The individual laid hold of, jumps up, and runs off at full speed, as if he intended to escape; the three, before occupied in limping and groaning, run with him to prevent this, and after three or four races, all four run over the place where the boys are covered up, and the boy, who had been trying to escape, is caught, and laid down near the other boys, and covered with dust.
"You ought to be proud of yourself, not ashamed!" I cried to him, trying to keep my eyes cold. "Heaven knows there's little enough to be proud of. You'd see that, if I bored you with my history and perhaps I will some day. But anyhow, I've nothing which I need to hide." "As if I didn't know that! But Bertie hates you." "I don't much blame him for that.
Day or night there was hardly a moment when she was not beside her, trying, by very force of love, to hold her back from the death to which she went with her slow and stately tread.

She was remorseful now, and bent forward to touch his shoulder, though still trying not to look him in the face, as if the more persuasively to beg him not to be angry with her. "Very well," she continued, looking thoroughly ashamed of herself, "I feel that I said a very foolish thing. I only did it just to try you. Take it as unsaid, and if I offended you, forgive me.
"I've loved you ever since you gave me that extraordinary drink with Worcester sauce in it on the boat." "They why didn't you say so before?" "I hadn't the nerve.

Your brother Ivan writes theological articles in joke, for some idiotic, unknown motive of his own, though he’s an atheist, and he admits it’s a fraud himself—that’s your brother Ivan. He’s trying to get Mitya’s betrothed for himself, and I fancy he’ll succeed, too. And what’s more, it’s with Mitya’s consent. For Mitya will surrender his betrothed to him to be rid of her, and escape to Grushenka.

No one remarked her entrance except that her mother, looking over her shoulder asked, "Where's your brother, Christine?"

He was trying to make up a form of words to convey this to her before the other two, when good fortune seemed to favour him, for brother and sister began as they were wont to do wrangling together.

No tired, discouraged mother in a railway car, trying to hush her crying infant, would ever fear that he would be annoyed or wish her and her child in Jericho. On the contrary, she would, if necessary, ask him to hold her baby for a moment, and the child would go to him unhesitatingly, so great was the mesmeric power he exercised over his fellow-creatures.
It was a good old Friend, whom everybody loved a-white-haired, pleasant-faced minister, whose words were always wise. Benjamin's parents showed him the picture.
