It was her odd way of ducking her head about, as if to catch a good view of Ruth's left hand, that made me think of the wedding-ring; and once, yesterday, when I thought I had made up quite a natural speech, and was saying how sad it was for so young a creature to be left a widow, she broke in with 'widow be farred! in a very strange, contemptuous kind of manner."
She was gone because her husband, Pierre, told her to go. You want a proof? You shall have it. Here is the wedding-ring you gave her last night." He handed it over, and Shon saw inside it his own name and hers. "My God!" he said. "Did she know? Tell me she didn't know, Pierre?" "No, she did not know. I have truth to speak to night. I was jealous, mad, and foolish, and I left her.
Do you think there is any virtue or beauty in your present life, or any merit in continuing it? From first to last, your existence is a lie. Do you think a wedding-ring redeems the honour of a woman who sells herself for money? There is no slavery more degrading than the bondage of such an alliance." "Open the door, Mr. Fairfax, and let me go!"
Penn had lighted, and at a framed piece of embroidery, representing Abraham sacrificing Isaac, that hung upon the wall. Were there no succouring angels now? The door opened, and I looked wearily round. A motherly woman, with black eyes, fat cheeks, and a fat wedding-ring, stood curtseying at the door. I said, "I think you are Dr. Penn's landlady? He says you are very good. Pray come in."
There was an air of aloofness about her that was more disturbing than had been a display of passion. "If that's your idea of marriage, we'd be better apart, for it isn't mine. No, you're not my husband," She stood up, slowly drew the wedding-ring from her finger, and laid it on the table. "Cicily!" Hamilton cried, aghast, as she turned away. She did not pause until she was come to the door.
He said: 'There's my old mother, seventy-eight this spring, bent, gray, and wasted with the work of raising us seven children; she's slaved so hard for fifty years that she's worn her wedding-ring to a fine thread, and her hands look as if they had a thousand knuckles and joints in them.
Consider, Uxmoor has title, wealth, everything to bestow with the wedding-ring. If he offers all that, and you don't offer all you have, how much more generous he looks to her than you do!" "In short, you think she will doubt my affection, if I don't ask her to share my poverty." "If you don't, and a rich man asks her to share his all, I'm sure she will. And so should I. Words are only words."
John could not see how, instead of speaking, she guided her husband's hand to her wedding-ring. His reply transpired 'I'll not fail. Which day is it? 'Friday week. I hope you will be able! 'I'll manage it. Why, it will be your birthday, too! 'Yes, I shall be so glad to be seventeen. I shall feel as if baby would respect me more. Oh!
No man who has not seen can guess how the zeal in them triumphs over sickness, sorrow, the ordinary private life of us! There was forwarded to Audley, from Lansmere Park, Nora's last letter. The postman had left it there an hour or two after he himself had gone. The wedding-ring fell on the ground, and rolled under his feet.
He did say nice things. Are you sure you can spare the card? I expect he admired you very much. He liked beautiful women. My mother was pretty, too; but I don't believe he ever gave her anything except a wedding-ring, and he had to give her that. 'Oh, Henrietta well, his daughter shall have all he gave me. 'If you're sure you don't want it. What are the stones?
