+ AS I APPROACHED THE CITY I HEARD BELLS RINGING AND A LITTLE LATER I FOUND THE STREETS ASTIR WITH THRONGS OF WELL DRESSED PEOPLE IN FAMILY GROUPS WINDING THEIR WAY HITHER AND THITHER
+ LOOKING ABOUT ME I SAW A GENTLEMAN IN A NEAT BLACK DRESS SMILING AND HIS HAND EXTENDED TO ME WITH GREAT CORDIALITY
+ HE MUST HAVE REALIZED I WAS A STRANGER AND WISHED YOU TENDER HIS HOSPITALITY TO ME I ACCEPTED IT GRATEFULLY I CLASPED HIS HAND HE PRESSED MINE
+ WE GAZED FOR A MOMENT SLIGHTLY INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES
+ OF COURSE YOU ARE GOING THERE TOO I SAID TO MY FRIENDLY GUIDE
+ YES HE ANSWERED I CONDUCT THE WORSHIP I AM A PRIEST
+ AN IDOL I WHISPERED TAKEN BY SURPRISE
+ THEY WORSHIP GOD THAT THEY DID NOT EXIST
+ BUT THE GREEKS LOVED THEIR GODS I PROTESTED MY HEART CLAMOUR IN MY BREAST
+ NO I SAID IN A LOW VOICE
+ HE WAS AN IDOL THEN AND NOT A GOD
+ IT MADE ATHENS A SEA OF LIGHT IT CREATED THE BEAUTIFUL THE TRUE THE GOOD YES OUR RELIGION WAS DIVINE
+ IT HAD ONLY ONE FAULT INTERRUPTED MY GUIDE WHAT WAS THAT
+ I INQUIRED WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT HIS AUNTS WOULD BE IT WAS NOT TRUE
+ PRODUCE HIM
+ I WHISPERED TO MYSELF WHAT BLASPHEMY
+ THEN TAKING HEART I TOLD MY GUIDE HOW MORE THAN ONCE I HAD FELT APOLLO'S RADIANT PRESENCE IN MY HEART AND TOLD HIM OF THE IMMORTAL LINES OF HOMER CONCERNED THE DIVINE APOLLO
+ DO YOU DOUBT HOMER
+ I SAID TO HIM HOMER THE INSPIRED BARD
+ NO NO APOLLO IS NOT AN IDOL
+ HE IS A GOD AND THE SON OF A GOD
+ THE AIR WAS HEAVY WITH INCENSE A NUMBER OF MEN IN GORGEOUS VESTMENTS WERE PASSING TO AND FRO BOW AND IN KNEELING BEFORE THE VARIOUS LIVES AND IMAGES
+ OBSERVING MY ANXIETY TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANS OF ALL THIS MY GUIDE TOOK ME ASIDE AND IN A WHISPER TOLD ME THAT A PEOPLE WERE CELEBRATING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH THE OTHER BEAUTIFUL SAVIOUR JESUS THE SON OF GOD
+ FORGET APOLLO HE SAID WITH A SUGGESTION OF SEVERITY HIS VOICE
+ THERE IS NO SUCH PERSON HE WAS ONLY AN IDOL
+ IF YOU WERE TO SEARCH FOR APOLLO IN ALL THE UNIVERSE YOU WOULD NEVER FIND ANY ONE ANSWERING TO HIS NAME OR DESCRIPTION
+ I WANT TO SEE JESUS I HASTENED TURNING TOWARD HIM
+ WILL HE NOT BE HERE THIS MORNING
+ WILL HE NOT SPEAK TO HIS WORSHIPPERS I ASKED AGAIN
+ WILL HE NOT PERMIT THEM TO TOUCH HIM TO CARESS HIS HAND TO CLASP HIS DIVINE FEET TO INHEL THE AMBROSIAL FRAGRANCE OF HIS BREATH TO BASK IN THE GOLDEN LIGHT OF HIS EYES TO HEAR THE MUSIC OF HIS IMMACULATE ACCENTS
+ I ASKED MY EYES FEEL WITH WONDER AND MY VOICE QUIVERING WITH EXCITEMENT
+ WOULD NOT THAT THEN I VENTURE TO ASK IMPATIENTLY MAKE JESUS AS MUCH OF AN IDOL AS APOLLO
+ AND IF FAITH THAT JESUS IS A GOD PROVES HIM A GOD WHY WILL NOT FAITH IN APOLLO MAKE HIM A GOD
+ BUT I AM DETERMINED NOT ONLY TO KNOW IF IT IS POSSIBLE THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS BUT ALSO TO COMMUNICATE THAT TRUTH TO OTHERS
+ BUT THERE IS MORE OF A MORAL TONIC IN THE OPEN AND CANDY DISCUSSION OF A SUBJECT LIKE THE ONE IN HAND THAN IN A MULTITUDE OF PLATITUDES
+ I NEVER DELIVER A LECTURE IN WHICH I DO NOT EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IF FULL AND FREE EXPRESSION TO MY FAITH IN EVERYTHING THAT IS WORTHY OF FAITH
+ IF I DO NOT BELIEVE IN DOGMA IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN FREEDOM
+ OH HE TEARS DOWN BUT HE IS NOT BUILT UP IS ANOTHER CHRISISM ABOUT MY WORK IT IS NOT TRUE
+ NO PREACHER OR PRIEST IS MORE CONSTRUCTIVE
+ CLASPING TRUTH IN A JAIL YAGGING THE MOUTH OF THE STUDENT IS THAT BUILDING UP OR TEARING DOWN
+ WHEN BRINLL LIGHTED A NEW TORCH TO INCREASE THE LIE OF THE WORLD WHAT WAS HIS REWARD THE STAKE
+ COUNT YOUR RIGHTS POLITICAL RELIGIOUS SOCIAL INTELLECTUAL AND TELL ME WHICH OF THEM WAS CONQUERED FOR YOU BY THE PRIEST
+ I WISH TO TELL YOU SOMETHING
+ THE FIRST LISTLESS BE IMPERSONAL THE EPITHETS IRREVERENT BLASPHEMER ATHEIST AND INFIDEL ARE FLUNG AT A MAN NOT FROM PITY BUT FROM ENVY
+ NOT HAVING THE COURAGE OR THE INDUSTRY OF OUR NEIGHBOUR WHO WORKS LIKE A BUSY BEE IN THE WORLD OF MEN AND BOOKS SEARCHING WITH THE SWEAT OF HIS BROW FOR THE REAL BREAD OF LIFE WHAT IN THE OPEN PAGE AFORE HIM WITH HIS TEARS PUSHING INTO THE WEE HOURS OF THE NIGHT HIS QUEST AND MADE BY THE FAIREST OF ALL LOVES THE LOVE OF TRUTH WE EASE OUR OWN INDOLENT CONSCIENCE BY CALLING HIM NAMES
+ A METHOD OF FANCIFUL EXPLANATION OF A GIVEN PHENOMENON
+ THE MIND CRAZE FOR KNOWLEDGE THE CHILD ASKS QUESTIONS BECAUSE OF AN EMBONING DESIRE TO KNOW
+ NOW AND THEN THEY CAME CLOSE ENOUGH TO SNAP AT EACH OTHER
+ WITH THIS MITHOS THE PRONETI MAN WAS SATISFIED UNTIL HIS DEVELOPING INTELLIGENCE REALIZED ITS INANQUACY SCIENCE WAS BORN OF THAT REALIZATION
+ THE MYTH OF A ONE EYED PEOPLE LIVING IN INDIA HAS IN REPLACED BY ACCURATE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE HINDUS
+ AND THIS IS PRECISELY THE USE TO WHICH MEANS HAVE BEEN PUT
+ IS JESUS A MAN
+ THERE IS IN MAN A FACULTY FOR FICTION
+ IT THINKS LESS THAN IT GUESSES
+ IT IS REFLECTION WHICH INTRODUCES A BIT INTO THE MOUTH OF IMAGINATION CURBING ITS PACE AND SUBDUING ITS RELENTLESS SPIRIT
+ WE FEEL THE SPACE ABOUT AND OVER US WITH SPIRITS FAIRIES GODS AND OTHER INVISIBLE IN AIRY BEANS
+ WE COVERED THE RAINBOW WE REACHED OUT FOR THE MOON
+ OUR FEET NOT REALLY BEGINNING TO TOUCH THE FIRM GROUND UNTIL WE HAVE REACHED THE YEARS OF DISCRETION
+ SCIENCE WAS NOT BORN UNTIL MEN HAD MATURED
+ GROWN UP PEOPLE CREATE SCIENCE
+ THE CRADLE IS THE WOMB OF ALL THE FAIRIES AND FACE AM MANKIND
+ THE SCHOOL WAS THE BIRTHPLACE OF SCIENCE
+ RELIGION IS THE SCIENCE OF THE CHILD
+ IN THE DISCUSSION OF THIS SUBJECT I APPEAL TO THE MATURE NOT TO THE CHILD MIND
+ HE HAS GOD'S MOUTHPIECE AND NO ONE MAY DISAGREE WITH HIM
+ THE ONLY WAY I MAY COMMAND YOUR RESPECT IS TO BE REASONABLE
+ LET US PLACE OURSELVES ENTIRELY IN THE HANDS OF THE EVIDENCE
+ AS INTELLIGENT BEINGS WOULD DESIRE TO KNOW WHETHER THIS JESUS WHOSE WORSHIP IS NOT ONLY COSTING THE WORLD MILLIONS OF THE PEOPLE'S MONEY BUT WHICH IS ALSO DRAWING TO HIS SERVICE THE TIME THE ENERGIES THE AFFECTIONS THE DEVOTIONS AND THE LABORER HUMANITY IS A MYTH OR REALITY
+ A NUMBER OF OTHER DATES WERE OBSERVED WITH A CHRISTIAN CHURCH AT VARIOUS TIMES AS THE BIRTHDAY OF JESUS THE GOTHS WAS GIVE NO DATE AND APPEAR TO BE QUITE UNCERTAIN REALLY IGNORANT ABOUT IT
+ YET THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT HE WAS BORN ON THAT DAY
+ MIGHT HIS DISCREQUENCY AND HISTORICAL DOCUMENT TO SAY NOTHING ABOUT INSPIRATION
+ AGAIN MATTHEW SAYS THAT TO ESCAPE THE EVIL DESIGNS OF HEROD MARIAN JOSEPH WITH THE INFANT JESUS FLED INTO EGYPT LUKE SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THIS HURRIED FLIGHT NOR OF HEROD'S INTENTION TO KILL THE INFANT MESSIAH
+ WHEN WE COME TO THE MORE IMPORTANT CHAPTERS ABOUT JESUS WE MEET WITH BITTER DIFFICULTIES
+ WELL IT IS ALWAYS ON UP FRIDAY THAT THE CRUCIFIXION IS COMMEMORATED THE WEEK IN WHICH THE DAY OCCURS VARIES FROM YEAR TO YEAR
+ GOOD FRIDAY FALLS NOT BEFORE THE SPRING EQUINOX BUT AS SOON AFTER THE SPRING EQUINOX IS THE FULL MOON ALLOWS THUS MAKING THE CALCULATION TO DEPEND UPON THE POSITION OF THE SUN AND THE ZODIAC AND THE PHASES OF THE MOON
+ THE PAGAN AUSTERIA HAS BECOME A CHRISTIAN EASTER
+ BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF EVIDENCE ORIGIN OFFERS OF FALLING METAPHYNSICAL ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE SCEPTICAL SENSES ONE
+ IF WE ARE TO HAVE ANY MYTHOLOGY AT ALL HE SEEMS TO ARGUE WHY OBJECT TO ADDING TO IT THE MISS OF JESUS
+ THE IMMEDIATE COMPANIONS OF JESUS APPEAR TO BE ON THE OTHER HAND AS MYTHICAL AS HE IS HIMSELF
+ WHO WAS MATTHEW WHO WAS MARK
+ WHO WERE JOHN PETER JUDAS AND MARY
+ THERE IS ACTUALLY NO EVIDENCE THAT THEY EVER EXISTED
+ IF PETER EVER WENT TO ROME WITH A NEW DOCTRINE HOW IS IT THAT NO HISTORIAN HAS TAKEN NOTE OF HIM
+ HERE AGAIN WE SEE THE PRESENCE OF A MYTH
+ HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THEM
+ PETER PAUL JOHN JAMES JUDAS OCCUPY THE STAGE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY
+ IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE CONTEMPORARIES OF JESUS THE AUTHORS AND THE HISTORIANS OF HIS TIME DO NOT TAKE NOTICE OF HIM
+ COULD THEY HAVE BEEN IN A CONSPIRACY AGAINST HIM
+ HOWAS IS IT UNANIMOUS SCIENCE TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR
+ HOW THEN ARE WE TO DECIDE WHICH OF THE UNUMEROUS CANDIDATES FOR DIVINE HONOURS SHOULD BE GIVEN OUR VOTES
+ AND SUCH A FAITH IS NEVER FREE IT IS ALWAYS MAINTAINED BUT THE SWORD NOW AND BY HELL FAR HEREAFTER
+ YET THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE UTTERANCES ARE PUT IN JESUS MOUTH
+ ONLY A MYTHICAL JESUS COULD VIRTUALLY HAND OVER THE GOVERNMENT OF LEVERS TO QUARTERS WHO HAVE PETITIONS TO PRESS UPON HIS ATTENTION
+ MOREOVER IF JESUS COULD KEEP HIS PROMISE THERE WOULD BE TODAY NO MISERY IN THE WORLD NO ORPHANS NO CHILDLESS MOTHERS NO SHIPWRECKS NO FLOODS NO FAMINES NO DISEASE NO CRIPPLED CHILDREN NO INSANITY NO WARS NO CRIME NO WRONG
+ HAVE THESE PRAYERS BEEN ANSWERED
+ HOW MANY SELF DELUDED PROPHETS THESE EXTRAVAGANT CLAIMS HAVE PRODUCED
+ AND WHO CAN NUMBER THE BITTER DISAPPOINTMENTS CAUSED BY SUCH IMPOSSIBLE PROMISES
+ THE SAME WHICH A PREACHERS OF TO DAY GIVE HE PARRIED HIS ANSWER WITH MANY WORDS AND AT LENGTH SAID THAT THE PROMISE WAS BETAKEN WITH THE PROVISION THAT WHAT WE ASKED FOR WOULD BE GIVEN IF GOD THOUGHT IT FOR OUR GOOD
+ BUT HE SAID IF HE ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME I WILL DO IT AND IF IT WERE NOT SO I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
+ DID HE NOT MEAN JUST WHAT HE SAID
+ SELF EFFORT AND NOT PRAYER IS A REMEDY AGAINST IGNORANCE SLAVERY POVERTY AND MORAL DEGRADATION
+ IT WAS A NIGHT WHEN SORROW MAY COME TO THE BRIGHTEST WITHOUT CAUSING ANY GREAT SENSE OF INCONGRUITY WHEN WITH IMPRESSIBLE PERSONS LOVE BECOMES SOLICITOUSNESS HOPE SINKS TO MISGIVING AND FAITH TO HOPE WHEN THE EXERCISE OF MEMORY DOES NOT STIR FEELINGS OF REGRET AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR AMBITION THAT HAVE BEEN PASSED BY AND ANTICIPATION DOES NOT PROMPT TO ENTERPRISE
+ STILL TOO AT CLOSE OBSERVER THEY ARE JUST AS PERCEPTIBLE THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEIR METEOR OF MANIFESTATION ARE LESS TRITE AND FAMILIAR THAN SUCH WELL KNOWN ONES AS THE BURSTING OF THE BUDS OR THE FALL OF THE LEAF
+ IF ANYTHING COULD BE DARKER THAN THE SKY IT WAS THE WALL AND IF ANYTHING COULD BE GLOOMIER THAN THE WALL IT WAS THE RIVER BENEATH
+ AN INDESCRIBABLE SUCCESSION OF DULL BLOWS PERPLEXING IN THEIR REGULARITY SENT THEIR SOUND WITH DIFFICULTY THROUGH THE FLUFFY ATMOSPHERE
+ NOT LONG AFTER A FORM MOVED BY THE BRINK OF THE RIVER
+ THIS WAS ALL THAT WAS POSITIVELY DISCOVERABLE THOUGH IT SEEMED HUMAN
+ THE SHAPE WENT SLOWLY ALONG BUT WITHOUT MUCH EXERTION FOR THE SNOW THOUGH SUDDEN WAS NOT AS YET MORE THAN TWO INCHES DEEP
+ AT THIS TIME SOME WORDS WERE SPOKEN ALOUD ONE
+ TWO THREE
+ FOUR FIVE
+ BETWEEN EACH UTTERANCE THE LITTLE SHAPE ADVANCED ABOUT HALF A DOZEN YARDS
+ HERE THE SPOT STOPPED AND DWINDLED SMALLER
+ THEN A MOUSEL OF SNOW FLEW ACROSS THE RIVER TOWARDS THE FIFTH WINDOW
+ THE RIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN SEEN BY DAY TO BE OF THAT DEEP SMOOTH SOUGHT WHICH RACES MIDDLE AND SIDES WITH THE SAME GLIDING PRECISION ANY IRREGULARITIES OF SPEED BEING IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED BY A SMALL WHIRLPOOL
+ THE WINDOW STRUCK AGAIN IN THE SAME MANNER
+ THEN A NOISE WAS HEARD APPARENTLY PRODUCED BY THE OPENING OF THE WINDOW
+ SAID THE BLURRED SPOT IN THE SNOW TREMULOUSLY
+ I ASKED WHICH WAS YOUR WINDOW FORGIVE ME
+ WHEN I SAID THAT YOU MIGHT
+ OH MUST I IT IS WHEN SHALL WE BE MARRIED FRANK
+ I HAVE MONEY
+ AND WE LIVE IN TWO PARISHES DO WE WHAT THEN
+ IF I SAID SO OF COURSE I WILL
+ THE FACT IS I FORGOT TO ASK
+ GOOD NIGHT GOOD NIGHT
+ THINGS ARRANGE THEMSELVES
+ BUT THE COUNTESS NEVER GAVE WAY AN INCH
+ THE FOLLOWING WAS THE ANSWER WHICH SHE RETURNED TO THE NOTE WRITTEN TO HER BY AUNT JULIA
+ I SHOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO DRINK WINE WITH THEM AND SHOULD DO A HUNDRED THINGS WHICH WOULD MAKE THEM THINK ME A BEAST
+ BUT THE GIRL BEGGED FOR SOME DAY
+ IT WAS A MATTER THAT REQUIRED TO BE CONSIDERED
+ PRIDE IN HIM MIGHT BE AS WEAK AS PRIDE IN THEM
+ IF THEY WERE PUT OUT THEIR HANDS TO HIM WHY SHOULD HE REFUSE TO PUT OUT HIS OWN
+ OUR TAILOR RECEIVED HIM COURTEOUSLY HAD HE LEARNED TO LIKE THE MAN UNDERSTANDING THAT HE HAD BEHAVED WITH HONESTY AND WISDOM IN REGARD TO HIS CLIENT AND RESPECTING HIM AS ONE OF THE WORKERS OF THE DAY BUT HE DECLARED THAT FOR THE LOVE OF FAMILY AS A FAMILY HE DID NOT CARE FOR THEM PARTICULARLY
+ THEY ARE PULLS ASUNDER FROM ME HE SAID
+ BUT BY YOUR GOOD FORTUNE AND MERIT IF YOU WILL ALLOW ME TO SAY SO YOU HAVE TRAVELLED FROM THE ONE POLE VERY FAR TOWARDS THE OTHER
+ AT PRESENT I THINK THAT THE SENSE OF THE COUNTRY IS IN FAVOUR OF AN ARISTOCRACY OF BIRTH
+ WHEN YOU WERE FOREMOST AMONG THEM DID YOU NOT WISH TO BE THEIR MASTER
+ IT IS ONE TO WHICH ALL LEGISLATIVE AND ALL HUMAN EFFORTS SHOULD AND MUST TEND
+ WHEN YOU MAKE MUCH WATER BOIL MISTER THRAY TO SOME OF IT WILL PROBABLY BOIL OVER
+ I QUITE AGREE WITH YOU THAT THE SILK GOWNS SHOULD BE KEPT FOR THEIR ELDERS AND SO THE CONVERSATION WAS ENDED
+ WITH HER THERE WAS A REAL WISH THAT THE POLES MIGHT BE JOINED TOGETHER BY HER FUTURE HUSBAND
+ IF YOU READY WHICH IT YOU SHALL GO HE SAID
+ AND A BLUE ONE TO BE MARRIED IN ALAS ME
+ MUST I HAVE A PINK SILK GOWN TO WALK ABOUT IN EARLY IN THE MORNING
+ AS SOON AS YOU'VE DARNED MY WORST IN STOCKING SWEETHEART
+ MY KIND HAD TO
+ AND NOW I'LL SIT DOWN AND WRITE A LETTER TO MY LORD
+ HE HOPED NOTHING SERIOUS HAD HAPPENED TO DRAG HER OUT AT SUCH AN UNTOWARD TIME
+ BUT AS THE RAIN GAVE NOT THE LEAST SIGN OF CESSATION HE OBSERVED I THINK WE SHALL HAVE TO GO BACK NEVER
+ WHY NOT HE INQUIRED
+ I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU SHOULD NAME ME WHILE I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF YOU
+ OH BUT YOU KNOW ME ABOUT ME AT LEAST
+ I SHOULD THINK SO
+ HE IS MY FATHER INDEED
+ BUT WE HAVE BEEN TENANTS OF SYLVANIA CASTLE ON THE ISLAND HERE THIS SEASON
+ MY FATHER'S IS A COMPARATIVELY HUMBLE RESIDENCE HARD BY
+ BUT HE COULD AFFORD A MUCH BIGGER ONE IF HE CHOSE
+ YOU'VE HAD SAID
+ I DON'T KNOW HE DOESN'T TELL ME MUCH OF HIS AFFAIRS
+ MY FATHER SHE BURST OUT SUDDENLY IS ALWAYS SCOLDING ME FOR MY EXTRAVAGANCE
+ WAS THAT THIS EVENING
+ THERE ON THE NETS THEY SAT
+ JOSCELYN THOUGHT IT STRANGE THAT HE SHOULD BE THROWN BY FATE INTO A POSITION TO PLAY THE SON OF THE MONTAGUES TO THIS DAUGHTER OF THE CAPITALS
+ NO I SHALL GO ON AND GET A LODGING IN BUBBATHTOWN IF EVER I REACH IT
+ IT IS SO LATE THAT THERE WILL BE NO HOUSE OPEN EXCEPT A LITTLE PLACE NEAR THE STATION WHERE YOU WON'T CARE TO STAY
+ THE ISLAND WAS AN ISLAND STILL
+ THEY HAD NOT REALIZED THE FORCE OF THE ELEMENTS TILL NOW
+ HE SITTED HER BODILY BY ENCIRCLING HER WAIST WITH HIS ARM AND SHE MADE NO OBJECTION
