Էջ 206 - To him that hath shall be given ; and from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Էջ 202 - ... mother was asleep. She laid the book down, and before taking up her work, contemplated the figure and countenance of the sleeping woman. That figure, shapely even now, had once been, as Judith had again and again heard, one of the tallest, straightest, most winsome figures in all Danesdale. Her mother's suitors and admirers had been numerous, if not all eligible, and that countenance, now shrunken, with the anxiously corrugated brow, and the mouth drawn down in lines of care, discontent, and...
Էջ 59 - ... no forgiveness of sins. That is all. It is not an elaborate creed, but I think any one who really comprehends it and accepts it, will find that he must lead a life, to come up to its spirit, as stern and as pure as that which any system of theism can offer to him." " No forgiveness of sins," faltered Judith, more struck, apparently, by his words than seemed reasonable. " That is surely a hard lesson. Not even by repentance ? " He shook his head. " I don't see how even repentance can bring forgiveness,"...
Էջ 139 - I am giving up all this to embark on the stormy and uncertain sea of public life. But I hear within me a voice which urges me to take this course, and I can only ask you to believe me when I say that it is purely from a sense of duty to the best interests of our country, that I am seeking this position of greater freedom but not necessarily of less responsibility. Public life in this country has few rewards and many trials and discouragements. The prospect of work to be done is vast, and no one can...
Էջ 172 - It's very bare," cried Rhoda's clear, shill young voice, as she marched onward, not in the least ashamed of the said bareness. " And in winter it is so cold that she can never paint more than an hour a day, because fires are out of the question. With one servant, you can't expect coals to be carried, and grates cleaned, four stories up the house. Now see, Mr. Danesdale. I'll be showwoman. I know everything she has done. You sit there, in that chair. We'll have the animals first. Most of them are...
Էջ 79 - It seems to me that you and Miss Conisbrough get on very well together," observed his father good-naturedly. Bernard sat silent during this colloquy. What could Judith Conisbrough or her friends possibly be to him ? Had he not Lizzie at Irkford ? His forever ! Yet his face grew a little sombre as he listened. " Do we, sir ? Well, it is but a week to-day since I made her acquaintance, but I think that any man who didn't get on with her and her sisters — well, he wouldn't deserve to. Don't you ?"...
Էջ 152 - I am glad you have got all my uncle had to leave," she exclaimed, with passionate emphasis. ' ' The knowledge that you have it will be some comfort to me in my dreary existence, for it is and will be dreary." She rose now, quite decidedly, and went toward the door. He opened it for her, and they clasped hands silently, till he said, with a half-smile which had in it something wistful : " Goden Abend!" " Gode Nacht!" responded Judith, but no answering smile came to her lips — only a rush of bitter...
Էջ 31 - No, he does not know," she reflected. " I should be paralyzed by the possession of that money — of any of it. But it shows a generous mind to wish to give us some of it, after what mamma said this morning. He has had his troubles, too — any one can see that. I daresay he could tell a tale of how he has been neglected, and disappointed. His eyes are good — they are not afraid to meet yours. When they are not mocking you they are pleasant. Oh, I hope mamma will come to terms with him ! A long...
Էջ 125 - Sing you a song !" ejaculated Judith, amazed. And the request, considering the terms on which they stood, was certainly a calm one. "Yes, the song I overheard you singing on Sunday night, ' Goden Abend, Gode Nacht !' I want to hear it again." They now stood in the porch, and as Judith hesitated, and looked at him, she found his eyes bent upon her face, as if he waited less for a reply than for compliance with his request — or demand — she knew not which it was. She conquered her surprise ; tried...
