to visit your county next week. You know, perhaps, a Mr. Merton." "Charles Merton? to be sure; most respectable man, capital fellow, the best parson in the county, no cant, but thoroughly orthodox; he certainly keeps in his brother, who, though a very active member, is what I call a waverer on certain questions.
Another man would have made up his mind long ago; it was a ruse, therefore let it be neglected and remain in Bardur with open eyes; it was good faith and a good chance, therefore let him go at once. But to Lewis the possibilities seemed endless, and he could find no solution save the old one of the waverer, to wait for further light. He found Thwaite at breakfast, just returned from his travels.
"I would I could say I had been ever faithful, your Excellency, but I must own to fickleness." "These are times that test loyalty to the full," replied Washington, "and there has been many a waverer in the land." "Of that I know full well, your Excellency." "Nay, Miss Meredith, thou needest not pretend that thou hast any knowledge of inconstancy.
