Possibly, however, the contrast of such a life the house would be furnished with highboys and gate-leg tables and oval, woven mats with his present one at Mrs. Ruddel's furnished him with a genuine case of homesickness, after all. How perfect would life be in such surroundings!
"But, doctor, she has never been away from me a single night in her life. She'd die of homesickness, and I know she'll never consent to leave me. Then suppose Jack should get worse " "We'll suppose nothing of the kind," he interrupted, brusquely. "Tell Becky to pack up her things. Leave Lloyd to me. I'll get her consent without any trouble." "Come, Colonel," he called, as he left the house.
Instead it shewed the candid face of a real homesickness, and it spoke with convincing and abominably aggravating plainness of Long Barton. The little hooded diligence was waiting in the hot white dust outside the station. "But yes. It is I who transport all the guests of Madame Chevillon," said the smiling brown-haired bonnetless woman who held the reins. Betty climbed up beside her.
Bruce remembered having seen his mother cry, through homesickness and loneliness, softly, uncomplainingly, as she went about her work in the ugly frame house back there on the bleak prairie. And he remembered the roars of rage in which Peroxide Louise had voiced her jealousy.
Noll's first pang of genuine homesickness came upon him here. It seemed as if he had not a friend this side of the wide, dark sea. This second summons met with no better success than the first. Noll turned away, went back down the steps, and there stopped to look about him.
In countries where military service is compulsory, and where inexperienced young men, torn suddenly from their families, are subjected to rigorous discipline in a strange and uncongenial environment, the suicidal impulse may be intensified by homesickness, loneliness, humiliation, and the monotony of camp or barrack life; but in our own country, where the army is filled by voluntary enlistment, and where the relations between officers and men are fairly sympathetic and cordial, there would seem to be fewer reasons for unhappiness and suffering than in the military service of Italy, Austria, or Russia.
"I scarcely ever played; I had no companions; I passed my hours in homesickness; I spent the whole night weeping in my bed. I sought to bring before my mind recollections of home, trifling memories of little things, little events. I thought incessantly of all I had left behind there. I became almost imperceptibly an over-sensitive youth to whom the slightest annoyances were terrible griefs.
The sea surrounded and isolated us, and the wind constantly swept over the moorland and over the great stretches of sandy beach. My nurse was also from the Island, of a Huguenot family, which descending from father to son had been with us for a long time; and she would say: "At home, on the Island," in such a way that with a wave of emotion I understood her great homesickness for it.
The Imperial and Coachella valleys shipped their products in at low cost, and as a gesture to those who might suffer from homesickness it was called New Los Angeles. Perhaps in relief from the fear and despair so recently dispelled, New Los Angeles began to boom from the moment the mayor first handed the key to a passing distinguished visitor.
It had put forth new powers, and learned the use of new faculties. Then that soul was called back to its body. This maiden this wonder among mortals is not a mortal, she is an exiled soul. I have seen her sit with tears streaming down her face, tears such as men shed in exile. For she is like a banished man who has only one feeling, a longing, yearning homesickness.