+ HE PITIT HER AND WHILE HE WONDERED AT IT ADMIRED HER DETERMINATION
+ THEIR APPLICATION FOR A MISSION LED TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF A BOLT AND THEY STOOD WITHIN THE GASLIGHT OF THE PASSAGE
+ HE COULD SEE NOW THAT THOUGH SHE WAS SUCH A FINE FIGURE QUITE AS TALL AS HIMSELF SHE WAS BUT IN THE BLOOM OF YOUNG WOMANHOOD
+ I WILL TELL THE SERVANT TO DO THIS AND SEND YOU UP SOMETHING TO EAT
+ HE FELT RAVENOUSLY HUNGRY HIMSELF AND SET ABOUT DRYING HIS CLOTHES AS WELL AS HE COULD AND EATING AT THE SAME TIME
+ BY THE AID OF SOME TEMPORARY RAPS AND SOME SLIPPERS FROM THE CUPBOARD HE WAS CONTRIVED TO MAKE HIMSELF COMFORTABLE WHEN THE MAID SERVANT CAME DOWNSTAIRS WITH A DAMP ARMFUL OF WOMAN'S RAIMENT
+ YOU ARE SLEEPY MY GIRL SAID PEARSON
+ HE AGAIN BECAME CONSCIOUS OF THE CHANGE WHICH HAD BEEN INITIATED DURING THE WALK
+ THE WELL BELOVED WAS MOVING HOUSE HAD GONE OVER TO THE WEARER OF THIS ATTIRE
+ AND HOW ABOUT LITTLE OF HIS CARROLL
+ SHE DRAWS CLOSE AND SATISFIES
+ HE COULD NOT FORGET MISSUS PANAVEN'S EYES THOUGH HE REMEMBERED NOTHING OF HER OTHER FACIAL DETAILS
+ AFTERWARDS THEY KEPT A PART AWHILE IN THE DRAWING ROOM FOR FORM'S SAKE BUT EVENTUALLY GRAVITATED TOGETHER AGAIN AND FINISHED THE EVENING IN EACH OTHER'S COMPANY
+ BUT THIS WAS NOT ALL
+ BUT WAS HE ABLE
+ IT WAS UNFAIR TO GO FURTHER WITHOUT TELLING HER EVEN THOUGH HITHERTO SUCH EXPLICITNESS HAD NOT BEEN ABSOLUTELY DEMANDED
+ HE DETERMINED TO CALL IMMEDIATELY ON THE NEW INCARNATION
+ SHE LIVED NOT FAR FROM THE LONG FASHIONABLE HAMPTONSHIRE SQUARE AND HE WENT THITHER WITH EXPECTATIONS OF HAVING A HIGHLY EMOTIONAL TIME AT LEAST
+ BUT SOMEHOW THE VERY BELLPOLE SEEMED COLD ALTHOUGH SHE HAD SO EARNESTLY ASKED HIM TO COME
+ RAISING HER EYES IN A SLIGHTLY INQUIRING MANNER FROM THE BOOK SHE WAS READING SHE LEANT BACK IN HER CHAIR AS IF SOAKING HERSELF IN LUXURIOUS SENSATIONS WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM AND REPLIED TO HIS GREETING WITH A FEW COMMONPLACE WORDS
+ JUST AS THEY TURN THE DEARER INTO PORT IN THE SPACE OF A SINGLE NIGHT SO THIS OLD AIR HAS BEEN TAKEN AND DOCTOR AND TWISTED ABOUT AND BROUGHT OUT AS A NEW POPULAR DITTY INDEED
+ SHE THAWED A LITTLE AND THEN THEY WENT ON TO TALK ABOUT HER HOUSE WHICH HAD BEEN NEWLY PAINTED AND DECORATED WITH GREENISH BLUE SATIN UP TO THE HEIGHT OF A PERSON'S HEAD AN ARRANGEMENT THAT SOMEWHAT IMPROVED HER SLIGHTLY FADED THOUGH STILL PRETTY FACE AND WAS HELPED BY THE AWNINGS OVER THE WINDOWS
+ YES I HAVE HAD MY HOUSE SOME YEARS SHE OBSERVED COMPLACENTLY AND I LIKE IT BETTER EVERY YEAR
+ DON'T YOU FEEL LONELY IN IT SOMETIMES OH NEVER
+ WHAT AN UNCIVIL THING TO SAY SHE MURMURED IN SURPRISE
+ IT IS RATHER UNCIVIL
+ AS A PUNISHMENT SHE DID NOT RING THE BELL BUT LEFT HIM TO FIND HIS WAY OUT AS HE COULD
+ I SAW HIM AT LADY GENERAL CLIFFSY OTHER NIGHT
+ JOSIAN PEARSTONE
+ OH DIDN'T HE MARRY HER
+ SAID MISSUS PINENAVEN WITH A START
+ BUT JOSCELYN WAS RECEDING FROM THE PRETTY WIDOW'S HOUSE WITH LONG STRIDES
+ LADY ALICE HAD LEFT THE DRAWING ROOM FOR A MOMENT TO SEE THAT ALL WAS RIGHT IN THE DINING ROOM AND WHEN HE WAS SHERNIAN THERE STOOD ALONE IN THE LAMPLIGHT NICCOLOPINE AVEN
+ SHE HAD BEEN THE FIRST ARRIVAL
+ AS THE OTHER GUESTS DROPPED IN THE PAIR RETREATED INTO A SHADY CORNER AND SHE TALKED BESIDE HIM TILL ALL MOVED OFF FOR THE EATING AND DRINKING
+ HE HAD NOT BEEN APPOINTED TO TAKE HER ACROSS TO THE DINING ROOM BUT AT THE TABLE FOUND HER EXACTLY OPPOSITE
+ THE SPRING IN THE PRESENT CASE WAS THE ARTISTIC COMMENDATION SHE DESERVED AND CRAVED
+ THE LADY ON JUSTINANT'S LEFT WIFE OF A LORD JUSTICE OF APPEAL WAS IN LIKE MANNER TALKING TO HER COMPANION ON THE OUTER SIDE SO THAT FOR THE TIME HE WAS LEFT TO HIMSELF
+ IT CAME FROM THE WIFE OF ONE OF HIS FATHER'S FORMER WORKMEN AND WAS CONCERNING HER SON WHOM SHE BEGGED JOSCELYN TO RECOMMEND AS CANDIDATE FOR SOME POST IN TOWN THAT SHE WISHED HIM TO FILL
+ WHAT IS NECESSARY TO THE COMPLETENESS OF THE STORY AT THIS STAGE IS NOT TO RECAPITULATE BUT TO TAKE UP SOME OF THE LOOSE ENDS OF THREADS WOVENING AND FOLLOW THEM THROUGH UNTIL THE CLEAR AND COMPREHENDS THE PICTURE OF EVENTS CAN BE SEEN
+ THE WAY OF THE INVENTOR IS HARD
+ HE CAN SOMETIMES RAISE CAPITAL TO HELP HIM WORKING OUT HIS CRUDE CONCEPTIONS BUT EVEN IT IS FREQUENTLY DONE AT A DISTRESSFUL COST A PERSONAL SURRENDER
+ WHEN THE RESOUND IS ACHIEVED THE INVENTION MAKES ITS APPEAL ON THE SCORE OF ECONOMY A MATERIA ARE OF EFFORT AND THEN LABORER FROM THE WAITES WITH CRUSHING AND TYRANNICAL SPIRIT DISMISS THE APARAGUS OF FORBIDD IS VERY USED
+ POSSIBLY OUR NATIONAL OPDASM AS REBUTING THE VENTIAN IS SEEKING THE HIGH GOOD KNIT SOME CHECK
+ POSSIBLY THE LETTERS WOULD TRAVEL TOO FAST AND TOO FAR ON THE ROAD OF PERFECTION IF CONSERVED DID NOT ALSO PLAY SALUTARY PART IN INSISTING THAT THE PROCESSION MOVE FORWARD ASSE HO
+ ON THE CONTRARY THE CONDITIONS FOR ITS EXCEPTIONS HAD BEEN WOTTEN FAST
+ YET THE VERY VULGAR OF THE ELECTRIC ART MADE HARDER THE ARRIVAL OF THE INCANDESCENT
+ A NUMBER OF PARENT ARCHLINING COMPANIES WERE IN EXISTENCE AND A GREAT MANY LOCALCOMPANIES HAD BEEN CALLED INTO THE UNDER FRENCH FOR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS AND TO EXECUTE REGULAR CITYTIC CONTRACTS FOR THE STREET LINING
+ THUS IN A CURIOUS MANNER THE MODERN ART OF A LATER LINING WAS IN A VERY TRUE SENSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF WITH INTENSE REVERIES AND JEALOUSIES WHICH WERE NONE THE LESS REAL BECAUSE THEY WERE BUT TEMPORARY AND OCCURRING FELT WHERE ULTIMATE EATING OF THE FORCE WAS INEVITABLE
+ HENCE TWENTY YEARS AFTER THE FIRST ABVIN STATION WERE ESTABLISHED THE METHODS THEY INVOLVED COULD BE FAIRLY CREDITED WITH NO LESS THAN SIXTY SEVEN PER CENT
+ IT WILL BE READILY UNDERSTOOD THAT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS THE MODERN LINING COMPANY SUPPLIES TO ITS CUSTOMERS BOTH INCANDESCENT AND ARGINING FREQUENTLY FROM THE SAME DIAMEAU ELECTRIC MACHINERY AS THE SOURCE OF CURRENT AND THAT THE OLD FOOD AS BETWEEN THE RIVAL SYSTEMS HAS DIED OUT
+ IN FACT FOR SOME YEARS PAST THE PRESIDENTS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC LIGHT ASSOCIATION HAVE BEEN CHOSEN ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY FROM AMONG THE MANAGERS OF THE GREAT ADDISON LINING COMPETENCE IN THE LEADING CITIES
+ THE OTHER STRONG OPPOSITION TO THE INCANDESCENT LIGHT CAME FROM THE GAS INDUSCREW
+ THERE ALSO THE MOST PETER FEELING WAS SHOWN
+ THE GAS MANAGER DID NOT LIKE ARK LIGHT BUT IT INTERFERED ONLY WITH HIS STREET SERVICE WHICH WAS NOT HIS LARGE SOURCE OF INCOME BY ENEMIES
+ HERE AGAIN WAS GIVEN THE MOST CONVINCING DEMONSTRATION OF THE TRUTH THAT SUCH AN ADDITION TO THE RESOURCES OF MANKIND ALWAYS CARRIES WITH IT UNSUSPECTED BENEFITS EVEN FOR ITS ANIMIST
+ THIS WAS NOT LONG NO UNIVERSALLY THE SPIRIT IS SHOWN AND TO DAY A HUNDREDS OF CITIZE THE ELECTRIC AND GAS PROGRESS ARE UNITED UNDER THAT ONE MANAGEMENT WHICH DOES NOT FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PUSH IN THE FRIENDLY AND PROGRESSIVE WAY THE USE OF BOTH ILLUMINENCE
+ THE MOST CONSPICUOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS IDENTITY OF INTEREST IS GIVEN IN NEW YORK ITSELF
+ SO MUCH FOR THE EARLY OPPOSITION OF WHICH THERE WERE PERSPLENDENT
+ BUT IT MAY BE QUESTIONED WHETHER INERTIA IS NOT EQUALLY TO BE DREADED WITH ACTIVE EWELL
+ OF COURSE A GREY MANY COUNTS WERE WRITTEN AND RAT BUT WHILE DANIEL INTEREST WAS AROUSED IT WAS NECESSARILY APATHETIC
+ WE GOT IT AT THE GREAT BARGAIN AND ONLY PAID US MORE SOME DAM IN THE BALLAST AND WOODIGE
+ WE SAW THEM FOR FORTY CENTS BUT THEY WERE ONLY ABOUT TWENTY OR THIRTY THOUSANDS OF THEM
+ THE FOURTH YEAR I GOT IT DONE TO THIRTY SEVEN CENTS AND I MADE ALL THE MONEY OUT IN ONE YEAR THAT I HAD LOST PREVIOUSLY
+ ONE OF THE INCIDENTS WHICH CAUSED A VERY GREAT CHEAPENING WAS THAT WHEN WE STARTED WHEN OF THE IMPORTANT PROCESSES HAD BEGUN BY EXPERTS
+ AFTER FEELING AROUND FOR SOME DAYS I GOT A CLUE HOW TO DO IT
+ A THEN MADE ANOTHER MACHINE WHICH DID THE WORD NICELY
+ INCIDENTALLY HE MAY BE DOUBTED AS ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE PROBLEM BROUGHT TO ALLISON THAT WHILE HE HAD THE FACTORY AT HARRISON AND IMPORTING THE CHINESE TRADER WENT TO HIM AND WANTED A DYNAMO TO BE RUN BY HINT POWER
+ FOR MAKING THE DYNAMOS ADDISON SECURED AS NOTED IN THE PRECEDING CHAPTER THE ROACH I WORKED ON GO WORK STREETS NEW YORK AND THIS WAS ALSO EQUIPPED
+ TO SICK MUND BERGMANN WHO HAD WORKED PRIVISLY WITH ADDISON UNTILLIFF ON THE PARADOSCENT PHONOGRAPHS AND WAS ALREADY MAKING EDISON SPECIALITUS IN A SMALL WAY IN A LOFT ON LOOSER STREET NEW YORK WAS DESIGNED AS OF CONSTRUCTING SOCKETS FIXTURES METERS FIFTY FUSES NUMEROUS OUT OF DETAILS
+ IN THE EARLY PART OF EIGHTEEN EIGHTY ONE THE EDISON ELAPTUARY LIGHT COMPANY LEAST AOUD BSHAW MANSION AT SIXTY FIVE FIFTH AVENUE CLOSE TO FORDING STREET FOR HIS HEADQUARTERS AND SHOW ROOMS
+ THIS WERE AS ONE OF THE FINEST HOMES IN THE CITY OF THAT PERIOD AND ITS ACQUISITION WAS A PREMOINED REPLY OF THE SURRENDER OF THE FAMOUS RESTON SHOULD AVENUE TO COMMERCE
+ THEY EXPERIENCED WITH A LITTLE GAS ENGINE WAS RATHER STARTLING
+ ONE DAY IT WAS NOT GOING VERY WELL AND IT WENT DOWN TO THE MAN IN CHARGE AND GOT EXPLORING AROUND
+ FOR THE NEXT FOUR OR FIVE YEAR SIXTY FIVE WAS A VERITABLE BIVE AND NIGHT
+ THE ROUTINE WAS VERY MUCH THE SAME AS THAT AT THE LABORATORY IN ITS OTHER NECK LIGHT OF THE CLERK
+ I WAS TELLING THE GENTLEMEN ONE DAY THAT I COULD NOT KEEP A SECRET EVEN IF I LOCKED THEM MIGHT BE MY DESK THEY WOULD BREAK IT OPEN
+ HE SUGGESTED TO ME THAT HE HAD A FRIEND OVER ON EIGHTH AVENUE WHO MADE A SUPERIOR GRATED CIGARS AND WHO WOULD SHOW THEM A TRICK
+ HE SAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE SOME OF THEM MADE UP WITH HAIR AND OH PAPER AND I COULD PUT THEM IN WITHOUT A WORD AND SEE THE RESULT
+ I THOUGHT NO MORE ABOUT THE MATTER
+ I DIDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT IT
+ I WAS TOO BUSY ON OTHER THINGS TO DENOTES
+ SPEAKING OF THOSE DAYS OF NIGHTS ANDISON SAYS YEARS AGO ONE OF THE GREAT VIOLINISTS WITH RHAMINE
+ WHO WOULD TALK WITH ME BUT I NEVER ASKED HIM TO BRING HIS VIOLIN
+ ONE NIGHT HE CAME WITH HIS FILING ABOUT TWELVE O'CLOCK
+ AFTER THAT EVERY TIME HE CAME TO NEW YORK HE USED TO KAREKIFY LATE A NIGHT WITH HIS VIOLINCH
+ ANOTHER VISITOR WHO WOULD USED TO GIVE US A GOOD DEAR AMUSEMENT AND PLEASURE WAS CAPTAIN SHAH THE HEAD OF LONDON FIBREYGATE
+ HE WILL GO OUT AMONG THE FIRE LADIES AND HALF A GREAT TIME
+ SPEAKING OF TELL HIS DAUGHTERS I ONCE GOT TELLING A MAN STORIES AT THE HARRISON LANDORY IN A YARD AS HE WAS LEAVING
+ IT WAS WINTER AND HE WAS ALL IN FIRST
+ I HAD NOTHING LONG TO PROTECT ME AGAINST THE CODE
+ THEN A GUB PLURARY AND HAD TO BE SHIPPED TO FLORIDA FOR CURE
+ HE HAD MERELY ENJOYED THE DELIGHTS OF ANXIOUS ANTICIPATION AND A PERILOUS PLEASURE OF FACTING ALLISON'S EXPERIMENTS
+ NOW ACTIVE EXPLOITATION WAS REQUITED
+ LINTON HIS GOAT AND GLORY
+ THEY SAY BEST MAN ARE MODED OUT OF THOUGHTS AND FOR THE MOST BECOME MUCH MORE THE BETTER FOR BEING A LITTLE BAD
+ STANDING ON THE BROKEN COLUMN OF THE OH STEEPER THREE HUNDRED FEET ABOVE PRAYNE ROAST HILL WILLIAM STRUCK AN ATTITUDE OF THE THEATRICO FASHION AN UTTER THE FALLING AREATORICAL FLIGHT
+ GLORIOUS LONDON
+ SAD HOW SAD TO THINK THAT THE DAY WILL COME WHEN NOT A VAST EDGE OF THIS WONDERFUL MESS OF HUMAN ENERGY SHALL REMAIN WHERE THE CRY OF THE WHARF BAD AND BEATEN SHE ONLY BE HEARD AND NATURE AGAIN RESUME HER RUSTIC SPLENDID DESOLATION
+ THE DEVIL WAS HEAVEN WAS THE RESORT FOR ACTORS AUTHOURS BOHEMIAN FLOORS AND LADIES WHO DID NOT RETIRE EARLY TO THEIR DOWNING COUCHES
+ WILLIAM AND MY SOUND SOON FOUND REST IN DEEP SLUMBERED AND WAFTED AWAY INTO A DREAMLESS RIM OUR TIED BODIES LAY IN THE INFOLDING ARMS AND MORPHISTS UNTIL THE POTTER KNOCKED AT OUR DOOR NEXT MORNING AS THE CLOCK OF THE TOWER STRUCK THE HOUR OF NINE
+ ON FIRST SIDE OF THE SUN RISING LINE OF GIVE US GREAT EXPECTATIONS OF FAME AND FORTUNE FOR SURELY ALL WE HAD WAS GLOWING EXPECTATIONS
+ OFT EXPECTATION FOWLS AND MOST OFT THERE WERE MOST A PROMISES AND OFT A HEADS WHERE HOPE IS COLDEST AND DESPAIR MOST FITS
+ DUSES ONE DOUBLE WINXES TURBICAL
+ WELLUM TO THE GREAT AMAZEMENT OF THE DELLER FLUNG A GUINEA IN THE GENAPARTE WHICH WERE IMMEDIATELY TAPPED BY JACK WHILE THE OTHERS LOOKED ON EXILING EXPECTATION
+ THE PLIGHT JACK REPLIED ALL RIGHT SIR TAKE A WORD FOR IT
+ I HAVE SENT MY LIFE UPON THE CAST I WILL STAND THE HAZARD OF THE DIE
+ I IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED IN HIS FOOTSTEPS AND FOUND HIM JOKING WITH A LANDLADY ABOUT A COUPLE OF INFANTS BOO PAPS SHE WAS FONDLING HER CAPACIOUS LAP
+ IF HE HAD JOBBED OUT OF A CLOUDS WHILE I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE PLEASED OR SURPRISED AND THE FEELING WAS RECIPROCCO
+ THE PREENING SHOP OF FOUL WAS OWING A SHORT DISTANCE FROM THE DEVIL'S TABAN AND WE WERE INVITED TO VISIT THE ESTABLISHMENT
+ JAMES RABBAGE GAZED FOR A MOMENT ON THE MANLY FORM A WILIM AND BLURRY OUT IN HIS BLUFF MANNER WHAT DO YOU KNOW
+ IN MY RECENT TRAVELS IN THE VEST I FELT THAT OUT THERE FREEDOM AS AN IDEA HAS BECOME FEEBLE AND INEFFECTUAL
+ THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING NOW WITH THE PEOPLE OF THE WEST
+ THEY ARE FLATTERED INTO BELIEVING THAT THEY ARE FREE AND THEY HAVE THE SOVEREIGN POWER IN THEIR HANDS
+ THUS IT HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE EVIDENT TO ME THAT THE IDEAL OF FREEDOM HAS GROWN TENUOUS IN THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE VEST
+ THE MENTALITY AS THAT OF A SLAVE OWNING COMMUNITY WITH A MUTILATED MULTITUDE OF MEN TIED TO ITS COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL TREADMILL
+ HE WHO CARES TO HAVE SLAVES MUST CHAIN HIMSELF TO THEM HE WHO BUILDS WALLS TO CREATE EXCLUSION FOR OTHERS BUILDS WALLS ACROSS HIS OWN FREEDOM HE WHO DISTRUSTS FREEDOM IN OTHERS LOSES HIS MORAL RIGHT TO IT
+ HAVE THEY QUIET A TRUE LOVE OF FREEDOM
+ THE GREAT EPIC OF THE CELL OF OUR PEOPLE THE MAHAPATER GIVES US A WONDERFUL VISION OF AN OVERFLOWING LIFE FULL OF THE FREEDOM OF INQUIRY AND EXPERIMENT
+ WHEN THE AGE OF THE BUDDHA CAME HUMANITY WAS STORED IN OUR COUNTRY TO ITS UTTER DEPTH
+ IT HUNTED INTO AN AGE OF INERT CONSTRUCTION
+ THE ORGANITY OF A VARIED AND ELASTIC SOCIETY GAVE WAY TO A CONVENTIONAL ORDER WHICH PROVED ITS ARTIFICIAL CHARACTER BY ITS INEXORABLE LAW OF EXCLUSION
+ LIFE HATH IT ANY QUALITIES I ADMIT BUT THEY ARE NATURAL AND ARE IN HARMONY WITH THEIR VITAL FUNCTIONS
+ BY SQUEEZING HUMAN BEINGS IN THE GRIPE OF AN INELASTIC SYSTEM AND FORCIBLY HOLDING THEM FIXED WE HAVE IGNORED THE LAWS OF LIFE IN GROWTH
+ WE HAVE FORCED LIVING CELLS INTO A PERMANENT PASSIVITY MAKING THEM INCAPABLE OF MOULDING CIRCUMSTANCE TO THEIR OWN INTRINSIC DESIGN AND OF MASTERING THEIR OWN DESTINY
+ OUR STUPEFACTION HAS BECOME SO ABSOLUTE THAT WE DO NOT EVEN REALIZE THAT THIS PERSISTENT MISFORTUNE DOGGING OUR STEPS FOR AGES CANNOT BE A MERE ACCIDENT OF HISTORY REMOVABLE ONLY BY ANOTHER ACCIDENT FROM OUTSIDE
