"Your aunt's been worrying you?" "No, it is not that oh, it is nothing, nothing in the world. It is only that I am a a little fool, an ungrateful, silly, little fool!" And Hugh was frankly puzzled. "You're going to be as happy as the day is long, little girl," he said. "Tom loves you, worships the ground you walk on; I think you're going to be the happiest girl alive.
The wild worship of the Cappadocian Ma, or, as the Romans called her, Bellona, to whom the priests in their festal processions shed their own blood as a sacrifice, and the gloomy Egyptian worships began to make their appearance; the former Cappadocian goddess appeared in a dream to Sulla, and of the later Roman communities of Isis and Osiris the oldest traced their origin to the Sullan period.
Her parents and I have considered the affair settled for years. The young people will be so happy together." Here was news. I offered congratulations. "Thank you so much," she said.

If anything should happen to ah disturb the arrangement her heart would break, I am sure.

Hence we need not think it strange, if the Fakiers generally succeed in attempts of this nature; when we consider that they only have to deceive a people brought up in the most consummate ignorance; and that nothing can be more flattering to female vanity, than for a woman to suppose herself such a peculiar favorite of the divinity she worships, as to be chosen, from all her companions, to the honor of being admitted to his embraces; a favor, which her self-admiration will dispose her more readily to believe than examine.
"I don't believe she cares a particle for them," said our old friend, the gentlemanly scoundrel; "but she worships them because they worship him." "Well," sighed Lispenard, "that's the way things go in life. There's that fellow gets worshipped by every one, from the Irish saloon-keeper up to Leonore. While look at me! I'm a clever, sweet-tempered, friendly sort of a chap, but nobody worships me.
"Lionel, dear fellow, is usually so easy in his gait." "To see some one who worships at his shrine; said he would return in five minutes;" she answered, carelessly. "Oh! he did not say who?" "No, it might have been awkward." "Why? what do you mean, ma chere?" "It might relate to the hidden wife story." "Nonsense, Vaura; mark my words, he has no more a hidden wife than you have a hidden husband."

"You shall not be able to say that I sold you or tried to sell you. Of course it would be terribly hard for me to lose my footing and fall, and I feel that I should not rise again. Arnault worships success and worldly prestige. You are a part of his ambitious scheme.
She is to be married by a man who worships her, not a scientist, but a man with a heart she is going to be my wife." The old man sprang up and in a moment he stood facing me.
