So should I be worthier of her remembrance, if she yet remembered me worthier, at all events, to remember her. Thus the hours ebbed, and when I at length rose and turned my face homeward, the golden day was already bending westward.
He stooped suddenly to examine the dressing that the young doctor was showing him, but his face twitched with some strong emotion pride, professional jealousy, hatred were breaking down before a stronger and a worthier feeling. He turned abruptly and grasped the young doctor's hand. "Clay!" he cried, "it was a great piece of work, here, alone, and by lamplight.
Nachiketas, being a dutiful son and eager to atone for his father's inadequate sacrifice, tried to remind him thus indirectly that he had not fulfilled his promise to give away all his possessions, since he had not yet offered his own son, who would be a worthier gift than useless cattle.
"So you will live after all, my nephew," he said, "and for that I thank the giver of life and death, since by God, you are a gallant man a worthy child of the bloods of the Norman D'Arcy and of Uluin the Saxon. Yes, one of the best of them." "Speak not so, my uncle," said Godwin; "or at least, here is a worthier," and he patted the hand of Wulf with his lean fingers.