+ THERE WILL BE INCAPABLE OF HOLDING A JUST FREEDOM IN POLITICS AND OF FIGHTING AND FREEDOM'S CAUSE
+ IT REPRESENTS THE ACTIVE ASPECT OF INERTIA WHICH HAS THE APPEARANCE OF FREEDOM BUT NOT ITS TRUTH AND THEREFORE GIVES RISE TO SLAVERY BOTH WITHIN ITS BOUNDARIES AND OUTSIDE
+ ON THE PRADSON HIDES WHERE HE HAD FALLEN WITH THE FLAG STAFF IN HIS HAND LAY PRINCE ANDREW BOLKONSKI BLEEDING PROFUSELY AND UNCONSCIOUSLY UTTERING A GENTLE PITEOUS AND CHILDLIKE MOON
+ SUDDENLY HE AGAIN FELT THAT HE WAS ALIVE AND SUFFERING FROM A BURNING LACERATING PAIN IN HIS HEAD
+ WAS HIS FIRST THOUGHT
+ HE FABLY MOANED HIS LEG AND UTTERED A WEAK SICKLY GROWN WHICH AROUSED HIS OWN PITY
+ LIFT THIS YOUNG MAN UP AND CARRY HIM TO THE DRESSING STATION
+ PRINCE ANDREW REMEMBERED NOTHING MORE HE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS FROM THE TERRIBLE PAIN OF BEING LIFTED OUT TO THE STRETCHER THE JOLTING WHILE BEING MOWED AND THE PROBING OF HIS WOUND AT THE DRESSING STATION
+ DURING THIS TRANSFER HE FELT A LITTLE STRONGER AND WAS ABLE TO LOOK ABOUT HIM AND EVEN SPEAK
+ HE ASKED ON SEEING THE PRISONERS
+ I COMMANDED HIS CODRON REPLIED RECK'NIN
+ PRINCE REBNON NAMED LIEUTENANT OF TELLINGLLAN
+ AFTER LOOKING AT HIM NAPOLEON SMILED
+ YOU THERE'S NO HINDRANCE TO COURAGE MUTTERED FOOTELLEN IN A FAILING VOICE
+ A SPLENDID REPLY SAID NAPOLEON
+ PRINCE ANDREW WHO HAD ALSO BEEN BROUGHT FORWARD BEFORE THE EMPEROR'S EYES TO COMPLETE THE SHOW OF PRISONERS COULD NOT FAIL TO ATTRACT HIS ATTENTION
+ HIS FACE SHONE WITH SELF SATISFACTION AND PLEASURE
+ THE SOLDIERS WHO HAD CARRIED PRINCE ANDREW HAD NOTICED AND TAKEN THE LITTLE GOLD ICON PRINCESS MARY HAD HUNG ROUND HER BROTHER'S NECK BUT SEEING THE FAVOR THE EMPEROR SHOWED THE PRISONERS THERE NOW HASTENED TO RETURN THE HOLY IMAGE
+ PRINCE ANDREW DID NOT SEE HOW AND BY WHOM IT WAS REPLACED BUT THE LITTLE I CAUGHT WITH ITS THIN GOLD CHAIN SUDDENLY APPEARED UPON HIS CHEST OUTSIDE HIS UNIFORM
+ HOW COULD IT HAD BEEN TO KNOW WHERE TO SEEK FOR HELP IN THIS LIFE AND WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER IT BEYOND THE GRAVE
+ HOW HAPPY AND CALM I SHOULD BE IF I COULD NOW SAY LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME
+ EITHER TO A POWER INDEFINABLE INCOMPREHENSIBLE WHICH I NOT ONLY CANNOT ADDRESS BUT WHICH I CANNOT EVEN EXPRESS IN WORDS THE GREAT OLD OR NOTHING SAID HE TO HIMSELF OR TO THAT GOD WHO HAS BEEN SEWN INTO THIS AMBULATE BY MARY
+ THE STRANGERS MOVED ON
+ THE QUIET HOME LIFE AND PEACEFUL HAPPINESS OF BALL HILLS PRESENTED ITSELF TO HIM
+ HE IS A NERVOUS BILIOUS SUBJECT SAID LARRY AND WILL NOT RECOVER
+ IT IS AT THE FOOT OF WOMAN THAT BE LAID THE LAURELS THAT WITHOUT A SMILE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN GAINED IT IS SO IMAGE THAT STRINGS THE LIAR OF THE POET THAT ANIMATES OF VOICE IN THE BLAZE OF ELOQUENT FACTION AND GUIDES HAVE DRAIN IN THE AUGUST TOILS OF STATELY COUNSELS
+ IS THERE NO HOPE FOR THEM SO FULL OF HOPE
+ IT MAKES THE HEART ACHE BUT TO PICTURE SUCH VICISSITUDES TO THEIR IMAGINATION
+ THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SUCH CHANGES CAN OCCUR FLICKS OVER THE MIND LIKE THE THOUGHT OF DEATH THE SCOURING ALLAH GAVE FANCY'S WITH ITS BACK LIKE WING AND TAINTING THE HEALTHY ATMOSPHERE OF HER HAPPINESS WITH ITS VENOMOUS EXPIRATIONS
+ MINE OWN
+ WHAT DID WHAT COULD YOU DO
+ I BET ABOUT MY CHAMBER LIKE A FILLY BIRD IN A CAGE
+ DO NOT THINK OF MOVING TO DAY
+ DO NOT KEEP THE MESSENGER AN INSTANT
+ KEEPS ON MY PONY
+ WRITE ONLY ONE WORD TO YOUR REALM HENRIETTA
+ FERDINAND TO HENRIETTA
+ GOD BLESS YOU MY HENRIETTA BY BELOVED BY MATCHLESS HENRIETTA
+ WHAT HAS THAT SEPARATION NOT COST ME
+ PANGS THAT I COULD NOT CONCEIVE ANY HUMAN MYSTERY GOOD OCCASION
+ AND YET I OUGHT TO BE GRATEFUL THAT HE WAS UNINJURED LAST NIGHT
+ I DARE NOT NOW OWN HOW FOOLISH I WAS
+ DO NOT BE ANGRY WITH YOUR HENRIETTA BUT I AM NERVOUS ABOUT CONCEALING OUR ENGAGEMENT FROM PAPA
+ DAYS MUST YOU LAUGH BEFORE YOU CAN REACH PATH AND I KNOW FERDINAND I KNOW YOUR OFFICE IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN YOU WILL CONFESS
+ BUT COME BACK MY OWN AS SOON AS YOU CAN AND WRITE TO ME AT THE PELLSHEFF IS AS YOU SETTLED
+ THE CONSCIOUSNESS THAT YOUR SONIA MAKES ME RESTLESS
+ I WISH TO MEET HIM BUT AS MUCH CALMNESS AS I CAN COMMAND
+ THAT TOO SIR YOU WILL OF COURSE UNDERTAKE
+ THEN SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED HE HAS SOME SPECIAL INFORMATION SOME GREAT MEALS
+ WHEN BLOCK APPEARED IT WAS EVIDENT THAT SOMETHING HAD GONE WRONG WITH HIM
+ GONE NOW JUST WHEN HE MOST WARNED HIM NEVER
+ IDIOT TRIPLE IDIOT
+ YOU SHALL BE DISMISSED DISCHARGED FROM THE TSAR YOU'RE A DISGRACE TO THE FALSE
+ IT IS THAT OR YOUR GREAT GLUTTONY
+ MY GENTLEMAN MADE HIMSELF NO PLEASANT
+ WELL AT ANY RATE FOR MY SINS I ACCEPTED
+ WE ENTERED THE FIRST RESTAURANT THAT OF THE REUNITED TRANCE YOU KNEW IT PERHAPS MONSIEUR
+ I HAD NO FEAR OF HIM NOT TILL THE VERY LAST WHEN HE PLAYED ME THIS ABLE TURN
+ I SUSPECTED NOTHING WHEN HE BROUGHT OUT HIS POCKET BOOK IT WAS STUFFED FIRM ASSIER I SAW THAT AND MY CONSCIENCE INCREASED CALLED FOR THE RECKONING AND PAY WITH AN ITALIAN BAND NELLED
+ EXCUSE ME ONE MOMENT PRAY
+ HE WENT OUT METHIER AND PITHPATH HE WAS NO MORE TO BE SEEN
+ WHY LET HIM OUT OF HIS SIGHT
+ IT WAS ONLY NOW AT ELEVEN HOUR THAT THE ITALIAN HAD BECOME INCULPATED AND THE QUESTION OF HIS POSSIBLE ANXIETY TO ESCAPE HAD NEVER BEEN CONSIDERED
+ HE LEFT EVERYTHING BEHIND
+ HAND IT TO ME SAID THE CHIEF AND WHEN IT CAME INTO HIS HANDS HE BEGAN TO TURN OVER THE LEAVES HURRIEDLY
+ I DO NOT UNDERSTAND NOT MORE THAN A WORD HERE AND THERE
+ IT IS NO DOUBT ITALIAN
+ OF COURSE SUCH A CONSUMMATE AS YOU HAVE PROVED YOURSELF WOULD NOT THINK OF SEARCHING THE RESTAURANT OR THE IMMEDIATE NEIGHBOURHOOD OR OF MAKING INQUIRIES AS TO WHETHER HE HAD BEEN SEEN OR AS TO WHICH WHERE HE HAD GONE
+ IT WAS A NOTE FOR A HUNDRED LIRA A HUNDRED FRANCS AND THE RESTAURANT BELOWS NO MORE THAN SEVENTEEN FRANCS HA
+ HE WAS MUCH PRESSED IN A GREAT HURRY
+ DIRECTLY HE CROSSED THE THRESHOLD HE CALLED THE FIRST CAB AND WAS DRIVING AWAY BUT HE WAS STOPPED THE DEVIL
+ HE WISHED TO PASS ON TO LEAVE HER SHE WOULD NOT CONSENT THEN THEY BOTH GUARDED TO THE CAB AND WERE DRIVEN AWAY TOGETHER
+ THE SOCIAL ATTITUDE TOWARD SMOKING AURY VICTORIAN DAYS AND FOR SOME TIME LATER WAS CURIOUS
+ NOW MISSUS KRIBE HE SAYS I FEEL IN A SMOKING HUMOUR AND SHALL PROBABLY PLACE AWAY ALL NIGHT
+ BUT SEE WHERE YOU ARE IF YOU PLEASE IN CASE I WANT YOU
+ THE DWARF'S TASTE HOWEVER WERE CATHOLIC
+ BUT CROP AND BRASS WITHOUT THE SOCIETY
+ THERE WAS TWO PLENTY OF FACT OF OPPONENTS AND DENZERS OF TOBACCO
+ ONE OF THE MOST DISTINGUISHED WAS THE GREAT DUKE OF WELLINGTON WHO ABOMINANT SMOKING AND WAS ANNOYED BY THE INCREASE OF CIGAR SMOKING AMONG OFFICERS OF THE ARMY
+ THE LADIES HAD A KINSIN FOR THE ABOMINABLE THE WORLD TOBACCO AND THAT DISTRACTED THE MAN WAS MONK
+ HERE IS FIT TODLES OR THACKERAY IS COMING ON IT WHAT IS THIS SMOKING THAT IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A CRIME
+ I BELIEVE IN MY HEART FOR THE WOMEN ARE JEALOUS OF IT AS SOFT A RIVAL
+ I WOULD LAY A GUINEA BUT THE MANY A LADY WHO HAS JUST BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO READ THE ABOVE LINES LAYST DOWN THE BOOK AFTER THIS CONFESSION OF MINE THAT I MUST SMOKE HER AND SAY OH THE VULGAR WRETCH AND PASS OURSELVES SOMETHING ELSE
+ GERMANY HAS BEEN PUFFING FOR THREESCORE YEARS FRIENDS SMOKES TO A MAN
+ SHAW LOOK AT HIS PROGRESS
+ THUS THE ALDDOOR OF TOBACCO WAS NOT BROUGHT INTO THEIR DRAWING ROOM
+ THE STERN LACE AND THE BOHEMIANS WHO MET AT THEIR COJARS WERE ABOUT OR BELOW THE THICK PACE OF FASHION AND SMOKING WAS ALWAYS THE FEATURE OF THEIR GATHERIES
+ BOTH QUEEN VICTORIA AND THE PRINCE CONSORT DETESTED IT SO TOBACCO WAS TO BOW WHEREVER THE COURT WAS
+ THE OFFICERS WERE ABOUT TO TAKE LEAVE BUT THE PRINCE ANDREW RELUCTANT TO BE LEFT ALONE WITH HIS FRIEND ASKED THEM TO STAY IN HALF TEA
+ SEAS WERE BROWED IN AND SO WAS THE TEA
+ THE OFFICER'S CASE WAS SURPRISED AND APPEARS HUGE STOUT FIGURE AND LISTENED TO HIS TALK OF MOUSTICO AND THE POSITION OF ALBA ARMY ONE OF WHICH HE HAD A BREEDING
+ SO YOU UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE POSITION OF OUR TROOPS
+ NOW BEING A MILITARY MAN WHO CANNA SAY HAVE UNDERSTOOD IT FULLY BUT THEY UNDERSTAND THE GENERAL PRECISION
+ WELL THEN YOU KNOW MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE BE IT WHO IT MAY SAID PRINCE ANDREW
+ AND TELL ME YOUR OPINION DE TOLLY
+ PURE LOOK THAT MALKING WITH THE CONDESCENDINGLY INTERROGATIVE SMILE WITH WHICH EMILY INVOLUNTARILY REJOICED THAT OFFICER
+ WHICH HE LIGHT AGAIN SINCE HIS SERENITY HAS BEEN APPOINTED YOUR EXCELLENCY SET HIM MORE INTIMATELY AND CONTINUALLY TURNING TO GLANCE AT HIS COLONEL
+ WHY SO ASKED THE PEER
+ THE WIFE WAS IT FORBIDDEN
+ AT SMOLENSK TOO HE JUDGED CORRECTLY THAT THE FRENCH MIGHT OUTFLANCASS AS THEY HAD LARGE FORCES
+ HE ORDERED US TO RETREAT AND ALL OUR EFFORTS AND ALLOWS THIS WIND FOR NOTHING
+ SO IT ASKED HIM WITH BARKLEY
+ WELL RUSSIAN WAS WELL BEFORE IN HER COULD SERVE HER AND BE A SPLENDID MINISTER BUT AS SOON AS SHE IS IN DANGER SHE NEEDS ONE OF HER OWN KING
+ AND THEY SAY HIS SKILFUL COMMANDER REJOINED THE PEER
+ I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS MEANT BY A SKILFUL COMMANDER REPLIED PRINCE ANDREW IRONICALLY
+ THE SKILFUL COMMANDER REPLIED THE PEER
+ PURE LOOK AT A HEM IN SURPRISE
+ AND YET THEY SAY THAT THE VOICE LIKE A GAME OF CHESS HE REMARKED
+ THE RELATIVE STRENGTH OF BODIES OF TROOPS CAN NEVER BE KNOWN TO ANY ONE
+ SUCCESS NEVER DEPENDS AND NEVER WILL DEPEND ON POSITION OR EQUIVEMENT WERE EVEN OUR MEMBERS AND THE LEAST OF ALL ON POSITION BUT ON WHAT THEN
+ ON FULFILLING THAT HE SEE ME AND IN HIM HE POINTED TO THE MALKING AND HE IS SOZER
+ THE BATTLE IS WON BY THOSE WHO FIRMLY RESOLVED TO WIN IT
+ WHY DID WE LOSE THE BATTLE AT THE OUSE BALLERS
+ WE'VE LOST SO LIGHT US ONE AND WE RUN
+ BUT TOMORROW WE SHOULD SAY IT
+ BUT I WOULD WAIT AS TO MORROW
+ THE FACT IS THAT THOSE MEN WITH WHOM YOU HAVE RIDDEN ROUND THE POSITION NOT ONLY TO NOW HELP MATTERS BUT A HINDER
+ THAT'S THE TRUTH THE REAL TRUTH SAID TO MALCOLM
+ IS NOW THE DAY FOR THAT THEY SAY
+ ALL WERE SILENT THE OFFICERS ROSE
+ YES YES ANSWERED THE PRINCE ANDREW ABSENTLY
+ THE FRENCH HAS DESTROYED MY HOME AND ARE ONLY WILL DESTROY A MUSICAL THEY HAVE OUTRAGED AND ARE OUT RAISING ME EVERY MOMENT THEY ARE MY ENEMIES
+ IN MY OPINION DEAR CRIMINALS
+ AND SO THINKS TO MALKI AND THE WHOLE ARMY
+ SINCE THEY ARE MY FOES THEY CANNOT BE MY FRIENDS WHATEVER MAY HAVE BEEN SAIDUSE IT
+ YES YES MUTTERED PETER LOOKING WITH SHINING EYES AT THE PRINCE ANDREW
+ THE TUG TO US OF RULES OF WAR OF CHIVALRY OF FLAX OF TRUTH OF MERCY TO THE UNFORTUNATE AND SO LONG IS OUR RUBBISH
+ THE PLUNDER OF THE PEOPLE'S HOUSES ISSUES FAVOURITE MONEY AND WORSE DO FOWL THEY KILL MY CHILDREN AND MY FATHER AND THEN TACK OFF RULES OF WAR AND MAGNANIMITY TO FOES
+ TAKE NO PRISONERS BUT THE KILL AND BE KILLED
+ PRINCE ANDREW WHO HAVE FELT IT WAS OUT THE SAME TO HIM WHETHER WITHOUT TAKING AS MOUNTAINS HAD BEEN WAS SUDDENLY CHECKED IN HIS SPEECH BY AN AFFECTED CRABBY'S THROAT
+ HE PACED UP AND DOWN A FEW TIMES IN SILENCE BUT HIS EYES GLITTERED FEVERISHLY AND HIS SLEEVES QUIVERED AS TO BEGIN SPEAKING
+ AND THE ONE THERE WAS A ROAR LIKE THIS ONE IT WOULD BE A WAR
+ WHAT IS NEEDED FOR SUCCESS IN WARFARE
+ ON EAST SPILF ALL THIS IT IS THE HIGHEST CLASS RESPECTED BY EVERYONE
+ HOW DOST GOD ABOVE LOOK AT THEM AND HEAR THEM
+ I SEE THAT I HAVE BEGUN TO UNDERSTAND TOO MUCH
+ AND IT DOESN'T DO FOR MEN TO TASTE OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL AH WELL IT IS NOW LONG HE ADDED
+ HOWEVER YOUR SLEEPY AND THIS TIME FOR ME TO SLEEP
+ GO BACK TO GORKY SAID PRINCE ANDREW SUDDENLY
+ GO GO BEFORE BATTLE ONE MUST AT ONCE SLEEP OUT REPLIED PRINCE ANDREW
+ NO HE DOES NOT WANT IT PIERRE CONCLUDED
+ AND I KNOW THAT THIS IS OUR LAST COMMITTEE
+ ONE PICTURE SUCCEEDED ANOTHER IN HIS IMAGINATION
+ AND ONE OF THEM HE DWELT LONG AND JOYFULLY
+ HIS MAJORDOMO CAME IN A SECOND TIME TO SAY THAT THE FRENCHMAN WHO HAD BROUGHT A LETTER FROM THE COUNTESS WAS VERY ANXIOUS TO SEE HIM IF ONLY FOR MINUTES AND THUS SOME ONE FROM POSITIVE'S WIDOW HAD A COW TO ASK PIERRE TO TAKE CHARGE OF HER HUSBAND'S BOOK AS SHE HERSELF WAS LIVING FOR THE COUNTRY
+ THERE WAS NO WAY IN THE PASSAGE
+ THE HALPHER WAS STANDING AT THE FRONT DOOR
+ FROM THE LANDING WHERE PIERRE STOOD THERE WAS A SECOND STAIRCASE LEADING TO THE BACK ENTRANCE
+ HE WENT DOWN THE STAIRCASE AND OUT INTO THE YARD NO ONE HAS SEEN HIM
+ WHEN HE FELT THAT HE WAS BEING LOOKED AT HE BEHAVED LIKE AUSTRICH WHICH HIDED HIS HEAD IN A PUSHING ORDER NOW TO BE SEEN HE HUNG HIS HEAD AND QUICKENING HIS FACE WENT DOWN THE STREET
+ HE HIRED THE FIRST A CAP HE MET AND TOLD THE DRIVER TO GO TO THE PATRIAC'S WHERE THE WIDOWBAS D'ESVE'S HOUSE WAS
+ THIS WAS THE AUTHENTIC SCOWL SHACKS WITH PACTIV'S NOSE AND EXCLAMATIONS
+ HE SAT DOWN THAT THUS DID WRITING TABLE AND HAVING LAID THE MANUSCRIPT BEFORE HIM OPENED THEM OUT CLOSED THEM FINALLY PUSHED THEM AWAY AND RESTING HIS HEAD ON HIS HAND SANK INTO MEDICATION
+ MAKAR ALEXEVITCH CAME TWICE THAT EVENING SHUFFLING ALONG IN HIS SLASHES AS FAR AS THE DOOR AND STOPPED AND LOOKED INGRATIATELY AT THE PIERRE
+ AT THAT VERY TIME AT DAY IN THE MORNING OF THE SECOND OF SEPTEMBER NAPOLEON WAS STANDING AMONG HIS TROOPS ON THE PECLOIAN HEEL LOOKING AT THE PANORAMA SPREAD OUT BEFORE HIM
+ THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE MORNING WAS MAGICAL
+ BUT MY CLEMACIES ALWAYS READY TO DESCEND UPON A VANQUISHED
+ YET HERE SHE IS LYING AT MY FEET WITH HER GOLDEN DOMES AND CROUSS SING LADING IN A TWINKLEER IN THE SUNSHINE
+ BUT I SHALL SPARE HER
+ FROM THE HIDE OUT THE QUAMMILLING YES THERE IS THE CRAMMELINE YES I WILL GIVE THEM JUST ALLOWS I WILL TEACH THEM THE MEANING OF TRUE CIVILIZATION I WILL MAKE GENERATIONS OF POVIARS REMEMBER THEIR CONQUEROR WITH LAW
+ I WILL TELL THE AGITATION THAT I DID NOT AND DO NOW DESIRE WAR THAT I WISHED ONLY AGAINST A FALSE POLICY OF THE RECORD THAT I LOVE AND RESPECT ALEXANDER AND THAT IMMASTICAL I WILL ACCEPT TERMS OF PEACE WORTHY OF MYSELF AND OF MY PEOPLE
+ I DO NOT WISH TO UTILISE THE FORTUNES OF WAR TO HUMILIATE IN HONOUR THE MONARCH
+ YOU HAVE TO BE TOLD OUT THE SAME SAYS SOME GENTLEMAN OF THE SWEET BUT GENTLEMEN
+ A SINGLE REPORT OF A SIGNALING GOWN FOLLOWED AND THE TROOPS WHO WERE ALREADY SPREAD OUT ON DIFFERENT SIDES OF MOSCOW MOVED INTO THE CITY THROUGH MUR KOLUGA AND DALGAMELU CASE
+ IN SEVENTEEN FIFTY HE CAME FORTH IN THE CHARACTER FOR WHICH HE WAS EMINENTLY QUALIFIED A MAJESTIC TEACHER OF MORAL AND RELIGIOUS WISDOM
+ THE VEHICLE WHICH HE CHOSE WAS THAT OF A PERIODICAL PAPER WHICH HE KNEW HAD BEEN UPON FORMER OCCASIONS EMPLOYED WITH GREAT SUCCESS
+ WHEN I WAS TO BEGIN PUBLISHING THAT PAPER I WAS AT A LOSS HOW TO NAME IT
+ I SAT DOWN A NIGHT UPON MY BEDSIDE AND RESOLVED THAT I WOULD NOT GO TO SLEEP TILL I HAD FIXED ITS TITLE
