There, he drew me aside for a moment out of hearing of the strangers about us. "Why should I take you away from your father?" he asked abruptly. "I am behaving very selfishly and I only see it now." "Make your mind easy," I said. "If I had not met you to-day, I should have gone to England to-morrow for Lucilla's sake."
May it be long ere government become in the New World, as in the Old, an armed police and fire-department, to protect property as it grows more worthless by being selfishly clutched in fewer hands, and keep God's fire of manhood from reaching that gunpowder of the dangerous classes which underlies all institutions based only on the wisdom of our ancestors.
Oh they would, they would an' thanks forever be to the Almighty! our boy is livin' and may yit be happy. Fardorougha, let us not fly into the face of God, who has in His mercy spared our son." "I'll sleep in his bed," replied the husband; "on the very spot he lay on I'll he." This was, indeed, trenching, and selfishly trenching upon the last mournful privilege of the mother's heart.
Camelford would not have her; he did not want her then; he was not going to want her at forty. For practical purposes Camelford was out of the question. She might marry somebody else altogether and fare worse. She might remain a spinster: she hated the mere name of spinster. The inky-fingered woman journalist that, if all went well, she might become: it was not her idea. Was she acting selfishly?
I know she feels her parting with you for a week or two as a serious trial, and I dare say it is a trial to her, but she must take it as one, and not selfishly spoil your pleasure. Now we will forget Hatty for a few minutes; there is something else troubling me. How are you to be fitted out for your visit, when I dare not ask your father for any more money?"
We gather up the tools that loved ones drop, and use them to carve out, selfishly, our own pleasures; we let their life go, as if it were no matter to keep it up upon the earth. We turn our backs, and go our ways, and leave saints' hands outstretched invisibly in vain. It was ever so bright and cheerful in this house into which death that was such a birth had come.
The stream of zeal sparkles with real fire, and not with reflex rays of sun and moon. Nature may be as selfishly studied as trade. It publishes itself in creatures, reaching from particles and spiculae through transformation on transformation to the highest symmetries, arriving at consummate results without a shock or a leap.
But notice. It seems a bit queer. The man they're talking about is outside the door. His own claim is left severely outside. Some make it read like this: He comes to His own, and they who are His own open the door a crack, maybe a fairly respectably wide crack. We all like the word Saviour. Yes, we cling tenaciously to that. Selfishly, would you say?
I thought she didn't do any work 'cause she was lazy I mean 'cause she didn't want to. I didn't know she was sick. What d'sease has she got?" "Well, as near as I can make out," answered the doctor gravely, "she has a case of acute imagination. She thinks she is mourning, but she is too selfishly wrapped up in her own grief to see the sorrow of others.
For no waste and no indolence is permitted, and in the end no selfishness. The attitude of the selfish human being is pure disintegration, a destroying microbe which crumbles and breaks down the whole constitution, not only ruining the body but the mind, and frequently making havoc of the very wealth that has been too selfishly guarded.
