Margaret never objected; nor expressed the least incredulity; but on their return was always in tears. This connivance was short-lived. She was now altogether as eager to wean little Gerard.
No subtlety of insinuation, no suggestion, could wean him from the fixed idea that the apology to Dr. Shrapnel must be spoken by his uncle in person. 'If one could only imagine Mr. Romfrey doing it! Rosamund groaned. 'He shall: and you will help him, said Beauchamp. 'If you loved a woman half as much as you do that man! 'If I knew a woman as good, as wise, as noble as he!
And there were the horses, rugging at the hedge where I had tethered them; and Chieftain on his feet, shaky and foam-flecked, and trembling at his knees; and the gipsy lass's wean greetin' at the hedge foot, with one wee bare arm clear of the shawl, seeming to beckon all the world to its aid.

It was, somehow, less to Sabrina, still peering at the babe in the sling, than to Aunt Rachel, apparently asleep, that the gipsy seemed to reply. "You'll know some day, little missis, that a wean knows its own pair of arms," her seductive voice came. And Aunt Rachel heard. She opened her eyes with a start.
If we are trusting in aught save Him, that upon which we are leaning will be snatched away, even though we fall at first into the depths of despairing sorrow. What He makes us suffer now is not to be considered, in view of His purpose to wean us from this world and prepare us for the next.

And this of itself might lead one to suspect the emperor's hand as the original agent; for by no one act was it possible so entirely and so suddenly to wean the people from their old republican recollections, and in one week to obliterate the memorials of their popular forces, and the trophies of many ages.