+ ADDISON'S NOTE WAS A FICTION IN WHICH UNCONNECTED FRAGMENTS OF HIS LUCUBRATIONS WERE PURPOSELY JUMBLED TOGETHER IN HIS AWED A MANNER AS HE COULD IN ORDER TO PRODUCE A LAUGHABLE EFFECT
+ WHEREAS JOHNSON'S ABBREVIATIONS ARE ALL DISTINCT AND APPLICABLE TO EACH SUBJECT OF WHICH THE HEAD IS MENTIONED
+ FOR INSTANCE THERE IS THE FOLLOWING SPECIMEN
+ PUBLIC CALAMITIES NO SENSE OF THE PREVALENCE OF BAD HABITS NEGLIGENT OF TIME READY TO UNDERTAKE CARELESS TO PURSUE ALL CHANGED BY TIME
+ CONFIDENCE OF OTHERS UNSUSPECTING AS UNEXPERIENCED IMAGINING HIMSELF SECURE AGAINST NEGLECT NEVER IMAGINES THEY WILL VENTURE TO TREAT HIM ILL READY TO TRUST EXPECTING TO BE TRUSTED
+ YOU AMBITIOUS AS THINKING HONORS EASY TO BE HAD
+ DEFECT KINDS OF PRAISE PURSUED AT DIFFERENT PERIODS
+ OF THE FANCY AND MADWOOD
+GREAT
+ SCHOLARS FRIENDSHIP LIKE LADIES
+ DRAWN TO MAN BY WORDS REPELLED BY PASSIONS
+ COMMON DANGER UNITES BY CRUSHING OTHER PASSIONS BUT THEY RETURN
+ EQUALITY HINDERS COMPLIANCE
+ SUPERIORITY PRODUCES INSOLENCE AND ENVY
+ TOO MUCH REGARDING EACH TO PRIVATE INTEREST TOO LITTLE
+ OF CONFEDERACY WITH SUPERIORS EVERYONE KNOWS THE INCONVENIENCE
+ WITH EQUALS NO AUTHORITY EVERY MAN HIS OWN OPINION HIS OWN INTEREST
+ MAN AND WIFE HARDLY UNITED SCARCE EVER WITHOUT CHILDREN
+ COMPUTATION IF TWO TO ONE AGAINST TWO HOW MANY AGAINST FIVE
+ IN THIS AS IN MANY OTHER CASES I GO WRONG IN OPPOSITION TO CONVICTION FOR I THINK SCARCE ANY TEMPORAL GOOD EQUALLY TO BE DESIRED WITH THE REGARD AND FAMILIARITY OF WORTHY MEN
+ I HOPE WE SHALL BE SOME TIME NEARER TO EACH OTHER AND HAVE A MORE READY WAY OF POURING OUT OUR HEARTS
+ THE GREATEST BENEFIT WHICH ONE FRIEND CAN CONFER UPON ANOTHER IS TO GOD AND EXCITE AND ELEVATE HIS VIRTUES
+ THIS YOUR MOTHER WILL STILL PERFORM IF YOU DILIGENTLY PRESERVE THE MEMORY OF HER LIFE AND OF HER DEATH A LIFE SO FAR AS I CAN LEARN USEFUL WISE AND INNOCENT AND THE DEATH RESIGNED PEACEFUL AND HOLY
+ I CANNOT FORBEAR TO MENTION THAT NEITHER REASON NOR A REVELATION DENIES YOU TO HOPE THAT YOU MAY INCREASE HER HAPPINESS BY OBEYING HER PRECEPTS AND THAT SHE MAY IN HER PRESENT STATE LOOK WITH PLEASURE UPON EVERY ACTOR VIRTUE TO WHICH HER INSTRUCTIONS OR EXAMPLE HAVE CONTRIBUTED
+ IF YOU WRITE DOWN MINUTELY WHAT YOU ARE A MEMBER OF HER FROM YOUR EARLIEST YEARS YOU WILL READ IT WITH GREAT PLEASURE AND RECEIVE FROM IT MANY HINTS OF SOOTHING RECOLLECTION WHEN TIME SHALL REMOVE HER YET FARTHER FROM YOU AND YOUR GRIEF SHALL BE MATURED TO VENERATION
+ NUMBER THIRTY TWO ON PATIENCE EVEN UNDER EXTREME MISERY IS WONDERFUL A LOFTY AND AS MUCH ABOVE THE RANT OF STOICISM AS THE SUN OF REVELATION IS BRIGHTER THAN THE TWILIGHT OF PAGAN PHILOSOPHY
+ IT MUST INDEED BE ALLOWED THAT THE STRUCTURE OF HIS SENTENCES IS EXPANDED AND OFTEN HAS SOMEWHAT OF THE INVERSION OF LATIN AND THAT HE DELIGHTED TO EXPRESS FAMILIAR THOUGHTS IN PHILOSOPHICAL LANGUAGE BEING IN THIS THE REVERSE OF SOCRATES WHO IT WAS SAID REDUCED PHILOSOPHY TO THE SIMPLICITY OF COMMON LIFE
+ THIS IDLE CHARGE HAS BEEN ECHOED FROM ONE BABBLER TO ANOTHER WHO HAVE CONFOUNDED JOHNSON'S ESSAYS WITH JOHNSON'S DICTIONARY AND BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT RIGHT IN A LEXICON OF OUR LANGUAGE TO COLLECT MANY WORDS WHICH HAD FALLEN INTO DISUSE BUT WERE SUPPORTED BY GREAT AUTHORITIES IT HAS BEEN IMAGINED THAT ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN INTERWOVEN INTO HIS OWN COMPOSITIONS
+ THEIR STYLES DIFFER AS PLAIN CLOTH AND BROCADE
+ HE WAS GONE
+ NOR DEEP BLUE SKIES OF CRIMSON AMBER TINTS
+ SHE SAT BY HERSELF AT THE FIRE WITH UNLIGHTED CANDLES ON THE TABLE BEHIND HER LEANING OVER THE DAY THE HAPPY WALK HAPPY SKETCHING CHEERFUL PLEASANT DINNER AND THE UNCOMFORTABLE MISERABLE WALK IN THE GARDEN
+ HERE WAS SHE DISTURBED AND UNHAPPY BECAUSE HER INSTINCT HAD MADE ANYTHING BUT A REFUSAL IMPOSSIBLE WHILE HE NOT MANY MINUTES AFTER HE HAD MET WITH THE REJECTION OF WHAT OUGHT TO HAVE BEEN THE DEEPEST HOLIEST PROPOSAL OF HIS LIFE COULD SPEAK AS IF ITS BRIEFS SUCCESS IN ALL HIS SUPERFICIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A GOOD HOUSE CLEVER AND AGREEABLE SOCIETY WERE THE SOUL ABOUT OBJECTS OF HIS DESIRES OH DEAR
+ HER MOTHER CAME INTO THE ROOM BEFORE THIS WORLD OF THOUGHTS WAS ADJUSTED INTO ANYTHING LIKE ORDER
+ MISTER HALE SIPPED HIS TEA IN ABSTRACTED SILENCE MARGARET HAD THE RESPONSES ALL TO HERSELF
+ SHE FORGOT THAT HE HAD NOT MADE THEM AN OFFER
+ MARGARET WAS PREPARING HER MOTHER'S WORSTED WORK AND RATHER SHRINKING FROM THE THOUGHT OF THE LONG EVENING AND WISHING BEDTIME WHERE COME THAT SHE MIGHT GO OVER THE EVENTS OF THE DAY AGAIN
+MARGARET
+ I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING VERY SERIOUS TO US ALL
+ VERY SERIOUS TO A SOUL
+ MISTER LENNOX HAD NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF HAVING ANY PRIVATE CONVERSATION WITH HER FATHER AFTER HER REFUSAL OR ELSE THAT WOULD INDEED BE A VERY SERIOUS AFFAIR
+ BUT SHE SOON FELT IT WAS NOT ABOUT ANYTHING WHICH HAVING ONLY LATELY AND SUDDENLY OCCURRED COULD HAVE GIVEN RISE TO ANY COMPLICATED THOUGHTS THAT HER FATHER WISHED TO SPEAK TO HER
+ MISTER HALE DID NOT ANSWER FOR A MINUTE OR TWO
+ MARGARET COULD NOT BATHE THE SIGHT OF THE SUSPENSE WHICH WAS EVEN MORE DISTRESSING TO HER FATHER THAN TO HERSELF
+ BUT WHY DO PAPA DO TELL ME
+ BECAUSE I MUST NO LONGER BE A MINISTER IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND
+ BUT NOTHING TO THE SHOCK SHE RECEIVED FROM MISTER HALE'S LAST SPEECH WHAT COULD HE MEAN
+ IT WAS ALL THE WORSE FOR BEING SO MYSTERIOUS
+ WHY CAN YOU NO LONGER BE A CLERGYMAN
+ SURELY IF THE BISHOP WERE TOLD ALL WE KNOW ABOUT FREDERICK AND THE HARD AND JUST
+ MARGARET I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT IT
+ I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THIS ONCE BUT AFTER TO NIGHT LET US NEVER SPEAK OF IT AGAIN
+ I CAN NEED THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY PAINFUL MISERABLE DOUBTS BUT IT IS AN EFFORT BEYOND ME TO SPEAK OF WHAT HAS CALLS ME SO MUCH SUFFERING
+ NO NOT DOUBTS AS TO RELIGION NOR THE SLIGHTEST INJURY TO THAT HE PAUSED
+ MARGARET SIGHED AS IF STANDING ON THE VERGE OF SOME NEW HORROR
+ MARGARET HOW I LOVE THE HOLY CHURCH FROM WHICH I AM TO BE SHUT OUT
+ HE COULD NOT GO ON FOR A MOMENT OR TWO
+ MARGARET COULD NOT TELL WHAT TO SAY I SEEMED TO HARASS TERRIBLY MYSTERIOUS AS IF HER FATHER WERE ABOUT TO TURN MAHOMETILLE
+ THE ONE STATE FOUNDATION OF HER HOME OF HER IDEA OF HER BELOVED FATHER SEEMED REELING AND ROCKING
+ HE SWALLOWED DOWN THE DRY CHOKING SOBS WHICH HAD BEEN HEAVING UP FROM HIS HEART YET THE TOUR AND GOING TO HIS BOOKCASE HE TOOK DOWN A VOLUME WHICH HE HAD OFTEN BEEN READING LATELY AND FROM WHICH HE THOUGHT HE HAD DERIVED STRENGTH TO ENTER UPON THE COURSE IN WHICH HE WAS NOW IN BARBED
+ LISTEN DEAR MARGARET SAID HE BUT YOU WANT ARM AROUND HER WAIST
+ WHEN GOD WILL NOT USE THEE ONE KIND YET HE WILL IN ANOTHER
+ IF WHEN THOU ART CHARGED WITH CORRUPTING GOD'S WORSHIP FALSIFYING THY VOWS THOUGH PRETENDETH A NECESSITY FOR IT OWNER TO A CONTINUANCE IN THE MINISTRY
+ AS HE READ THIS AND GLANCED AT MUCH MORE WHICH HE DID NOT READ HE GAINED RESOLUTION FOR HIMSELF AND FELT AS IF HE TOO COULD BE BRAVE AND FIRM IN DOING WHAT HE BELIEVED TO BE RIGHT BUT AS HE CEASED HE HEARD MARGARET'S LOW CONVULSIVE SOB AND HIS COURAGE SANG DOWN UNDER THE KEEN SENSE OF SUFFERING
+ I HAVE BORNE LONG WITH SELF REPROACH THERE WOULD HAVE ROUSED ANY MINE LESS TORPID AND COWARDLY THAN MINE
+ HE SHOOK HIS HEAD AS HE WENT ON
+ MARGARET I CRIED TO DO IT I TRIED TO CONTENT MYSELF WITH SIMPLY REFUSING THE DISH OR PREFERMENT AND STOPPING QUIETLY HERE STRANGLING MY CONSCIENCE NOW AS I HAD STRAINED IT BEFORE
+ GOD FORGIVE ME
+ HE ROSE AND WALKED UP AND DOWN THE ROOM SPEAKING LOW WORDS OF SELF REPROACH AND HUMILIATION OF WHICH MARGARET WAS THANKFUL TO HEAR BUT A FEW
+ MARGARET I RETURNED TO THE OLD SAID BURDEN WE MUST LEAVE HELSTONE
+YES
+ I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE BISHOP I DARE SAY I'VE TOLD YOU SO BUT I FORGET THINGS JUST NOW SAID MISTER HALE COLLAPSING INTO HIS DEPRESSED MANNER AS SOON AS HE CAME TO TALK OF HARD MATTER OF FACT DETAILS INFORMING HIM OF MY INTENTION TO RESIGN THE SPEAKERAGE
+ THEY ARE BUT WHAT I HAVE CRIED UPON MYSELF WITHOUT A WHALE
+ THAT WILL BE A TRIAL BUT WORSE FAR WORSE WILL BE DEPARTING FOR MY DEAR PEOPLE
+ HE WILL COME TO STAY WITH US TO MORROW
+ WAS IT TO BE SO SUDDEN THEN
+ WHAT DOES MOLA SAY
+ MARGARET I AM A POOR CARD AFTER ALL I CANNOT BEAR TO GIVE PAIN
+ YES INDEED SHE MUST SAID MARGARET
+ PERHAPS AFTER ALL SHE MAY NOT OH YES
+ SHE WILL SHE MUST BE SHOCKED AS THE FORCE OF THE BLOW RETURNED UPON HERSELF IN TRYING TO REALIZE HOW ANOTHER WOULD TAKE IT
+ TO MILTON NORTHERN HE ANSWERED WITH A DULL INDIFFERENCE FOR HE HAD PERCEIVED THAT ALTHOUGH HIS DAUGHTER'S LOVE HAD MADE HER CLING TO HIM AND FOR A MOMENT STRIDE TO SOOTHE HIM WITH HER LOVE YET THE KEENNESS OF THE PAIN WAS AS FRESH AS EVER IN HER MIND
+ MILTON
+ YES SAID HE IN THE SAME DESPONDENT IN DIFFERENT WAY
+ BUT HE WITH THIS QUICK INTUITIVE SYMPATHY READ IN HER FACE AS IN A MIRROR THE REFLECTIONS OF HIS OWN MOODY DEPRESSION AND TURNED IT OFF WITH AN EFFORT
+ YOU SHALL BE TOLD OLD MARGARET
+ ONLY HELP ME TO TELL YOUR MOTHER
+ I AM GOING OUT FOR THE DAY TO BID FATHER DOBSON AND THE POOR PEOPLE ON BRACY COMMON GOOD BYE
+ WOULD YOU DISLIKE BREAKING IT TO HER VERY MUCH MARGARET
+ MARGARET DID DISLIKE IT DITCHING FROM IT MORE THAN FROM ANYTHING SHE HAD EVER HAD TO DO IN HER LIFE BEFORE
+ MISTER HALE SHOOK HIS HEAD DESPONDINGLY HE PRESSED HER HAND IN TOKEN OF GRATITUDE
+ MARGARET WAS NEARLY UPSET AGAIN INTO A BURST OF CRYING
+ TO TURN HER THOUGHTS SHE SAID NOW TELL ME PAPA WHAT A PLANZAR
+ YOU AND MAMMA HAVE SOME MONEY INDEPENDENT OF THE INCOME FROM THE LIVING HAVE NOT YOU ARE SURE HAS I KNOW
+ SEVENTY OF THAT HAS ALWAYS GONE TO FREDERICK SINCE HE HAS BEEN ABROAD
+ HE MUST HAVE SOME PAY FOR SERVING WITH THE SPANISH ARMY
+ FREDERICK MUST NOT SUFFER SAID MARGARET DECIDEDLY IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY SO UNJUSTLY TREATED BY HIS OWN A HUNDRED IS LEFT
+NO
+ SAID MISTER HALE THAT WOULD NOT ANSWER I MUST DO SOMETHING
+ I CAN ALWAYS DECIDE BETTER FOR MYSELF AND NOT INFLUENCED BY THOSE WHOM I LOVE SAID HE AS A HALF APOLOGY FOR HAVING ARRANGED SO MUCH BEFORE HE HAD TOLD ANY ONE OF HIS FAMILY OF HIS INTENTIONS
+ I CANNOT STAND OBJECTIONS
+ AND MAKE ME SO UNDECIDED
+ MISTER HALE CONTINUED A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN MY MISERY OF DOUBT BECAME MORE THAN I COULD BEAR WITHOUT SPEAKING I WROTE TO MISTER BELL YOU REMEMBER MISTER BELL MARGARET
+ NO I NEVER SAW HIM I THINK
+ AT ANY RATE HE HAS PROPERTY THERE WHICH HAS VERY MUCH INCREASED IN VALUE SINCE MILTON HAS BECOME SUCH A LARGE MANUFACTURING TOWN
+ I DON'T KNOW THAT HE GAVE ME MY STRENGTH
+ A PRIVATE TUTOR
+ SAID MARGARET LOOKING SCORNFUL WHAT IN THE WORLD AND MANUFACTURES WANT WITH THE CLASSICS OF LITERATURE OR THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF A GENTLEMAN
+ OH SAID HER FATHER SOME OF THEM REALLY SEEMED TO BE FINE FELLOWS CONSCIENCE OF THEIR OWN DEFICIENCIES WHICH IS MORE THAN MANY A MAN AT OXFORD IS
+ SOME ONE OF THE CHILDREN TO BE BETTER INSTRUCTED THAN THEY THEMSELVES HAD BEEN
+ AND IN MILTON MARGARET I SHALL FIND A BUSY LIFE IF NOT A HAPPY ONE AND PEOPLE AND SEEN SO DIFFERENT THAT I SHALL NEVER BE REMINDED OF HELSTONE
+ DISCORDANT AS IT WAS WITH ALMOST A DETESTATION FOR ALL SHE HAD EVER HEARD OF THE NORTH OF ENGLAND THE MANUFACTURES THE PEOPLE THE WILD AND BLEAK COUNTRY THERE WAS THIS ONE RECOMMENDATION IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT FROM HELSTONE AND COULD NEVER REMIND THEM OF THAT BELOVED PLACE
+ WHEN DO WE GO
+ I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY
+ I WANT YOU TO TALK IT OVER WITH YOU
+ YOU SEE YOUR MOTHER KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT YET BUT I THINK IN A FORTNIGHT AFTER MY DEED OF RESIGNATION IS SENT IN I SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO IN VAIN
+ MARGARET WAS ALL MY STAND
+ BUT SHE RECOVERED HERSELF IMMEDIATELY
+ YES PAPA IT HAD BETTER BE FIXED SOON AND DECIDEDLY AS YOU SAY
+ FOR MARIA
+ OH IF I WERE NOT MARRIED IF I WERE BUT MYSELF IN THE WORLD HOW EASY IT WOULD BE
+ NO SAID MARGARET SADLY I WILL DO IT
+ YOU MUST NOT DECEIVE YOURSELF INTO DOUBTING THE REALITY OF MY WORDS MY FIXED INTENTION AND RESOLVE
+ HE LOOKED AT HER IN THE SAME STEADY STONY MANNER FOR SOME MOMENTS AFTER HE HAD DONE SPEAKING
+ THE BLESSING OF GOD BE UPON THEE MY CHILD
+ THE NEXT MOMENT SHE FEARED LEST THIS ANSWER TO HIS BLESSING MIGHT BE REVEREND WRONG MIGHT HURT HIM AS COMING FROM HIS DAUGHTER AS SHE THREW HER ARMS AROUND HIS NECK
+ SHE HEARD HIM MURMUR TO HIMSELF THE MARTYRS AND CONFESSORS HAD EVEN MORE PAIN TO BEAR I WILL NOT SHRINK
+ THEY WERE STARTLED BY HEARING MISSUS HALE INQUIRING FOR HER DAUGHTER
+ IT WAS LONG SINCE ROSTOVS HAD NEWS OF NICCOS
+ NOT TILL MIDWINTER WAS THE COUNT AT LAST HANDED A LETTER ADDRESSED IN HIS SON'S HANDWRITING
+ ON RECEIVING IT HE RAN ON TIPTOE TO HIS STUDY IN ALARM AND HASTE TRYING TO ESCAPE NOTICE CLOSED THE DOOR AND BEGAN TO READ THE LETTER
+ EACH TIME THAT THESE HINTS BEGAN TO MEET THE COUNTESS ANXIOUS AND SHE GLANCED UNEASILY AT THE COUNT AND AT ANNA MIKHAYLOVNA THE LATTER VERY ADROITLY TURNED THE CONVERSATION TO INSIGNIFICANT MATTERS
+ BUT FOR GOD SAY BE CAREFUL YOU KNOW HOW IT MAY AFFECT YOUR MAMMA
+ NO ARE MY TRUE WORD OF HONOR SAID NATASHA CROSSING HERSELF I WON'T TELL ANYONE
+ AND SHE RAN OFF AT ONCE TO SONYA
+ SHE RUSHED TO SONYA HUGGED HER AND BEGAN TO CRY
+ IT'S TRUE THAT ALL YE WOMEN ARE CRAVY'S REMARKED PETYA PESING THE ROOM WITH LARGE RESOLUTE STRAITS
+ YOU'RE ALL BLUBBERS AND UNDERSTAND NOTHING

+ SONYA SMILED DO I REMEMBER NICHOLAS
+ I REMEMBER NIKOLINKER TOO I REMEMBER HIM WELL SHE SAID
+ NO SHE SHUT HER EYES
+ SHE FELT THAT SONYA WAS SPEAKING THE TRUTH THAT THERE WAS SUCH LOVE AS SONYA WAS SPEAKING OF
+ SHE BELIEVED IT COULD BE BUT DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT
+ SHALL YOU WRITE TO HIM SHE ASKED
+ NOW THAT HE WAS ALREADY AN OFFICER AND A WOUNDED HERO WOULD IT BE RIGHT TO REMIND HIM OF HERSELF AND AS IT MIGHT SEEM OF THE OBLIGATIONS TO HER HE HAD TAKEN ON HIMSELF
+ I DON'T KNOW
+ SONYA SMILED NO
+ IT'S BECAUSE SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH THAT FAT ONE HIS SPECTACLES THAT WAS HER PITCHER DESCRIBED HIS NAMESAKE THE NEW COUNT BEZUKHOV AND NOW SHE'S IN LOVE WITHOUT SINGER HE MADE NATASHA'S ITALIAN SINGING MASTER THAT'S WHY SHE'S ASHAMED
+ PETYA YOU'RE STUPID SAID NATASHA
+ THE COUNTESS HAD BEEN PREPARED BY ANNA MIKHAYLOVNA'S HINTS AT DINNER
+ ON RETIRING TO HER OWN ROOM SHE SAT IN AN ARM CHAIR HER EYES FIXED ON A MINIATURE PORTRAIT OF HER SON ON THE LID OF A SNUFF BOX WHILE THE TEARS KEPT COMING INTO HER EYES
+ THE COUNT PUT HIS EAR TO THE KEYHOLE AND LISTENED
+ AT FIRST HE HEARD THE SOUND OF INDIFFERENT VOICES THEN ANNAKOVNA'S VOICE ALONE IN A LONG SPEECH THEN A CRY THEN SILENCE THEN BOTH VOICES TOGETHER WITH GLAD INTONATIONS AND THEN FOOTSTEPS
+ ANNA MIKHAYLOVNA OPENED THE DOOR
