"Then they WILL scourge thee, the stony-hearted wretches! But oh, thou must not weep, I cannot bear it. Keep up thy courage I shall come to my own in time to save thee from this bitter thing, and I will do it!" When the King awoke in the morning, the women were gone. "They are saved!" he said, joyfully; then added, despondently, "but woe is me! for they were my comforters."
While his fingers were busy at his lap-stone he was thinking not of the coarse boots and shoes he was making, but of little Kitty how he meant to send her to school how he meant she should learn to read and write, and know a great deal more than ever he did, when he was young and how he meant to save up all his money in the old yarn stocking, till he got enough to put in the bank for Kitty, so that when he died she needn't go drifting round the world, trying to earn her bread and butter among cold, stony-hearted strangers.
"Yes; and he turned you down!" Surely now this must be a dream! "Red," too, was in a daze, suffering vicariously for his adored one. "Oh!" cried Angela, when a full realization of what Uncle Henry meant came over her. Uncle Henry went on: "Like your own payrent the stony-hearted old reptile!" "Oh, Gil " began Angela in tears. "Go on you ask 'em!" suggested Uncle Henry.
One of his judges, a little less stony-hearted than the rest, pointed out that "when the prisoner committed the crime martial law had not yet been proclaimed, nor the State," but it availed him nothing. He was taken out and shot. A Kafir named Carolus was also put through the form of trial and shot, for no crime at all that I can discover.
A miserable man, a stony-hearted man! The moment Joan was seated on the platform she closed her eyes and allowed her chin to fall; and so sat, with her hands nestling in her lap, indifferent to everything, caring for nothing but rest. And she was so white again white as alabaster.
No: I'M NOT A STONY-HEARTED CREATURE: and you ought to be ashamed to say so of your wife and the mother of your children, but you'll not make me cry to-night, I can tell you I was going to say that oh! you're such an aggravating man I don't know what I was going to say! "What for? I don't see that there's anything to thank Heaven about! I was going to say, I know the trick of public dinners.
And surely, brethren, there will come to us a good man that will rectify these monasteries again that be now supprest, because "God can of these stones raise up children to Abraham." 'Of the stones, perhaps, but less easily of the stony-hearted monks, who, with pitiless smiles, watched the abbot's sorrow, which should soon bring him to his ruin.
The Dodo is narrow-minded as to towels; expects me to wash on a freemason's apron without the trimming: when I asked for soap, gives me a stony-hearted something white, with no more lather in it than the Elgin marbles. The Dodo has seen better days, and possesses interminable stables at the back silent, grass-grown, broken-windowed, horseless.
I remember pausing before a wide door-step and wondering if perchance it was on this very one that the young De Quincey lay ill and faint while poor Ann flew as fast as her feet would carry her to Oxford Street, the "stony-hearted stepmother" of them both, and came back bearing that "glass of port wine and spices" but for which he might, so he thought, actually have died.
Just on the spot where these stony-hearted maidens met their deaths, seven pointed rocks appeared above the surface of the water, which up to the present day are still to be seen, a salutary warning to all the young maidens of the country. Lorelei