+ WHEN SHE HEARD THIS SONYA BLUSHED SO THAT TEARS CAME INTO HER EYES AND UNABLE TO BEAR THE LOOKS TURNED UPON HER RAN AWAY INTO THE DANCING HALL ROUND IT AT FULL SPEED WITH HER DRESS PUFFED OUT LIKE A BALLOON AND FLUSHED AND SMILING PLUGGED DOWN ON THE FLOOR
+ THE COUNTESS WAS CRYING
+ FROM ALL HE SAYS ONE SHOULD BE GLAD AND NOT CRY
+ HOW CHARMINGLY HE DESCRIBES SAID SHE READING THE DESCRIPTIVE PART OF THE LETTER AND WHAT A SOUL
+ I ALWAYS SAID WHEN HE WAS ONLY SO HIGH I ALWAYS SAID
+ THE PAVLOV GRADS HELD FEAST AFTER FEAST CELEBRATING A WARS THEY HAD RECEIVED FOR THE CAMPAIGN AND MADE EXPEDITIONS TO ALMOST TO VISIT A CERTAIN CAROLINE THE HUNGARIAN WHO HAD RECENTLY OPENED A RESTAURANT THERE WITH GIRLS'S WAITRESSES
+ THE GUARDS HAD MADE THEIR WHOLE MARCH AS IF ON A PLEASURE TRIP PARADING THEIR CLAIMLINESS AND DISCIPLINE
+ THE REGIMENTS HAD ENTERED AND LEFT THE TOWN WITH THEIR BANDS PLAYING AND BY THE GRAND DUKE'S ORDERS THE MEN HAD MARCHED ALL THE WAY IN STEP A PRACTICE ON WHICH THE GUARDS PRIDED THEMSELVES THE OFFICERS ON FOOT AND AT THEIR PROPER POSTS
+ BORIS HAD BEEN CORSORED AND HAD MARCHED ALL THE WAY WITH BERG WHO WAS ALREADY IN COMMAND OF A COMPANY
+ BORACE DURING THE CAMPAIGN HAD MADE THE ACQUAINTANCE OF MANY PERSONS WHO MIGHT PROVE USEFUL TO HIM AND BY A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION HE HAD BROUGHT FROM PIERRE HAD BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH PRINCE ANDREW BOLKONSKI THOUGH WHOM HE HOPED TO OBTAIN A POST ON THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF STAFF
+ BERG AND BORIS HAVING RESTED AFTER YESTERDAY'S MARCH WERE SITTING CLEAN AND NEATLY DRESSED AT A ROUND TABLE IN THE CLEAN QUARTERS ALLOTTED TO THEM PLAIN CHESTS
+ WELL HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET OUT OF THAT HE REMARKED
+ AT THAT MOMENT THE DOOR OPENED
+ DEAR ME HOW YOU HAVE CHANGED
+ HE WAS ABOUT TO EMBRACE HIS FRIENDS BUT NICHOLAS AVOIDED HIM
+ HE WANTED TO PINCH HIM PUSH HIM DO ANYTHING BUT KISS HIM A THING EVERYBODY DID
+ BUT NOTWITHSTANDING THIS BORIS EMBRACED HIM IN A QUIET FRIENDLY WAY AND KISSED HIM THREE TIMES
+ THEY HAD NOT MET FOR NEARLY HALF A YEAR AND BEING AT THE AGE WHEN YOUNG MENDED THEIR FIRST STEPS ON LIFE ROADS EACH SAW IMMENSE CHANGES IN THE OTHER QUITE A NEW REFLECTION OF THE SOCIETY IN WHICH THEY HAD TAKEN THOSE FIRST STEPS
+ I DID NOT EXPECT YOU TO DO HE ADDED
+ YOU KNOW OF COURSE THAT HIS IMPERIAL HIGHNESS WROTE WITH OUR REGIMENT ALL THE TIME SO THAT WE HAD EVERY COMFORT IN EVERY ADVANTAGE
+ WHAT RECEPTIONS WE HAD IN POLANDS
+ WHAT DINNERS AND BALLS I CAN'T TELL YOU
+ OH YOU GUARD SAID ROSTOV I SAY SEVEN WINE
+ HE WENT TO HIS BED DREW A PARSUM UNDER THE CLEAN PILLOW AND SENT FOR WINE
+ YES AND I HAVE SOME MONEY AND A LESSEST TO GIVE YOU HE ADDED
+ OH DON'T MENTION IT COUNT I QUITE UNDERSTAND SAID BERG GETTING UP AND SPEAKING IN A MUFFLED AND GUTTURAL VOICE
+ GO ACROSS TO OUR HORSE THEY INVITED YOU ADDED BORIS
+ BURKE PUT ON THE CLEANEST OF COATS WITHOUT A SPOT OR SPECK OF DUST STOOD BEFORE A LOOKING GLASS AND BRUSHED THE HAIR ON HIS TEMPLES UPWARDS IN THE WAY AFFECTED BY THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER AND HAVING INSURED HIMSELF FROM THE WAY ROSTOV LOOKED AT IT THAT HIS COAT HAD BEEN NOTICED LEFT THE ROOM OF THE PLEASANT SMILE
+ OH DEAR WHAT A BEAST I AM MUTTERED ROSTOV AS HE READ THE LETTER WHY
+ WELL HAVE YOU SENT GABRIEL FOR SOME WINE ALL RIGHT LET US HAVE SOME
+ IN THE LETTER FROM HIS PARENTS WAS ENCLOSED A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION TO BAG GRECIAN WHICH THE OLD COUNTESS HAD ANNA MIKHAYLOVNA'S ADVICE HAD OBTAINED THROUGH AN ACQUAINTANCE AND SENT TO HER SON ASKING HIM TO TAKE IT TO ITS DESTINATION AND MAKE USE OF IT
+ WHY HAVE YOU THROWN THAT AWAY ASKED BORIS
+ IT IS SOME LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION WHAT THE DEVIL DO I WANT IT FOR
+ HE LOOKED INTENTLY AND INQUIRINGLY INTO HIS FRIEND'S EYES EVIDENTLY TRYING IN VAIN TO FIND THE ANSWER TO SOME QUESTION
+ WHICH YOU BELIEVE IT COUNT I WAS NOT AT ALL ALARMED AS I KNEW I WAS RIGHT
+ I CAME FORWARD BERG STOOD UP AND SHOWED HOW HE PRESENTED HIMSELF WITH HIS HAND TO HIS CAP AND REALLY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT FOR A FACE TO EXPRESS GREATER RESPECT AND SELF COMPLACENCY THAN HIS DID
+ WELL HE STORMED AT ME AS THE SAYING IS STARVED AND STARNED AND STORMED
+ IT WAS NOT THE MATTER OF LIFE BUT RATHER OF DEATH AS THE SAYING IS
+ ARBALIANS AND DEVILS AND TWO SIBERIA SAID BERG WITH A SAGACIOUS SMILE
+ STILL I REMAINED SILENT AND WHAT DO YOU THINK KATE
+ THE NEXT DAY IT WAS NOT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE ORDERS OF THE DAY
+ THAT'S THE WEAK COAT SAID BERG LIGHTING HIS PIPE AND EMITTING RINGS OF SMOAK
+ YES THAT WAS FINE SAID ROSTOV SMILING
+ ROSTOV WAS A TRUTHFUL YOUNG MAN AND WIDOW NO ACCOUNT HAVE TOLD A DELIBERATE LIE
+ HE BEGAN HIS STORY MEANING TO TELL EVERYTHING JUST AS IT HAPPENED BUT IMPERCEPTIBLY INVOLUNTARILY AND INEVITABLY HE ELAPSED INTO FALSEHOOD
+ PRINCE ANDREW WHO LIKED TO HELP YOUNG MEN WAS FLATTERED BY BEING ASKED FOR HIS ASSISTANCE AND BEING WELL DISPOSED TOWARDS BORIS WHO HAD MANAGED TO PLEASE HIM THE DAY BEFORE HE WISHED TO DO WHAT YOUNG MAN WANTED
+ IN SPITE OF PRINCE ANDREW'S DISAGREEABLE IRONICAL TONE IN SPITE OF THE CONTENT WITH WHICH ROSTOV FROM HIS FIGHTING ARMY POINT OF VIEW REGARDED ALL THESE LITTLE ADJUTANTS ON THE STAFF OF WHOM THE NEWCOMER WAS EVIDENTLY WON ROSTOV FELT CONFUSED BLUSHED AND BECAME SILENT
+ BORIS INQUIRED WHAT NEWS THERE MIGHT BE ON THE STAFF AND WHAT WITHOUT INDISCRETION ONE MAY ASK ABOUT OUR PLANS
+ WE SHALL PROBABLY ADVANCE REPLIED BOLKOWSKI EVIDENTLY RELUCTANT TO SAY MORE IN THE PRESENCE OF A STRANGER
+ BURKE TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK WITH GREAT POLITENESS WHETHER AS WAS RUMOURED THE ALLOWANCE OF FORAGE MONEY TO CAPTAINS OF COMPANIES WOULD BE DOUBLED
+ I WAS THERE SAID ROSTOV ANGRILY AS IF INTENDING TO INSULT THE AIDE DE CAMP
+ WITH A SLIGHTLY CONTEMPTUOUS SMILE HE SAID YES THAT OUR MANY STORIES NOW TOLD ABOUT THAT AFFAIR
+ BUT OUR STORIES ARE THE STORIES OF MEN WHO HAVE BEEN UNDER THE ENEMY'S FIRE
+ OUR STORIES HAVE SOME WEIGHTS NOT LIKE THE STORIES OF THOSE FELLOWS ON THE STAFF WHO GET REWARDS WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING
+ HOWEVER HE ADDED RISING YOU KNOW MY NAME AND WHERE TO FIND ME THEY DON'T FORGET THAT I DO NOT REGARD EITHER MYSELF OR YOU AS HAVING BEEN AT ALL INSULTED AND AS A MAN OLDER THAN YOU MY ADVICE IS TO LET THE MATTER DROP
+ EXCLAIMED PRINCE ANDREW AND WAS ABOUT TO THEM BOTH HE WENT OUT
+ AND HE WAS STILL MORE ANGRY AT HAVING OMITTED TO SEE US
+ HE ORDERED HIS HORSE AT ONCE AND COLDLY TAKING LEAVE OF BORIS RODE HOME
+ SHOULD HE GO TO HEADQUARTERS NEXT DAY AND CHALLENGE THAT A FATED ADJUTANT OR REALLY LET THE MATTER DROP WAS THE QUESTION THAT WORRIED HIM ALL THE WAY
+ I SEE SHAWLS OF THEM DEPART NOT PERHAPS WAS OUT AN INNATE LONGING TOO TO GET THE ISLAND ALONG WITH THOSE HAPPY SNOBS
+ FAREWELL DO FRIENDS I SAY YOU LITTLE THAT THE INDIVIDUAL WHO REGARDS YOU FROM THE BEACH IS YOUR FRIEND AND HISTORIOGRAPHER AND BROTHER
+ I WENT TO DAY TO SEE OUR EXCELLENT FRENCH NOAKS ON BOARD THE QUEEN OF THE FRENCH MANY SCORES SNOBS WITH AIR ON THE DECK OF THAT FINE SHIP MARCHING FORTH IN THEIR PRIDE AND BRAVERY
+ THEY WILL BE AT OSTEND IN FOUR HOURS THEY WILL INUNDATE THE CONTINENT NEXT WEEK THEY WILL CARRY INTO FAR LANDS THE FAMOUS IMAGE OF THE BRITISH SNOP
+ I HAVE SEEN SNOBS IN PINK COATS AND HUNTING BOOTS SCOURING OVER THE CAMPAN OF ROME AND HAVE HEARD AS THEIR ROADS AND THEIR WELL KNOWN SLANG AND THE GALLERIES OF THE VATICAN AND UNDER THE SHADOWY ARCHES OF THE COLOSSEUM
+ MY LADY MARCHIONESS COMES ON BOARD LOOKS ROUND WE SAID HAPPY AIR OF MINGLED TERROR AND IMPERTINENCE WHICH DISTINGUISHES HER LADYSHIP AND RUSHES TO HER CARRIAGE FOR IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT SHE SHOULD MINGLE WITH THE OTHER SNOBS ON DECK
+ THERE SHE SITS AND WILL BE ILL IN PRIVATE
+ THE STRAWBERRY LEAVES ON HER CHARIOT PANELS ARE ENGRATE ON HER LADYSHIP'S HEART
+ AND DAVE AS YOU'D BEST TAKE THE PISIL CASE INTO HIS CABIN
+ LOOK AT HONEST NASON STITCH AND HIS LADY AND THEIR LITTLE SON
+ WHAT A NOBLE AIR OF BLAZING CONTENTMENT ILLUMINATE THE FEATURES OF THOSE SNOBS OF EASTERN RACE
+ WHAT A TWA NUT HOUNDS DITCHES EZE'S
+ HE WILL NEVER SPARE HIMSELF ANY CHEAP ENJOYMENT
+ I HAVE SAID BEFORE I LIKE TO LOOK AT THE PEOPLES ON THEIR GALA DAYS THEY ARE SO PICTURESQUELY AND OUTRAGEOUSLY SPLENDID AND HAPPY
+ YONDER COMES CAPTAIN BULL SPICK AND SPAN TIRED AND TRIM WHOEVERS FOR FOUR OR SIX MONTHS EVERY YEAR OF HIS LIFE WHO DOES NOT COMMIT HIMSELF BY LUXURY OF RAIMENT OR INSOLENCE OF DEMEANOUR BUT I THINK IS AS GREAT AS NOT AS ANY MAN ON BOARD
+ BOB PASSES THE SEASON IN LONDON SPONGING FOR DINNERS AND SLEEPING IN A GARRET NEAR HIS CLUB
+ SEE HE'S UP OLD CARAVAS ALREADY I TOLD YOU HE WOULD

+ THE NEXT PERSON IS BUT HARK
+ WHEN A GROSS INSTANCE OF SNOBBISHNESS HAPPENS I SHOULD NOT THE INDIGNANT JOURNALIST CAUSE THE PUBLIC ATTENTION TO THIS DELINQUESY TOO
+ HOW FOR INSTANCE COULD THAT WONDERFUL KATE OF THE EARL OF MANGEL BERTHA AND HIS BROTHER BE EXAMINED IN THE SNOBBISH POINT OF VIEW
+ ALL WE REQUIRE IS THAT A MAN SHOULD BE RECOMMENDED TO US BY THE EARL OF MANGLOTISHSHIRE
+ O YOUR PRIDE OF ALL SNOB BLEND
+ OH YOU CRAWLING TRUCKLING SELF CONFESSED LUCKIES AND PARASITES
+ IT WAS HER SNOBBISH SENTIMENT BUT MISLET HER AND TO MAKE HER VANITIES APPRAID THIS WENDLING FORTUNE TANNER
+ HOW WOULD YOUR COUNT FOR THE PRODIGIOUS BENEVOLENCE EXERCISE TOWARDS INTERESTING FRENCH LADY
+ THE HONEST BOARDING HOUSE PEOPLE WERE AT HER FEET AT ONCE
+ GOOD HONEST LOVING CHILDREN OF SNUBLAND
+ FINALLY THERE WAS A CASE OF THE RIGHT HONOURABLE MISTER VAN AND AT YORK
+ THE RIGHT HONOURABLE WAS A SON OF A NOBLEMAN AND PRACTISED ON AN OLD LADY
+ THEN HE CAST HIS NETS OVER A FAMILY OF FATHER MOTHER AND DAUGHTERS ONE OF WHOM HE PROPOSED TO MARRY
+ ONE DAY THE DRAUGHT OF BLOOD WITH A TEAPOT AND A BASKET FULL OF COLD FICTARS
+ IT WAS A RIGHT HONOURABLE WHICH BAITED THE HOOK WHICH GORGE ALL THESE GREEDY SIMPLE SNOBS
+ WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN BY COMMONER
+ ALAS AND ALAS WHAT MORE MAN THAT SPEAKS A TRUTH CAN HOPE FOR SUCH A LANDLADY
+ AND YET ALL THESE INSTANCES OF FOND AND CREULOUS NOBBISHNESS HAVE OCCURRED IN THE SAME WEEK'S PAPER WITH WHO KNOWS HOW MANY SCHOOL MORE
+ WE ARE THREE SISTERS FROM SEVENTEEN TO TWENTY TWO
+ WE ARE JUST THE SAME TO PERSONS FOR MISTER HANDLE TO HIS AMOS DESERVES WITHOUT IT
+ IF YOU DO I CANNOT HELP IT BUT I AM OF A SANGUINE DISPOSITION AND ENTERTAIN A LINGERING HOPE
+ EXCUSE THIS GIRL THAT I ALWAYS WRITE HAD LONG

+ YOU CAN'T HELP IT POOR DEARS WHAT'S IN A NAME
+ THAT VERY CONFIDENCE SAVIOURS OF ARROGANCE AND TO BE ARROGANT IS TO BE A SNOB
+ BUT ARE THEY NO CUNNING NATURES NO TENDER HEARTS NO SOUL'S HUMBLE SIMPLE AND TRUTH LOVING
+ PONDER WELL ON THIS QUESTION SWEET YOUNG LADIES
+ PRAY CAPTAIN SAYS I AS I WAS GOING DOWN AND SHE IS A CABIN IS A MAN NEVER OVERTAKEN BY DEBT IN THIS PASSAGE
+ WHY THERE'S NOT I'M FOR A MAN TO BE SICK IN IT REPLIED HE WHAT A CURSED LIAR FOR I AM SICK AS A HORSE QUOTH I ALREADY WHAT A BRAIN UPSIDE DOWN HEY DAY
+ SICK SICK
+ SICK SICK
+ WHEN SHALL WE GET A LAND
+ THE WIND CHOPPED ABOUT
+ DEATH THEN I SHALL MEET HIM FULL IN THE FACE
+ CAPTAIN CROCHET FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE LET US GET ASHORE
+ WAS NOT DEMOCRITUS WHO LOVED TEN TIMES MORE THAN I TURNED CLERK OF ABDIR
+ NAY IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME YOU MAY READ THE CHAPTER FOR YOUR PAINS
+ INTEREST HOWEVER STILL RUNS ON IN BOTH CASES THE PERIODICA OR ACCIDENT ARE PAYMENT OF IT JUST SERVING TO KEEP THE MEMORY OF THE AFFAIR ALIVE TILL AT LENGTH IN SOME EVIL HOUR POP COMES A CREDITOR UPON EACH AND BY DEMANDING PRINCIPLE UPON THE SPOT TOGETHER WITH FULL INTEREST TO THE VERY DAY MAKES THEM BOTH FEEL THE FULL EXTENT OF THEIR OBLIGATIONS
+ AS THE READER FOR I HATE YOUR RIVES HAS A THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF HUMAN NATURE I NEED NOT SAY MORE TO SATISFY HIM THAT MY HERO COULD NOT GO ON AT THIS RATE WITHOUT SOME SLIGHT EXPERIENCE OF THESE INCIDENTAL MEMENTOES
+ TO SPEAK THE TRUTH HE HAD WANTONLY INVOLVED HIMSELF IN A MULTITUDE OF SMALL BOOK DEBTS OF THIS STAMP WHICH NOTWITHSTANDING EUGENIUS'S FREQUENT ADVICE HE TOO MUCH DISREGARDED THINKING THAT AS NOT ONE OF THEM WAS CONTRACTED THROUGH ANY MALIGNANCY BUT ON THE CONTRARY FROM AN HONESTY OF MIND AND THE MERE JOCUNDITY OF HUMOUR THEY WOULD ALL OF THEM BE CROSSED OUT IN CAUSE
+ EUGENIA WOULD NEVER ADMIT THIS AND WOULD OFTEN TELL HIM THAT ONE DAY OR RATHER HE WOULD CERTAINLY BE RECKONED WITH AND HE WOULD OFTEN ADD IN AN ACCENT OF SORROWFUL APPREHENSION TO THE UTTERMOST MIGHT
+ WHAT INCLINED EUGENIUS TO THE SAME OPINION WAS AS FOLLOWS
+ YORICK FOLLOWED EUGENIUS WITH HIS EYES TO THE DOOR HE THEN CLOSED THEM AND TO NEVER OPENED THEM MORE
+ ALAS POYOIC
+ NOW THIS IS HOW AUTHOUR HUNTED THE STAG
+ AND THE LAST DOG THAT WAS LET LOOSE WAS A FAVORITE DOG OF ARTHUR GAVAIL WAS HIS NAME
+ THEN THEY SOUNDED THE DEATH HORN FOR SLAYING AND THEY ALL GATHERED AROUND
+ ONE WISHED THAT IT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE LADY BEST BELOVED BY HIM AND ANOTHER TO THE LADY WHOM HE LOVED BEST
+ AND AFTER MIDDAY THEY BEHELD AN UNHAPPILY LITTLE MAN UPON A HORSE AND AFTER HIM A DAME OR A DAMSEL ALSO ON HORSEBACK AND AFTER HER A KNIGHT OF LARGE STATURE BOWED DOWN AND HANGING HIS HEAD LOW AND SORROWFULLY AND CLAD IN BROKEN AND WORTHLESS ARMOUR
+ I KNOW NOT WHO THEY ARE SAID HE BUT I KNOW SAID GUENEVER THIS IS THE KNIGHT WHOM GERAN PURSUIT AND METHINKS THAT HE COMES NOT HERE BY HIS OWN FREE WILL
+ BUT GERAN HAS OVERTAKEN HIM IN AVENGED THE INSULT TO THE MAIDEN TO THE UTTERMOST
+ LADY SAID HE AT THE GATE THERE WAS A KNIGHT AND I SAW NEVER A MAN OF SO PITIFUL AN ASPECT TO LOOK UPON HIS HE
+ I DO SAID HE HE TELLS ME THAT HE IS EDARINE THE SON OF NUD
+ THEN SHE REPLIED I KNOW HIM NOT
+ SO GUANEVER WENT TO THE GATE TO MEET HIM AND HE ENTERED
+ AND DURRANCE GREET THEE WELL AND IN GREETING THEE HE COMPELLED ME TO COME HITHER TO DO THY PLEASURE FOR THE INSULT WHICH THY MAIDEN RECEIVED FROM THE DWARF NO WHERE DID HE OVERTAKE THEE
+ SIR SAID SHE WHEN THINKEST THOU THAT GERAN WILL BE HERE
+ TO MORROW LADY I THINK YOU WILL BE HERE WITH THE MAIDEN
+ I AM LORD SAID HE AND I HAVE MET WITH MUCH TROUBLE AND RECEIVED WOUNDS UNSUPPORTABLE
+ WELL THAT ARTHUR FROM WHAT I HEAR IT BEHOVES GWENEVER TO BE MERCIFUL TOWARDS THEE
+ THE MERCY WHICH THOU DESIREST LORD SAID SHE WILL I GRANT TO HIM SINCE IT IS AS INSULTING TO THEE THAT AN INSULT SHOULD BE OFFERED TO ME AS TO THYSELF
+ THUS WILL IT BE BEST TO DO SAID ARTHUR LET THIS MAN HAVE MEDICAL CARE UNTIL IT BE KNOWN WHETHER HE MAY LIVE
+ TOOK ONE OF HER IN HER HANDMAID SAID HE
+ IN THE STEWARD OF THE HOUSEHOLD SO ORDERED HER
+ AND BEING YOUNG HE CHANGED HIMSELF AND GREW TO HATE THE SIN THAT SEEMED SO LIKE HIS OWN OF MODRED AT HIS NEPHEW AND FELL AT LAST IN THE GREAT BATTLE FIGHTING FOR THE KING
+ AND WHEN DURHAM CAME TO THE PLACE WIG ONE OF HER WAS HE SALUTED HER
+ THEN THEY WENT IN AND DISMOUNTED
+ HEAVEN PROTECT THEE SAID ARTHUR AND THE WELCOME OF HEAVEN BE UNTO THEE
+ AND INASMUCH AS THOU HAST VANQUISHED EDIN THE SON OF NUD THOU HAST HAD A PROSPEROUS CAREER
+ AND FROM THAT TIME SHE BECAME HIS WIFE
+ AND THE MAIDEN TOOK UP HER ABODE IN THE PALACE AND SHE HAD MANY COMPANIONS BOTH MEN AND WOMEN AND THERE WAS NO MAIDEN MORE ESTEEMED THAN SHE IN THE ISLAND OF BRITAIN
+ AND A YEAR AND A SECOND AND A THIRD HE PROCEEDED THUS UNTIL HIS FAME HAD FLOWN OVER THE FACE OF THE KINGDOM
+ AND HE GREETS THEE WELL AS AN UNCLE SHOULD GREET HIS NEPHEW AND AS A VASSAL SHOULD GREET HIS LORD
+ AND THE NEIGHBORING CHIEFS KNOWING THIS GROW INSOLENT TOWARD HIM AND COVERED HIS LAND IN POSSESSIONS
+ AND ATHATEL DERANT THE CAUSE OF THE MISSION AND OF THE COMING OF THE AMBASSADORS TO HIM OUT OF CORNWALL TRULY SAID DURRANCE BE IT TO MY ADVANTAGE OR DISADVANTAGE LORD I WILL DO ACCORDING TO THY WILL CONCERNING THIS EMBASSY
+ WHAT DISCOURSE SAID GUENEVER DO I HEAR BETWEEN YOU
+ SAID DURRANT I THINK I SHALL HAVE ENOUGH OF KNIGHTHOOD WITH ME AND THEY SET FORTH
+ AND NEVER WAS THERE SEEN A FAIRER HOST JOURNEYING TOWARDS THE SEVERN
+ AND HE SAID TO DURRANCE I AM A FEEBLE AND AN AGED MAN AND WHILST I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE DOMINIONS FOR THEE AND FOR MYSELF I DID SO
+ AND EVERYONE ASKED THAT WHICH HE DESIRED
+ AND THEY WERE NOT LONG IN GIVING SO EAGER WAS EVERY ONE TO BESTOW GIFTS AND OF THOSE WHO CAME TO ASK GIFTS NONE DEPARTED UNSATISFIED
+ THEN GERADES AND EMBASSES TO THE MEN OF CORNWALL TO ASK THEM THIS
+ AND THEY ALL SAID THAT IT WOULD BE THE FULNESS OF JOY AND HONOUR TO THEM FOR GERANK TO COME AND RECEIVE THEIR HOMAGE
+ SO HE RECEIVED THE HOMAGE OF SUCH AS WERE THERE
+ AND THE DAY AFTER THE FOLLOWERS OF ARTHUR INTENDED TO GO AWAY
+ DRAINT AS HE HAD BEEN USED TO DO WHEN HE WAS AT ARTHUR'S COURT FREQUENTED TOURNAMENTS
+ BEFORE DURHAM'T THE SCOURGE OF THE ENEMY I SAW STEEDS WHITE WITH FOAM AND AFTER THE SHOUT OF BATTLE A FEARFUL TORRENT
+ THESE TIDINGS CAME TO URBAN
+ NOT I BY MY CONFESSION UNTO HEAVEN SAID SHE THERE IS NOTHING MORE HATEFUL UNTO ME THAN THIS
+ AND THE TIS SHE SAID IN THE WORDS SHE HAD SPOKEN AWOKE HIM
+ AN EVIL BETIDE ME SAID HE IF THOU RETURNEST HERE UNTIL THOU KNOWEST WHETHER I HAVE LOST MY STRENGTH SO COMPLETELY AS THOU DIDST SAY
+ THEN GERAN WENT TO SEE URBAN
+ SIR SAID HE I AM GOING UPON A QUEST AND I AM NOT CERTAIN WHEN I MAY COME BACK
+ TAKE HEED THEREFORE UNTO THY POSSESSIONS UNTIL MY RETURN
+ BUT ONE PERSON ONLY WILL GO WITH ME
+ AND HE DESIRED ENA TO MOUNT HER HORSE AND TO RIDE FORWARD AND TO KEEP A LONG WAY BEFORE HIM
+ AND UNLESS I SPEAK UNTO THEE SAY NOT THOU ONE WORD EITHER
+ AND THOUGH THOU SHOULDST DESIRE TO SEE MY DEFEAT IN MY DEATH BY THE HANDS OF THOSE MEN YET DO I FEEL NO DREAD
+ AND HE RECEIVED HIM AND THAT NOT FEEBLY
+ AND SAY NOT ONE WORD UNTO ME UNLESS I SPEAK FIRST UNTO THEE
+ I WILL DO AS FAR AS I CAN LORD SAID SHE ACCORDING TO THY DESIRE
+ AH MAIDEN SAID HE IT IS VAIN TO A TEMPORARY SEATING FORWARD
+ I CANNOT BY ANY MEANS REFRAIN FROM SLEEP THROUGH WEARINESS SAID HE DO THOU THEREFORE WATCH THE HORSES AND SLEEP NOT
+ AND WHEN SHE SAW THE DAWN OF DAY APPEAR SHE LOOKED AROUND HER TO SEE IF HE WERE WAKING AND THEREUPON HE WOKE
+ AND THEY LEFT THE WOOD AND THEY CAME TO AN OPEN COUNTRY WITH MEADOWS ON ONE HAND AND MO WAS MOWING THE MEADOWS
+ MY LORD HE ADDED WILL IT BE DISPLEASING TO THEE IF I ASK WHENCE THOU COMEST ALSO
+ WILT THOU FOUL MY COUNSEL SAID THE YOUTH AND TAKE THY MEAL FROM ME
+ WHAT SORT OF MEAL HE INQUIRED
+ THEN THEY WASHED AND TOOK THEIR REPAST
+ I GO NOW LORD SAID HE TO MEET THE NIGHT AND TO CONDUCT HIM TO HIS LODGING
+ I WILL DO LORD SAID SHE AS THOU SAYEST
+ AND AFTER THEY HAD EATEN AND DRANK JOAN WENT TO SLEEP AND SO DID EEN IT ALSO
+ THE DATE SEEMED UNIMPORTANT BUT THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD THE OFFICES AND MEN OF THE SHIP HAVE BEEN UNREMITTINGLY BUSY
+ BOWS ATTACKED THE SHIP'S DOORS SURVEYED REMILISSED AND BESTOWED THEM SAVING VERY MUCH SPACE BY UNSTOING NUMEROUS CASES IN STOWING THE CONTENTS IN THE LAZARET
+ WITHOUT STEAM THE LEAK CAN NOW BE KEPT UNDER WITH THE HAND PUMP BY TWO DAILY EFFORTS OF A QUARTER OF AN HOUR TO TWENTY MINUTES
+ AS THE SHIP WAS AND IN HER PRESENT HEAVILY LATE IN CONDITION IT WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE TAKEN THREE TO FOUR HOURS EACH DAY
+ THE LARGE GREEN TENT WAS PUT UP AND PROPHES OF FORTS MADE FOR IT
+ THE ENGINE STAFF AND ANERSSON'S PEOPLE ON THE ENGINES SCIENTISTS WAS TOYING THEIR LABORATORS THE COOK REFITTING HIS GALLEY AND SO FORTH NOT A SINGLE SPOT BUT HAD ITS BAND OF WORKERS
+ THE MEN'S BASE SUCH AS IT IS THEREFORE EXTENDS FROM THE FORE HATCH THE STEM ON THE MAIN DECK
+ UNDER THE FORECASTLE ARE STALLS OF FIFTEEN PONIES THE MAXIM IN THE SPACE WOULD HOLD THE NARROW IRREGULAR SPACE IN FRONT IS PACKED TIGHT WITH FIRE
+ IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FORECASTLE BULKAD IS A SMALL BOOBY HATCH THE ONLY ENTRANCE OF THE MEN'S MESTECK AND BAD WEATHER
+ ABAFT THE FORE HATCH IS THE ACE HOUSE
+ WE MANAGED TO GET THREE TONS OF ICE ONE HUNDRED SIXTY TWO COCKASES OF MUTTON AND THREE COCKASES OF BEEF BESIDES SOME BOXES OF SWEETBREADS AND KIDNEYS INTO THIS SPACE
+ THE SACKS CONTAINING THIS LAST ADDED TO THE GOODS ALREADY MENTIONED MAKE A REALLY HEAVY AND ONE IS NATURALLY ANXIOUS CONCERNING IT BUT EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BY LASHING AND SECURING HAS BEEN DONE
+ FORAGE I ORIGINALLY ORDERED THIRTY TONS OF COMPRESSED OATEN HAY FROM MELBOURNE
+ THE SCENE IS WHOLLY ENCHANTING IN SUCH A VIEW FROM SOME SHELTERED SUNNY CORNER IN A GARDEN WHICH BLAZES WITH MASSES OF RED AND GOLDEN FLOWERS TENDS TO FEELINGS OF INEXPRESSIBLE SATISFACTION WITH ALL THINGS
+ A GREAT MASS OF PEOPLE ASSEMBLED
+ KAY AND I LUNCH WITH A PARTY IN THE ZEAL AND COMPANYSHIP RUPEHOO
+ TELEGRAM TO SAY TARANOVA HAD ARRIVED SUNDAY NIGHT
+ A THIRD SLEDGE STANDS ACROSS THE BREAK OF THE POOP IN THE SPACE HITHERTO OCCUPIED BY THE AFTERWENTCH
+ THE QUANTITY IS TWO AND A HALF TONS AND THE SPACE OCCUPIED CONSIDERABLE
+ THE SHIP WAS OVER TWO FEET BY THE STERN BUT THIS WILL SOON BE REMEDIED
+ THEY MUST PERFORCE BE CHAINED UP AND THEY ARE GIVEN WHAT SHELTERS AFFORDED ON DECK BUT THEIR POSITION IS NOT ENVIABLE
+ IT IS A PATHETIC ATTITUDE DEEPLY SIGNIFICANT OF COLD AND MISERY OCCASIONALLY SOME POOR BEAST AMIDST A LONG PATHETIC WINE
+ THERE ARE GENERALLY ONE TO ONE WATCH WHICH EASES MATTERS BUT IT IS A SQUASH
+ LATER IN THE DAY THE WIND HAS VEERED TO THE WESTWARD HITTING US SLIGHTLY
+ OATES AND ATKINSON WITH INTERMITTENT ASSISTANCE FROM OTHERS WERE BUSY KEEPING THE PONIES ON THEIR LEGS
+ THERE WAS NOTHING FOR IT BUT TO GRAPPLE WITH THE EVIL AND NEARLY ALL HANDS WERE LABORING FOR HOURS IN THE WEIGHTS OF THE SHIP HEAVING COAL SACKS OVERBOARD AND RELASHING THE PETROL CASES ET CETERA IN THE BEST MAN OF POSSIBLE UNDER SUCH DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES
+ NO SOONER WAS SOME SEMBLANCE OF ORDER RESTORED THAN SOME EXCEPTIONALLY HEAVY WAY WOULD TEAR AWAY THE LASHING AND THE WORK HAD TO BE DONE ALL OVER AGAIN
+ FROM THIS MOMENT ABOUT FOUR A M THE ENGINE BECAME THE CENTRE OF INTEREST
+ THE WATER GAINED IN SPITE OF EVERY EFFORT
+ THE OUTLOOK APPEARED GRIM
+ THE AMOUNT OF WATER WHICH WAS BEING MADE WITH THE SHIP SO ROUGHLY HANDLED WAS MOST UNCERTAIN
+ WILLIAMS HAD TO CONFESS HE WAS BEATEN AND MUST DRAW FIRES WHAT WAS TO BE DONE
+ THE BUILT PUMP IS DEPENDENT ON THE MAIN ENGINE
+ ON ONE OCCASION I WAS WASTE DEEP WHEN STANDING ON THE RAIL OF THE HOOF
+ THE AFTER GOD WERE ORGANIZED IN TWO PARTIES BY EVANS TO WORK BUCKETS THE MEN WERE KEPT STEADILY GOING ON THE CHOKED HAND PUMPS THIS SEEMED ALL THERE COULD BE DONE FOR THE MOMENT AND WHAT A MEASURED ACCOUNT IS THE SOLE SAFEGUARD OF THE SHIP FROM SINKING PRACTICALLY AN ATTEMPT TO BALER OUT
+ OCCASIONALLY A HEAVY SEA WOULD BEAR ONE OF THEM AWAY AND HE WAS ONLY SAVED BY HIS CHAIN
+ THE FOG HAD TAKEN THIS MORNING MEAL AND NOW LAY CURLED UP ON A BED OF MOSS
+ WHENEVER THE FAWN CAUGHT UP HE WAS QUITE CONTENT TO FRISK ABOUT
+ THE DANGER WAS CERTAIN NOW IT WAS NEAR
+ THE HOUSE HAD STRUCK A TRAIL WHERE SHE TURNED AND THE FAWN WAS SAFE
+ ONE WAS ROWING THE OTHER HAD A GUN IN HIS HAND WHAT SHOULD SHE DO
+ HER TIRED LAKES COULD NOT PROPEL THE TIRET BORDERING
+ THE DOE SAW THE BOAT NEARING HER
+ IN A MOMENT MORE THE BOAT WAS ON HER AND THE MEN AT THE OARS HAD LEANED OVER AND CAUGHT HER
+ I WAS TORMENTED BY THIRST BUT HAD ABSTAINED FROM DRINKING FOR MANY DAYS ACCORDING TO THE DOCTOR'S ORDERS
+ THAT OLD MAN CEASE TO GIVE SO MUCH ANNOYANCE YET SOMETIMES HE APPEARED TO ME IN DREAMS
+ FELICHHA GIVEN THEM ORDERS NOT TO SPEAK TO ME OF THIS
+ THIS MAID HAD STOLEN FROM ME CERTAIN LITTLE THINGS OF SOME IMPORTANCE AND IN HER FEAR OF BEING DETECTED SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY GLAD IF I HAD DIED
+ ACCORDINGLY SHE ALLOWED ME TWICE TO TAKE AS MUCH AS I COULD OF THE WATER SO THAT IN GOOD EARNEST I SWALLOWED MORE THAN A FLASK FULL I THEN COVERED MYSELF AND BEGAN TO SWEAT AND FELL INTO A DEEP SLEEP
+ THEY SAY THAT MY POOR FRIEND WAS ON THE POINT OF FALLING TO THE GROUND SO GRIEVED WAS HE TO HEAR THIS
+ AFTERWARDS HE TOOK AN UGLY STATE AND BEGAN TO BEAT THE SERVING GIRL WITH ALL HIS MIGHT SHOUTING OUT AH TRAITORS YOU HAVE KILLED HIM FOR ME THEN
+ SHE MAY INDEED HAVE SAVED MY LIFE SO LED ME A HELPING HAND FOR I HAVE SWEATED AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT
+ FELICI RECOVERED HIS SPIRITS DRIED AND MADE ME COMFORTABLE AND I BEING CONSCIOUS OF A GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN MY STATE BEGAN TO RECKON ON RECOVERY
+ JUST THEN THE OTHER DOCTOR BERNARDINO PUT IN HIS APPEARANCE WHO AT THE BEGINNING OF MY ILLNESS HAD REFUSED TO BLEED ME
+ MYSTWENT CHESSKA THAT MOST ABLE MEN EXCLAIMED OH POWER OF NATURE
+ SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE REQUIRES AND THE PHYSICIANS KNOW NOTHING
+ THAT SAINT BOATUNES RUB BERNARDINO MADE ANSWER SAYING IF HE HAD DRUNK ANOTHER BOTTLE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN CURED UPON THE SPOT
+ AFTERWARDS HE TURNED TO ME AND ASKED IF I COULD HAVE DRUNK MORE WATER
+ I ANSWERED NO BECAUSE I HAD ENTIRELY QUENCHED MY THIRST
+ IN LIKE MANNER SHE WAS ASKING FOR WHAT SHE WANTED WHEN THE POOR YOUNG MAN BEGGED YOU TO BLEED HIM
+ IF YOU KNEW THAT HIS RECOVERY DEPENDED UPON HIS DRINKING TWO FLASKS OF WATER WHY DID YOU NOT SAY SO BEFORE
+ YOU MIGHT THEN HAVE BOASTED OF HIS CURE
+ AT THESE WORDS THE WRETCHED QUACK SULKILY DEPARTED AND NEVER SHOWED HIS FACE AGAIN
+ THE VERY EVENING I WAS TAKEN WITH GREAT PRECAUTIONS IN THE CHAIR WELL WRAPPED UP AND PROTECTED FROM THE COLD
+ DO NOT PERMIT HIM ANY IRREGULARITIES FOR THOUGH HE HAS ESCAPED THIS TIME ANOTHER DISORDER NOW WOULD BE THE DEATH OF HIM
+ THEN HE TURNED TO ME AND SAID MY BENVENUTO BE PRUDENT COMMIT NO EXCESSES AND WHEN YOU ARE QUITE RECOVERED I BEG YOU TO MAKE ME A MADONNA WITH YOUR OWN HAND AND I WILL ALWAYS PAY MY DEVOTIONS TO IT FOR YOUR SAKE
+ SO I MADE MY MIND UP AND PREPARED TO TRAVEL
+ THAT DAY MANY FRIENDS CAME TO SEE ME AMONG OTHERS PIERRE LAUNDI WHO WAS THE BEST AND DEAREST FRIEND I EVER HAD
+ NEXT DAY THERE CAME A SURGEON NICCOLO DE MONTALA WHO WAS ALSO A VERY GREAT FRIEND OF MINE
+ I HAD HARBOURED HIM IN ROME AND PROVIDED FOR HIS COSTS WHILE HE HAD TURNED MY WHOLE HOUSE UPSIDE DOWN FOR THE MAN WAS SUBJECT TO A SPECIES OF DRY SCAB WHICH HE WAS ALWAYS IN THE HABIT OF SCRATCHING WITH HIS HANDS
+ MEANWHILE THAT ABLE PHYSICIAN FRANCISCO DE MONTAWAQUE ATTENDED TO MY CUE WITH GREAT SKILL
+ THERE THEY SEATED ME TO WAIT UNTIL THE DUKE WENT BY
+ MANY OF MY FRIENDS AT COURT CAME UP TO GREET ME AND EXPRESSED SURPRISE THAT I HAD UNDERGONE THE INCONVENIENCE OF BEING CARRIED IN THAT WAY WHILE SO SHATTERED BY ILLNESS THEY SAID THAT I OUGHT TO HAVE WAITED TILL I WAS WELL AND THEN TO HAVE VISITED THE DUKE
+ AT THESE WORDS MYSTRAGOSTINO THE DUKE'S TAILOR MADE HIS WAY THROUGH ALL THOSE GENTLEMEN AND SAID IF THAT'S ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW YOU SHALL KNOW IT AT THIS VERY MOMENT
+ GEORGE WAS A PAINTER WHOM I HAVE MENTIONED HAPPENED JUST THEN TO PASS AND MARZTROAGASINO EXCLAIMED THERE IS THE MEN WHO ACCUSED YOU NOW YOU KNOW YOURSELF IF IT BE TRUE OR NOT
+ AS FIERCELY AS I COULD NOT BEING ABLE TO LEAVE MY SEAT I ASKED GEORGE JOE JOE IF IT WAS TRUE THAT HE HAD ACCUSED ME
+ HE DENIED THAT IT WAS SO AND THAT HE HAD EVER SAID ANYTHING OF THE SWORD
+ MARZTRO AUGUSTINO RETORTED YOU GALLOWS BIRD
+ DON'T YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW IT FOR MOST CERTAIN
+ GEORGE JOE MADE OFF AS QUICKLY AS HE COULD REPEATING THAT HE HAD NOT ACCUSED ME
+ THEN AFTER A SHORT WHILE THE DUKE CAME BY WHEREUPON I HAD MYSELF RAISED UP BEFORE HIS EXCELLENCY AND HE HALTED
+ THE DUKE GAZED AT ME AND MARVELED I WAS STILL ALIVE AFTERWARDS HE BADE ME TAKE HEED TO BE AN HONEST MAN AND REGAIN MY HEALTH
+ WHEN I REACHED HOME NICCOLO DAUDO CAME TO VISIT ME AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD ESCAPED ONE OF THE MOST DREADFUL PERILS IN THE WORLD QUITE CONTRARY TO ALL HIS EXPECTATIONS FOR HE HAD SEEN MY RUIN WRITTEN WITH INDELIBLE INK NOW I MUST MAKE HASTE TO GET WELL AND AFTERWARDS TAKE FRENCH LEAVE BECAUSE MY JEOPARDY CAME FROM A QUARTER AND A MAN WHO WAS ABLE TO DESTROY ME
+ I ANSWERED THAT I HAD DONE NOTHING TO DISPLEASE HIM BUT THAT HE HAD INJURED ME AND TOLD HIM ALL THE AFFAIR ABOUT THE MINT
+ HE REPEATED GET HANDS AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN AND BE OF GOOD COURAGE FOR YOU WILL SEE OF VENGEANCE EXECUTED SOONER THAN YOU EXPECT
+ I THE BEST ATTENTION TO MY HEALTH GAVE PIERTRO PAGOLO ADVISE ABOUT STAMPING THE COINS AND THEN WENT OFF UPON MY WAY TO ROME WITHOUT SAYING A WORD TO THE DUKE OR ANYBODY ELSE
+ YOU WANT THEM TO IMMORTALIZE THAT FEROCIOUS TYRANT
+ YOU HAVE NEVER MADE ANYTHING SO EXQUISITE WHICH PROVES YOU OUR INVETERATE FOE AND THERE DEVOTED FRIEND AND YET THE POPE AND HE HAVE HAD IT TWICE IN MINE TO HANG YOU WITHOUT ANY FAULT OF YOURS
+ IT WAS FIRMLY BELIEVED THAT DUKE ALISONRO WAS THE SON OF POPE CLEMENT
+ MESSER FRANCESCO USED ALSO TO SAY AND SWEAR BY ALL HIS SAINTS THAT IF HE COULD HE WOULD HAVE ROBBED ME OF THE DYES FOR THAT MEADOW
+ I RESPONDED THAT HE HAD DONE WELL TO TELL ME SO AND THAT I WOULD TAKE SUCH CARE OF THEM THAT HE SHOULD NEVER SEE THEM MORE
+ I NOW SENT TO FLORENCE TO REQUEST LORENCINO THAT HE WOULD SEND ME THE REVERSE OF THE MEADOW
+ NICCOLO DE MONTALAIS GUTO TO WHOM I HAD WRITTEN WROTE BACK SAYING THAT HE HAD SPOKEN TO THAT MAD MELANCHOLY PHILOSOPHER LORENZINOR FOR IT HE HAD REPLIED THAT HE WAS THINKING NIGHT AND DAY OF NOTHING ELSE AND THAT HE WOULD FINISH IT AS SOON AS HE WAS ABLE
+ NEVERTHELESS I WAS NOT TO SET MY HOPES UPON HIS REVERSE BUT I HAD BETTER INVENT ONE OUT OF MY OWN HEAD AND WHEN I HAD FINISHED IT I MIGHT BRING IT WITHOUT HESITATION TO THE DUKE FOR THIS WOULD BE TO MY ADVANTAGE
+ I COMPOSED THE DESIGN OF A REVERSE WHICH SEEMED TO ME APPROPRIATE AND PRESSED THE WORK FORWARD TO MY BEST ABILITY
+ THIS BEING SO AS HE WAS A FELLOW OF MUCH HUMOR WE USED OFTEN TO LAUGH TOGETHER ABOUT THE GREAT CREDIT HE HAD GAINED
+ I THEREFORE DISMOUNTED AT ONCE GOT MY FOWLING PEASE READY AND AT A VERY LONG RANGE BROUGHT TWO OF THEM DOWN WITH A SINGLE BALL
+ I NEVER USED TO SHOOT WITH MORE THAN ONE BALL AND WAS USUALLY ABLE TO HIT MY MARK AT TWO HUNDRED CUBITS WHICH CANNOT BE DONE BY OTHER WAYS OF LOADING
+ I LIFTED MY FOOT AND LET THE WATER RUN OUT THEN WHEN I HAD MOUNTED WE MADE HASTE FOR ROME
+ WE HAVE SUCCEEDED IN AMASSING TWO HUNDRED OUNCES OF SILVER ENOUGH I TRUST TO ERECT A HANDSOME BRONZE FIGURE
+ TO BE SURE IT SEEMS A SHAME YET IF I COULD STEAL THE MONEY THIS PRIEST IS BOASTING ABOUT I COULD LIVE AT EASE FOR THE REST OF MY DAYS AND SO HE BEGAN CASTING ABOUT HOW BEST HE MIGHT COMPASS HIS PURPOSE
+ BUT THE PRIEST FAR FROM GUESSING THE DRIFT OF HIS COMRADE'S THOUGHTS JOURNEYED CHEERFULLY ON TILL THEY REACHED THE TOWN OF CUA
+ HERE THERE IS AN ARM OF THE SEA WHICH IS CROSSED IN FERRY BOATS THAT START AS SOON AS SOME TWENTY OR THIRTY PASSENGERS ARE GATHERED TOGETHER AND IN ONE OF THESE BOATS THE TWO TRAVELLERS EMBARKED
+ WHEN THE BOATMEN AND PASSENGERS HEARD THE SPLASH AND SAW THE PRIEST STRUGGLING IN THE WATER THEY WERE AFRAID AND MADE EVERY EFFORT TO SAVE HIM BUT THE WIND WAS FAIR AND THE BOAT RUNNING SWIFTLY UNDER THE BELLYING SAILS SO THEY WERE SOON A FEW HUNDRED YARDS OFF FROM THE DROWNING MAN WHO SANK BEFORE THE BOAT COULD BE TURNED TO RESCUE HIM
+ WHEN HE SAW THIS THE ROON FEIGNED THE UTMOST GRIEF IN DISMAY AND SAID TO HIS FELLOW PASSENGERS DISPREASED WHOM WE HAVE JUST LOST WAS MY COUSIN HE WAS GOING TO KIYOTO TO VISIT THE SHRINE OF HIS PATRON AND AS I HAPPENED TO HAVE BUSINESS THERE AS WELL WE SETTLED TO TRAVEL TOGETHER
+ NOW ALAS BY THIS MISFORTUNE MY COUSIN IS DEAD AND I AM LEFT ALONE
+ HE SPOKE SO FEELINGLY AND WEPT SO FREELY THAT THE PASSENGERS BELIEVED HIS STORY AND PITIED AND TRIED TO COMFORT HIM
+ THEN THE ROAN AND SAID TO THE BOATMAN
+ WHAT THINK YOU GENTLEMEN ADDED HE TURNING TO THE OTHER TRAVELLERS
+ THEY OF COURSE WERE ONLY TOO GLAD TO AVOID ANY HINDRANCE TO THEIR ONWARD JOURNEY AND ALL WITH ONE VOICE AGREED TO WHAT THE RUIN AND HAD PROPOSED AND SO THE MATTER WAS SETTLED
+ WHEN AT LENGTH THEY REACHED THE SHORE THEY LEFT THE BOAT AND EVERY MAN WENT HIS WAY BUT THE ROGNET OVERJOYED IN HIS HEART TOOK THE WANDERING PRIEST'S LUGGAGE AND PUTTING IT WITH HIS OWN PURSUED HIS JOURNEY TO KIOTA
+ FORTUNE FAVORING HIS SPECULATIONS HE BEGAN TO AMASS GREAT WEALTH AND LIVED AT HIS EASE DENYING HIMSELF NOTHING AND IN THE COURSE OF TIME HE MARRIED A WIFE WHO BORE HIM A CHILD
+ SINCE THEN ALL HAS GONE WELL WITH ME YET HAD I NOT BEEN POOR I HAD NEVER TURNED ASSASSIN NOR THIEF
+ HE WOULD HAVE FLED INTO THE HOUSE BUT THE GHOST STRETCHED FORTH ITS WITHERED ARM AND CLUTCHING THE BACK OF HIS NECK SCOWLED AT HIM WITH A VINDICTIVE GLARE AND A HIDEOUS GHASTLINESS OF MEAN SO UNSPEAKABLY AWFUL THAT ANY ORDINARY MAN WOULD HAVE SWOONED WITH FEAR
+ AT LENGTH UNDONE BY SUCH CEASELESS VEXATION TOOK A BAY FELL ILL AND KEPT MUTTERING OH MISERY MISERY THE WANDERING PRIEST IS COMING TO TORTURE ME
+ NOW IT CHANCED THAT THE STORY REACHED THE EARS OF A CERTAIN WANDERING PRIEST WHO LODGED IN THE NEXT STREET
+ AND HIDING HIS HEAD UNDER THE COVERLET HE LAY QUIVERING ALL OVER
+ THREE YEARS AGO AT THE COO AN AFFAIR YOU FLUNG ME INTO THE WATER AND WELL YOU REMEMBER IT
+ HAPPILY CONTINUED THE PRIEST I HAD LEARNED TO SWIM AND TO DIVE AS A BOY SO I REACHED THE SHORE AND AFTER WANDERING THROUGH MANY PROVINCES SUCCEEDED IN SETTING UP A BRONZE FIGURE TO BUDDHA THUS FULFILLING THE WISH OF MY HEART
+ ON MY JOURNEY HOMEWARDS I TOOK A LODGING IN THE NEXT STREET AND THERE HEARD OF YOUR MARVELOUS AILMENT
+ THINKING I COULD DIVINE ITS CAUSE I CAME TO SEE YOU AND AM GLAD TO FIND I WAS NOT MISTAKEN
+ AND WOULD IT NOT ILL BECOME ME TO BEAR MALICE
+ REPENT THEREFORE AND ABANDON YOUR EVIL WAYS
+ TO SEE YOU DO SO I SHOULD ESTEEM THE HEIGHT OF HAPPINESS
+ BE OF GOOD CHEER NOW AND LOOK ME IN THE FACE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT I AM REALLY A LIVING MAN AND NO VENGEFUL GOBLIN COME TO TORMENT YOU
+ IN A FIT OF MADNESS I WAS TEMPTED TO KILL AND ROB YOU
+ FORTUNE BEFRIENDED ME EVER AFTER BUT THE RICHER I GREW THE MORE KEENLY I FELT HOW WICKED I HAD BEEN AND THE MORE I FORESAW THAT MY VICTIM'S VENGEANCE WOULD SOME DAY OVERTAKE ME
+ HAUNTED BY THIS THOUGHT I LOST MY NERVE TILL ONE NIGHT I BEHELD YOUR SPIRIT AND FROM THAT TIME FORTH FELL ILL
+ BUT HOW YOU MANAGED TO ESCAPE IN HER STILL ALIVE IS MORE THAN I CAN UNDERSTAND
+ A GUILTY MAN SAID THE PRIEST WITH A SMILE SHUDDERS AT THE RUSTLING OF THE WIND OR THE CHATTERING OF HIS STORK'S BEAK A MURDERER'S CONSCIENCE PREYS UPON HIS MIND TILL HE SEES WHAT IS NOT
+ EVERY WELL ORDERED JAPANESE HOME OF THE OLD FASHIONED KIND HAS ITS LITTLE SHRINE WHICH IS THE CENTRE OF THE RELIGIOUS LIFE OF THE HOUSE
+ SHE IT IS WHO SETS THE RICE AND WINE BEFORE THE ANCESTRAL TABLETS WHO LIGHTS THE LITTLE LAMP EACH NIGHT AND WHO SEES THAT AT EACH FEAST DAY IN ANNIVERSARY SEASON THE PROPER FOOD IS PREPARED AND SET OUT FOR THE HOUSEHOLD GODS
+ THESE MUST BE KEPT CAREFULLY BY THE MOTHER AS A SAFEGUARD AGAINST THEM MANY EVILS THAT BESET CHILD LIFE
+ VISITS TO NOTED TEMPLES BY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS OFTEN RESULT IN ADDITIONS TO THE CHILD'S COLLECTION
+ ALL THESE ARE PUT TOGETHER BY THE CAREFUL MOTHER AND PRESERVED AS JEALOUSLY AS QUEEN ARTHUR KEPT THE CHARRED STICK THAT GOVERNED THE DESTINY OF HER SON
+ AS THE CHILDREN ARRIVE AT YEARS OF DISCRETION THESE TREASURES PASS OUT OF THE MOTHER'S FAITHFUL KEEPING INTO THE HANDS OF THEIR ACTUAL OWNERS AND THERE USUALLY KEPT STORED AWAY IN SOME LITTLE USE DRAWER CABINET UNTIL DEATH REMOVES THE NECESSITY FOR ANY FURTHER SAFEGUARDS OVER LIFE
+ EACH ANIMAL BRINGS ITS OWN KIND OF GOOD OR BAD LUCK INTO THE HOUR DAY OR YEAR OVER WHICH IT PRESIDES AND ONLY A SKILFUL BALANCER OF PROSE AND CONS CAN READ A RIGHT THE COMBINATIONS AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THE LUCK OF ANY PARTICULAR HOUR IN ANY PARTICULAR DAY OF ANY PARTICULAR YEAR WILL BE
+ FOR THE GREATER EVENTS OF FAMILY LIFE THE HOME PROPHECIES ARE FELT TO BE TOO UNCERTAIN AND THIS SERVICES OF THE FORTUNE TELLER MUST BE CALLED HIM
+ NO WELL MANAGED FAMILY WOULD THINK OF BUILDING A NEW HOUSE WITHOUT FINDING IN WHAT DIRECTION TO FACE THE FRONT DOOR
+ AFTER THIS MANNER HAS BEEN SETTLED AND THE HOUSE IS FAIRLY BEGUN THERE ARE OCCASIONAL CRISES IN ITS CONSTRUCTION UPON WHICH MUCH DEPENDS
+ OF THESE THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THE DAY WHEN THE ROOF IS RAISED
+ THE HOUSE OWNER THEN DECIDE WHETHER THE DAY SET BY THE BUILDER IS A LUCKY ONE FOR HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY
+ A PRESENT OF MONEY TO EACH WORKMAN IS ALSO IN ORDER AND WILL CONDUCE TO THE RAPID AND FAITHFUL EXECUTION OF THE JOB AT HAND WHEN AT LAST THE HOUSE IS FINISHED AND CARPENTERS AND PLASTERERS ARE READY TO LEAVE IT THE LOCAL FIREMEN WHO HAVE ASSISTED ALL ALONG IN THE BUILDING AS UNSKILLED LABORERS OFTEN ASCEND TO THE ROOF AND FROM THE RIDGE POLE CAST DOWN CAKES FOR WHICH THE CHILDREN IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD SCRAMBLED JOYFULLY
+ ALL COME WHO CAN AND THOSE WHO CANNOT COME SINCE SERVANTS OR PROVISIONS
+ ON THE DAY AFTER THE DEATH OFTEN IN THE EVENING THE BODY MUST BE PLACED IN A CASK SHAPED COFFIN THAT UNTIL RECENTLY WAS A STYLE COMMONLY IN USING JAPAN
+ NOW AMONG THE WEALTHIER CLASSES THE LONG COFFIN HAS SUPERSEDED THE SMALL SQUARE OR ROUND ONE BUT THE SMALLER EXPENSE CONNECTED WITH A BURIAL IN THE OLD WAY MAKES A SURVIVAL OF AN OLD TYPE A NECESSITY FOR THE MAJORITY OF JAPANESE
+ AT AN APPOINTED TIME ALL THE RELATIVES ASSEMBLED IN THE DEATH CHAMBER AND PREPARATIONS ARE MADE FOR THE BATHING OF THE CORPSE
+ THERE IS NO OFFICIAL CEREMONIAL MOURNING OF PARENTS FOR THEIR CHILDREN NOR DOES CUSTOM REQUIRE THEM TO PERFORM ANY OF THE LAST RIGHTS OR ATTEND THE FUNERAL
+ UPON THE YOUNGER BROTHERS AND SISTERS FALLS THE DUTY OF ATTENDING TO ALL THE LAST SAD MINISTRATIONS
+ WHEN THE BODY HAS BEEN WASHED AS IS DRESSED IN WHITE AND SYLPATAE WHENEVER THE FAMILY CAN AFFORD IT
+ THE BODY TO BE PLACED IN THE COFFIN MUST BE FOLDED INTO A SITTING POSTURE AND THE CHIN RESTING UPON THE KNEES THE POSITION OF THE MUMMIES FOUND IN MANY ABORIGINAL AMERICAN TOMBS
+ THIS DIFFICULT TO US APPARENTLY IMPOSSIBLE FEAT SAFELY ACCOMPLISHED THERE ARE PLACED IN THE COFFIN A NUMBER OF SMALL THINGS THAT THE DEAD TAKES WITH HIM TO THE NEXT WORLD
+ THE SINGLE EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE ABOUT METAL IS THAT SMALL COPPER COINS MAY BE PUT IN TO FEED THE OLD HAG WHO GUARDS THE BANK OF THE RIVER OF DEATH
+ LAST OF ALL THE VACANT SPACES IN THE COFFIN ARE FILLED IN WITH BAGS OF TEA
+ SO LONG AS THE COFFIN IS IN THE HOUSE IT MUST BE WATCHED OVER CONTINUALLY
+ IT IS THEIR DUTY TO SEE THAT THE INCENSE BURNING BEFORE THE COFFIN IS NEVER ALLOWED TO GO OUT WHILE THE FOOD FOR THE DEAD IS RENEWED AT REGULAR INTERVALS BY THE MOURNERS THEMSELVES
+ THERE ARE FEW ENLIGHTENED JAPANESE WHO WILL DEFEND THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF CRUELTY TO THE AFFLICTED OR WHO DO NOT LONG FOR SOME CHANGE BUT SO GREAT IS THE FORCE OF CONSERVATISM IN THIS REGARD SO HAUNTING THE FEAR THAT ANY CHANGE MAY INDICATE A LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE DEAD THAT REFORM ADVANCES SLOWLY
+ INDIVIDUAL INSTANCES OCCUR IN WHICH SOME OF THE WORST FEATURES OF THESE CUSTOMS ARE MODIFIED
+ A CASE IN POINT IS THAT OF THE LATE MISTER FUCUSALAH A MAN WHOSE LIFE WAS DEVOTED TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF HIS COUNTRYMEN IN MODERN WAYS AND WHO IN HIS DEATH CONTINUED HIS TEACHING
+ IN HIS WILL HE PROVIDED THAT HIS BODY WAS TO BE BURIED WITHOUT WASHING IN THE CLOTHING IN WHICH HE DIED
+ THROUGH THIS GROWING FEELING AND THE UNSELFISHNESS OF MATERNAL AFFECTION MAY COME IN TIME THE RELEASE FROM THESE MOURNFUL CEREMONIES
+ JUST BEFORE THE PROCESSION STARTS A RELIGIOUS CEREMONY IS HELD AT THE HOUSE WHICH IS ATTENDED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE DECEASED AND WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME AS THAT PERFORMED AT THE CEMETERY
+ ON THE DAY OF THE BURIAL GREAT BUNCHES OF NATURAL FLOWERS ARE SENT TO THE DEAD EACH BUNCH SO LARGE AS TO REQUIRE THE SERVICES OF ONE MAN TO CARRY IT
+ SOMETIMES WITH THE GIFT A MAN IS SENT TO TAKE PART IN THE PROCESSION BUT IF THE GIVER FEELS TOO POOR TO HIGHER A MAN THIS BURDEN TOO FALLS UPON THE BEREAVED HOUSEHOLD FOR ETIQUETTE REQUIRES THAT ALL FLOWERS SCENT BE BORNE TO THE GRAVE BY UNIFORMED COOLIES WHO MARCH IN THE FUNERAL TRAIN
+ ANOTHER FAVOURITE PRESIDENT THIS TIME AMONG BUDDHISTS IS A CAGE OF LIVING BIRDS TO BE BORN TO THE GRAVE AND RELEASED THEREON
+ IT SEEMS MORE LIKE A BRIDLE THAN A BURIAL
+ DURING THIS PERIOD THE SPIRIT OF THE DECEASED IS SUPPOSED TO BE STILL INHABITING THE HOUSE AND A TABLET OR SHYNESS SET UP IN THE DEATH CHAMBER BEFORE WHICH FOOD AND FLOWERS ARE RENEWED DAILY
+ HE TARRIED AT KENNISH SURE A FEW DAYS AND CAME UP TO GARDO WHERE I THEN RESIDED HE WAS APPARENTLY WITHOUT ANY BUSINESS THAT WOULD SUPPORT HIM BUT HE SOON BECAME ACQUAINTED WITH MY SON THOMAS WITH WHOM HE HUNTED FOR A LONG TIME AND MADE HIS HOME WITH HIM AT MY HOUSE WINTER CAME ON AND HE CONTINUED HIS DAY
+ THE ENRAGED HUSBAND WELL KNOWING THAT HE SHOULD FEEL A BLOW IF HE WAITED TO HEAR THE ORDER REPEATED INSTANTLY RETREATED AND WENT DOWN THE RIVER TO HIS CATTLE
+ WE PROTECTED THE POOR ANTICOAK WOMAN AND GAVE HER VICTUALS AND ALLAN SYMPATHIZED WITH HER IN HER MISFORTUNES TILL SPRING WHEN HER HUSBAND CAME TO HER ACKNOWLEDGED HIS FORMER ERRORS AND THAT HE HAD ABUSED HER WITHOUT A CAUSE PROMISED A REFORMATION AND SHE RECEIVED HIM WITH EVERY MARK OF A RENEWAL OF HER AFFECTION
+ THE INDIANS WERE SOON ANSWERED BY THE AMERICAN OFFICER THAT THE WAMPUM WAS CORDIALLY ACCEPTED AND THAT A CONTINUANCE OF PEACE WAS ARDENTLY WISHED FOR
+ MY SON THOMAS WENT WITH THEM WITH ALLAN'S HORSE AND CARRIED THE GOOD
+ ALLIN ON FINDING THAT HIS ENEMIES HAD GONE CAME BACK TO MY HOUSE WHERE HE LIVED AS BEFORE BUT OF HIS RETURN THEY WERE SOON NOTIFIED AT NIAGARA AND NETTLES WHO MARRIED PRISCILLA RAMSE WITH A SMALL PARTY OF INDIANS CAME ON TO TAKE HIM
+ NETTLES AT LENGTH ABANDONED THE CHASE WENT HOME AND ALLEN ALL IN TATTERS CAME IN
+ BY RUNNING IN THE WOODS HIS CLOTHING HAD BECOME TORN INTO RAGS SO THAT HE WAS IN A SUFFERING CONDITION ALMOST NAKED
+ ALAN MADE HIS TROUSERS HIMSELF AND THEN BUILT A RAFT ON WHICH HE WENT DOWN THE RIVER TO HIS OWN PLACE AT MOUNT MARRIS
+ THERE AN INDIAN GAVE HIM SOME REFRESHMENT AND A GOOD GUN WITH WHICH HE HASTENED ON TO LITTLE BEARDS DOWN WHERE HE FOUND HIS CORE
+ NOT DARING TO RISK HIMSELF AT THAT PLACE FOR FEAR OF BEING GIVEN UP HE MADE HER BUT A SHORT VISIT AND CAME IMMEDIATELY TO GARDO
+ THE LOVE OF LIBERTY HOWEVER ADDED TO HIS NATURAL SWIFTNESS GAVE HIM SUFFICIENT STRENGTH TO MAKE HIS ESCAPE TO HIS FORMER CASTLE OF SAFETY
+ HIS PURSUERS CAME IMMEDIATELY TO MY HOUSE WHERE THEY EXPECTED TO HAVE FOUND HIM SECRETED AND UNDER MY PROTECTION
+ STILL UNSATISFIED AND DOUBTING MY VERACITY THEY ADVISED MY INDIAN BROTHER TO USE HIS INFLUENCE TO DRAW FROM ME THE SECRET OF HIS CONCEALMENT WHICH THEY HAD AN IDEA THAT I CONSIDERED OF GREAT IMPORTANCE NOT ONLY TO HIM BUT TO MYSELF I PERSISTED IN MY IGNORANCE OF HIS SITUATION AND FINALLY THEY LEFT ME
+ HE CAME TO MY HOUSE IN THE NIGHT AND AWOKE ME WITH THE GREATEST CAUTION FEARING THAT SOME OF HIS ENEMIES MIGHT BE WATCHING TO TAKE HIM AT A TIME WHEN AND IN A PLACE WHERE IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO MAKE HIS ESCAPE
+ AT THAT TIME ALLEYNE LAY IN A SECRET PLACE IN THE GULF A SHORT DISTANCE ABOVE MY FLATS IN A HOLE THAT HE ACCIDENTALLY FOUND IN THE ROCK NEAR THE RIVER
+ THERE'S LITTLE DANGER IN THIS QUARTER I'M SURE SO I'M MERE AS WELL BE FRIENDS WITH THE POOR CHILD
+ AH WHY NOT
+ BUT HESITATED
+ THE LETTER ASKING ME TO VISIT HER WAS THE FIRST I HAVE EVER RECEIVED FROM HER
+ BUT SINCE SHE ASKED ME TO VISIT HER WE JUDGED SHE HAD OFTEN AND MIGHT WISH TO BECOME FRENZY AND SO I ACCEPTED THE INVITATION
+ SURELY TWO GIRLS WILL HAVE A PET OF TIME IN THIS LONELY OLD PLACE THAT ONE COULD HAVE ALONE
+ OH YES SHE HAS CORRECTED LOUISE
+ YOU MEAN PATRICIA DOYLE YES
+ THEN WE MAY CONCLUDE SHE'S LEFT OUT OF THE ARRANGEMENT SAID BETH CALMLY
+ YOU'LL FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN CHANCE AND FIVE MIGHTY HARD
+ WHY MY DEAR COUSIN I DON'T WANT AUNT JANE'S MONEY
+ MY MOTHER AND I ARE AMPLY PROVIDED FOR AND I AM ONLY HERE TO FIND DRESS FROM MY SOCIAL DUTIES AND TAKE IT ACQUAINTED WITH MY DEAD FATHER'S SISTER THAT IS ALL
+ MY FATHER TEACHES MUSIC AND MOTHER'S CALLS HIM CONTINUALLY FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO KEEP OUT OF DEBT
+ WE'VE NEVER SEEN US SENT OF HER MONEY ALTHOUGH FATHER HAS TRIED AT TIMES TO BORE ENOUGH TO HELP HIM OUT OF HIS DIFFICULTIES
+ ARE YOU TO KISS HER WHEN SHE ASKED ME TO AND IT SENT A SHIVER ALL DOWN MY BACK
+ FOR MY PART I AM FOND OF EVERYONE AND IT DELIGHTS ME TO FASTER ROUND INVALIDS AND ASSIST THEM
+ YOU SAY YOU LIKE TO CATHERINE'S AND I DON'T
+ YOU TRY TO MAKE ME THINK YOU DON'T WANT EMPRESS WHEN YOU'RE AS ANXIOUS TO GET IT AS I
+ THEY CALL ME BETH SULLENLY
+ I COULDN'T LIVE IN THIS OUT OF THE WAY CORNER OF THE WORLD YOU KNOW
+ BUT SUPPOSE SHE LEADS A TOIL PERSISTENT BETH
+ LOUISE SEEMED TO ME
+ IT'S A MAGNIFICENT ESTATE SAID BETH LOOKING AT HER COUSIN DOUBTFULLY
+ NOW SHALL WE BE FRIENDS SHE ASKED LIGHTLY
+ TO BE SURE I SHOULD WANT IT ALL MY DEAR
+ SUCH A GIRL SAID IT HAD NEVER BEEN HER PRIVILEGE TO HAVE BEFORE AND WHEN HER SUSPICIONS WERE FORGOTTEN SHE BECAME FAIRLY RESPONSIVE AND BRIGHT AND WONDERFULLY
+ SILAS SHE SAID WHEN HE ENTERED WOULD YOU THINK OF MY NIECES
+ THEY ARE VERY CHARMING GIRLS HE ANSWERS ALTHOUGH THEY ARE THERE IN AGE WHEN FEW GIRLS SHOW TO GOOD ADVANTAGE
+ WHY DOES YOU NOT INVITE KENNES TO DENOUNE THE BOY
+ HE IS CONSTANTLY SAYING DISAGREEABLE THINGS
+ VERY WELL SAID THE LAWYER QUIETLY WHICH OF MY NIECES DO YOU PREFER
+ ASKED YOUR LADY AFTER A PAUSE I CANNOT SAY ON SO SHORT AN ACQUAINTANCE HE ANSWERED WITH GRAVITY WHICH DO YOU PREFER JANE
+ THEY ARE EQUALLY UNSATISFACTORILY SHE ANSWERED
+ I CANNOT IMAGINE ELMHURST BELONGING TO EITHER SILAS
+ I MUST SEE THAT OF THE NIECE THE ONE WHO DEFIES ME AND REFUSES TO ANSWER MY SECOND LETTER
+ THERE WOULD BE A DOZEN AIRS TO FIGHT FOR MY MONEY AND DEAR ALL ENHEARS WOULD BE SOLD TO STRANGERS SHE RESUMED WITH BITTERNESS
+ IN ONE CORNER OF THE LITTLE ROOM KENNETH FORBES SQUATTED UPON A BENCH WITH AN EMPTY PINE BOX HELD CARELESSLY IN HIS LAP
+ WHILE DUNCAN WORKED THE BOY WAS BUSY WITH HIS PENSES BUT NEITHER HAD SPOKEN FOR AT LEAST A HALF HOUR
+ THEN RIDING SLOWLY UP THE HEDGE BORDERED ROAD HIS TROUBLES ONCE MORE ASSAILED HIM AND HE WONDERED IF THERE WAS NOT SOME SPORT UPON THE BROAD EARTH TO WHICH HE COULD FLY FOR RETIREMENT UNTIL THE GIRLS HAD LEFT HELMHURST FOR GOOD
+ NOR RASHIDE AND HE LOOKED UP TO DISCOVER THAT HE HAD NEARLY RUN DOWN A PEDESTRIAN A STOUT LITTLE MAN WITH A BUNDLE UNDER HIS ARM WHO HELD UP ONE HAND AS IF TO ARREST HIM
+ WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO ASKED THE BOY
+ THAT IS THE SAME JANE AS EVER HE RESPONDED WITH A SHAKE OF HIS GRIZZLED HEAD
+ DO YOU KNOW I SAW A HOPE SHE PERFORMED AND I'D BE GLAD TO SEE HER AGAIN THEY TELL ME SHE'S GOT MONEY
+ AUNT JANE'S RICH AUNT JANE
+ ECHOED THE MAN QUICKLY WOULD YOU NAME LAD
+ DON'T MY GIRLS I TAKE IT
+ ANOTHER LONG PAUSE THEN THE BOY SUDDENLY TURNED QUESTIONER
+ YOU KNOW AN MISS MERRICK SIR
+ I USED TO WHEN WE WERE BOTH YOUNGER
+ KENNETH STOPPED SHORT AND THE MAYOR STOPPED AND THE LITTLE MAN WITH A WHIMSICAL SMILE AT THE BOY'S ASTONISHMENT ALSO STOPPED
+ JOHN MUSIC THAT'S ME
+ YOU WERE THE TIN SMITH
+ THEY KEPT TRACK OF HER BECAUSE SHE SUDDENLY BECAME RICH AND A GREAT LADY AND THAT WAS A SURPRISING THING TO HAPPEN TO AMERICK
+ THANK YOU LAD RETURNED THE MAN GRATEFULLY I THOUGHT A LITTLE EXERCISE WOULD DO ME GOOD BUT THIS THREE MILES HAS SEEMED LIKE THIRTY TO ME
+ I WILL SAID THE MAN
+ THE BOY TURNED AWAY BUT IN A MOMENT HALTED AGAIN
+ HIS INTEREST IN MISS JANE'S BROTHER JOHN WAS EXTRAORDINARY
+ THEY ARE BUT LUKEWARM LOVERS WHO CAN CONTENT THEMSELVES WITH A DIALOGUE CARRIED ON AT BEAUCHART DISTANCE
+ IF THERE BE A NELYSAUMON IT IS THIS
+ HIS OWN DAUGHTER HIS ONLY DAUGHTER OF THE BEST BLOOD OF SOUTHERN ARISTOCRACY BEAUTIFUL ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING TO SECURE HIM A SPLENDID ALLIANCE HOLDING KNIGHTLY ASSIGNATION WITH A HORSE HUNTER
+ HE COULD WELL CONCEDE SO MUCH TO HER CAPRICE SINCE HER STAYING AT HOME COULD BE NO DISADVANTAGE TO THE CAUSE THAT HAD PROMPTED HIM TO THE STERN COUNCIL
+ IT IS ALREADY KNOWN THAT THIS ROAD PASSED THE HACIENDA OF CASA DEL CORVO AT SOME DISTANCE FROM THE HOUSE AND ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RIVER
+ ON REACHING THE CORPSE HE DISMOUNTED LED HIS HORSE IN AMONG THE UNDERWOOD HITCHED HIM BY LOOPING HIS BRIDLE REIN AROUND THE TOPMOST TWIGS OF AN ELASTIC BOW THEN DETACHING A LONG ROPE OF TWISTED HORSE HAIR FROM THE HORN OF HIS SADDLE AND INSERTING HIS ARM INTO ITS COIL HE GLIDED OUT TO THE EDGE OF THE ISLAND ON THAT SIDE THAT LAY TOWARDS THE HACIENDA
+ BEFORE FORSAKING THE SHADOW OF THE CORPSE HE CAST A GLANCE TOWARD THE SKY AND AT THE MOON SAILING SUPREMELY OVER IT
+ THE DROLL CONCEIT WHICH HAS SO OFTENUS THE NOCTURNAL INABRIATE OF GREAT CITIES APPEARED TO PRODUCE A LIKE EFFECT UPON THE NIGHT PATROLLER OF THE PRAIRIE AND FOR A MOMENT THE SHADOW LATE DARKENING HIS BROW DISAPPEARED
+ IT'S NOT LIKELY IF THIS ARE UNLESS IT BE THE OWNER OF A BAD CONSCIENCE WHO CAN'T SLEEP
+ CLOTH THERE'S ONE SUCH WITHIN THOSE WALLS
+ IF HE BE ABROAD THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE OF HIS SEEING ME ON THE OPEN GROUND NOT THAT I SHOULD CARE A STRAW IF IT WERE ONLY MYSELF TO BE COMPROMISED
+ IT'S NO USE WAITING UPON THE MOON DEUCE DEIKER
+ IT IS TRUE HE HAD DESIGNS UPON THE HACIENDA BUT THESE DID NOT CONTEMPLATE EITHER ITS CASH PLATE OR JEWELLERY IF WE EXCEPT THE MOST PRECIOUS JEWEL IT CONTAINED THE MISTRESS OF THE MANSION HERSELF
+ THE CHURCH BELLS WERE RINGING AND PEOPLE ON THE AVENUE GOING BY TO SERVICE TURNED CURIOUS INQUIRING LOOKS UP AT THE GREAT HOUSE AND THEN WENT ON TALKING OF THE RECENT EVENTS WHICH HAD SO STRANGELY ENTERED INTO AND MADE HISTORY IN THE CITY
+ AND ALL THROUGH HIS IMPASSIONED APPEAL THIS MORNING THERE WAS A NOTE OF SADNESS AND REBUKE AND STERN CONDEMNATION THAT MADE MANY OF THE MEMBERS PALE WITH SELF ACCUSATION OR WITH INWARD ANGER
+ RAYMOND HAD VOTED TO CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER YEAR THE SALOON
+ THE CHRISTIANS OF RAYMOND STOOD CONDEMNED BY THE RESULT
+ FOR THAT HAD BEEN THE FACT IN RAYMOND FOR YEARS THE SALOON RULED
+ PRESIDENT MARSH SAT THERE HIS USUAL ERECT HANDSOME FIRM RIGHT SELF CONFIDENT BEARING ALL GONE HIS HEAD BOWED UPON HIS BREAST THE GREAT TEARS ROLLING DOWN HIS CHEEKS UNMINDFUL OF THE FACT THAT NEVER BEFORE HAD HE SHOWN OUTWARD EMOTION IN A PUBLIC SERVICE
+ WHAT IF HE HAD BEGUN TO DO AS JESUS WOULD HAVE DONE LONG AGO
+ WHEN HAD THE FIRST CHURCH YIELDED TO SUCH A BAPTISM OF TEARS
+ WHAT HAD BECOME OF ITS REGULAR PRECISE CONVENTIONAL ORDER OF SERVICE UNDISTURBED BY ANY VULGAR EMOTION AND UNMOVED BY ANY FOOLISH EXCITEMENT
+ THEY HAD BEEN LIVING SO LONG ON THEIR SURFACE FEELINGS THAT THEY HAD ALMOST FORGOTTEN THE DEEPER WELLS OF LIFE
+ THE MEETING WAS TENDER IT GLOWED WITH THE SPIRIT'S PRESENCE IT WAS ALIVE WITH STRONG AND LASTING RESOLVE TO BEGIN A WAR ON THE WHISKY POWER IN RAIMENT THAT WOULD BREAK ITS REIGN FOR EVER
+ SINCE THE FIRST SUNDAY WHEN THE FIRST COMPANY OF VOLUNTEERS HAD PLEDGED THEMSELVES TO DO AS JESUS WOULD DO THE DIFFERENT MEETINGS HAD BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY DISTINCT IMPULSES OR IMPRESSIONS
+ AND ALL THROUGH IT RAN ONE GENERAL CRY FOR DELIVERANCE FROM THE SALOON IN ITS AWFUL CURSE
+ GRAHAM HIS WIFE WERE BESIEGED BY INQUIRERS WHO WANTED TO KNOW WHAT LOREEN'S FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES WERE EXPECTED TO DO IN PAYING THEIR LAST RESPECTS TO HER
+ GREY HAD GONE UP TO VIRGINIA'S AND AFTER TALKING IT OVER WITH HER AND MAXWELL THE ARRANGEMENT HAD BEEN MADE
+ I AM AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN OPPOSED TO LARGE PUBLIC FUNERALS SAID GREY WHOSE COMPLETE WHOLESOME SIMPLICITY OF CHARACTER WAS ONE OF ITS GREATEST SOURCES OF STRENGTH BUT THE CRY OF THE POOR CREATURES WHO KNEW LOREEN IS SO EARNEST THAT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REFUSE THIS DESIRE TO SEE HER AND PAY HER POOR BODY SOME LAST LITTLE HONOUR WHAT DO YOU THINK MISTER MAXWELL
+ I WILL BE GUIDED BY YOUR JUDGMENT IN THE MATTER
+ I AM SURE THAT WHATEVER YOU AND MISS PAGE THINK BEST WILL BE RIGHT
+ UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES I HAVE A GREAT DISTASTE FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE DISPLAY AT SUCH TIMES BUT THIS SEEMS DIFFERENT
+ IT HAPPENED THAT THAT AFTERNOON A SOMEWHAT NOTED NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT WAS PASSING THROUGH RAYMOND ON HIS WAY TO AN EDITORIAL CONVENTION IN A NEIGHBOURING CITY
+ SHE WAS A COMMON STREET DRUNKARD AND YET THE SERVICES OF THE TENT WERE AS IMPRESSIVE AS ANY I EVER WITNESSED IN A METROPOLITAN CHURCH OVER THE MOST DISTINGUISHED CITIZEN
+ IT STRUCK ME OF COURSE BEING A STRANGER IN THE PLACE WITH CONSIDERABLE ASTONISHMENT TO HEAR VOICES LIKE THOSE ONE NATURALLY EXPECTS TO HEAR ONLY IN GREAT CHURCHES OR CONCERTS AT SUCH A MEETING AS THIS
+ MISTER MAXWELL SPOKE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEAD WOMAN HAD BEEN FULLY PREPARED TO GO BUT HE SPOKE IN A PECULIARLY SENSITIVE MANNER OF THE EFFECT OF THE LIQUOR BUSINESS ON THE LIVES OF MEN AND WOMEN LIKE THIS ONE
+ RAYMOND OF COURSE BEING A RAILROAD TOWN AND THE CENTRE OF THE GREAT PACKING INTERESTS FOR THIS REGION IS FULL OF SALOONS
+ THEN FOLLOWED WHAT WAS PERHAPS THE QUEER PART OF THIS STRANGE SERVICE
+ IT WAS ONE OF THE SIMPLEST AND AT THE SAME TIME ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE SIGHTS I EVER WITNESSED
+ THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A HUNDRED OF THESE WOMEN AND I WAS TOLD MANY OF THEM HAD BEEN CONVERTED AT THE MEETINGS JUST RECENTLY
+ THERE WAS NO ANSWER AND AFTER ONE OR TWO INEFFECTUAL ATTEMPTS PHRONSIE TURNED FEARFULLY AWAY
+ I'LL TRY AND SHE LAID A QUICK HAND ON THE NOSE
+ TWO RED SPOTS BURNED ON HER CHEEKS AND HER PALE BLUE EYES SNAPPED
+ I'M SURE I HEARD IT RAGING UP AND DOWN
+ I DON'T WANT ANY DINNER SAID CHARLOTTE DRAWING BACK
+ YES INDEED SAID POLLY CHEERILY JUST AS FINE AS CAN BE
+ ASSUREDLY SAID OLD MISTER KING WITH GREAT SATISFACTION IN POLLY'S PLEASURE AND AT HER SUCCESS IN DRAWING CHARLOTTE OUT
+ AND AFTER THIS THERE WERE NO MORE QUIET DAYS FOR CHARLOTTE CHALTERTON
+ OH BLESS ME AT YOU PHRONSIE IN PLEASED SURPRISE
+ YES GRANDPAPA SAID PHRONSIE COMING IN AND SHUTTING THE DOOR CAREFULLY I CAME ON PURPOSE TO SEE YOU ALL ALONE
+ SO YOU DID DEAR SAID MISTER KING HIGHLY GRATIFIED IN PUSHING AWAY HIS WRITING TABLE HE HELD OUT HIS HAND
+ OH NO GRANDPAPA CRIED PHRONSIE IN A RAPTURE I COULD NEVER BE TOO BIG FOR THAT SO SHE PERCHED UP AS OF OLD ON HIS KNEE THEN SHE FOLDED HER HANDS AND LOOKED GRAVELY IN HIS FACE
+ WELL MY DEAR WHAT IS IT
+ ASKED THE OLD GENTLEMAN PRESENTLY YOU'VE COME TO TELL ME SOMETHING I SUPPOSE
+ YES GRANDPAPA I HAVE SAID PHRONSIE DECIDEDLY AND IT IS MOST IMPORTANT TOO GRANDPAPA OH I DO WISH IT SO MUCH AND SHE CLASPED HER HANDS TIGHTER INSIDE
+ WELL THEN PHRONSIE IF YOU WANT IT I SUPPOSE IT MUST BE SAID MISTER KING QUITE AS A MATTER OF COURSE
+ OH SHE LEFT YOU EVERYTHING SHE HAD PHRONSIE A COUPLE OF MILLIONS OR SO IT IS WHY
+ CHARLOTTE POOR REPEATED THE OLD GENTLEMAN
+ WHY NO NOT EXACTLY HER FATHER ISN'T RICH BUT CHARLOTTE I THINK THEY DO VERY WELL ESPECIALLY AS I INTEND TO KEEP HER HERE FOR A WHILE AND THEN I SHALL NEVER LET HER SUFFER PHRONSIE NEVER INDEED
+ GRANDPAPA SAID PHRONSIE WASN'T MISSUS CHATTERTON AUNT TO CHARLOTTE
+ IF MISSUS CHATTERTON WAS AUNT TO CHARLOTTE PERSISTED PHRONSIE SLOWLY IT SEEMS AS IF CHARLOTTE OUGHT TO HAVE SOME OF THE MONEY IT REALLY DOES GRANDPAPA
+ MAYBE SAID THE OLD GENTLEMAN WITH A SHORT LAUGH AND I SHOULDN'T WONDER IF COUSIN YUNUS WAS SORRY OVER A FEW OTHER THINGS TOO PHRONSIE
+ WOULDN'T IT MAKE HER VERY GLAD IF I GAVE CHARLOTTE SOME OF THE MONEY
+ FOR ANSWER MISTER KING SET HER DOWN HASTILY ON THE FLOOR AND TOOK TWO OR THREE TURNS UP AND DOWN THE ROOM
+ OH I DO SO WISH I MIGHT SHE SAID THERE'S SO MUCH FOR A LITTLE GIRL LIKE ME
+ IT WOULD BE SO NICE TO HAVE CHARLOTTE HALF SOME WITH ME STILL NO ANSWER
+ I WAS WRITING A NOTE TO MISSUS FARGO SAID PHRONSIE PUTTING UP HER LIPS FOR A KISS
+ SURE AS I CAN BE PHRONSIE SAID OLD MISTER KING SMILING GOOD BYE DEAR
+ THERE THERE MY SISTER'S BOY SHALL NEVER SAY THAT BUT COME IN COMIN
+ NOT TO BE UNGRACIOUS THE YOUNG MAN THREW HIMSELF INTO A CHAIR
+ OH HANG IT UNCLE WHY CAN'T YOU LET ME ALONE
+ WHICH IS A WONDER INTERPOLATED PICKERING
+ I KNOW YOU DID UNCLE SAID PICKERING YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT'S GOOD
+ FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE PICKERING CRIED HIS UNCLE DARTING IN FRONT OF THE CHAIR IN ITS RESTLESS OCCUPANT DON'T SAY THAT AGAIN
+ I'VE BEEN A LAZY DOG ALL MY LIFE AND A GOOD FOR NOUGHT BUT I HOPE I'VE NOT SUNK TO THAT
+ THE NEXT MOMENT HE FELL BACK IN AMAZEMENT BEFORE THE IMPETUOUS BRUSH OF A STARRY EYED FLUSHED CHEEKED YOUNG WOMAN WHO DEMANDED
+ WHERE IS HE PETE MISS BILLY GASPED THE OLD MAN
+ AUNT HANNAH'S CHEEKS TOO WERE FLUSHED AND HER EYES STARRY BUT WITH DISMAY AND ANGER THE LAST BECAUSE SHE DID NOT LIKE THE WAY PETE HAD SAID MISS BILLY'S NAME
+ IT WAS ONE MATTER FOR HER TO OBJECT TO THIS THING BILLY WAS DOING BUT QUITE ANOTHER FOR PETE TO DO IT OF COURSE IT'S SHE
+ RETORTED AUNT HANNAH TESTILY AS IF YOU YOURSELF DIDN'T BRING HER HERE WITH YOUR CRAZY MESSAGES AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT PETE WHERE IS HE
+ INTERPOSED BILLY TELL MISTER BERTRAM I AM HERE OR WAIT I'LL GO RIGHT IN AND SURPRISE HIM
+ PETE HAD RECOVERED HIMSELF BY NOW BUT HE DID NOT EVEN GLANCE TOWARD AUNT HANNAH
+ MISS BILLY MISS BILLY YOU'RE AN ANGEL STRAIGHT FROM HEAVEN YOU ARE YOU ARE OH I'M SO GLAD YOU CAME
+ IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT NOW ALL RIGHT HE'S IN THE DEN MISS BILLY
+ BILLY TURNED EAGERLY BUT BEFORE SHE COULD TAKE SO MUCH AS ONE STEP TOWARD THE DOOR AT THE END OF THE HALL AUNT HANNAH'S INDIGNANT VOICE ARRESTED HER BILLY STOPPED
+ PETE GO TELL YOUR MASTER THAT WE ARE HERE AND ASK IF HE WILL RECEIVE US PETE'S LIPS TWITCHED
+ BUT HIS FACE WAS PRETERNATURALLY GRAVE WHEN HE SPOKE
+ A FLYING FIGURE BRUSHED BY HIM AND FELL ON ITS KNEES BY THE COUCH WITH A LOW CRY BERTRAM'S EYES FLEW OPEN
+ DONDLING FOUND HIM THERE A MINUTE LATER POLISHING A SILVER TEASPOON WITH A FRINGED NAPKIN THAT HAD BEEN SPREAD OVER BERTRAM'S TRAY
+ IN THE HALL ABOVE AUNT HANNAH WAS CRYING INTO WILLIAM'S GREY LINEN DUSTER THAT HUNG ON THE HALL RACK AUNT HANNAH'S HANDKERCHIEF WAS ON THE FLOOR BACK AT HILLSIDE
+ THEN VERY GRADUALLY IT DAWNED OVER THEM THAT THERE WAS AFTER ALL SOMETHING STRANGE AND UNEXPLAINED IT ALL
+ AS IF TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE WAS HERE LIKE THIS HE DREW HER EVEN CLOSER BERTRAM WAS SO THANKFUL THAT HE DID HAVE ONE ARM THAT WAS USABLE
+ WHY OF COURSE STAMMERED BILLY I COULDN'T HELP THINKING THAT MAYBE YOU HAD FOUND OUT YOU DIDN'T WANT ME
+ DEMANDED BERTRAM ANGRY AND MYSTIFIED
+ AS FOR MY NOT PAINTING AGAIN YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND PETE DEARIE
+ SHE PULLED HERSELF HALF AWAY FROM BERTRAM'S ENCIRCLING ARM
+ BILLY'D YOU A QUIVERING SIGH
+ GOOD HEAVENS IS KATE THEN THIS TOO BERTRAM'S VOICE WAS SAVAGE NOW
+ WELL SHE WROTE A LETTER
+ BILLY LAUGHED GAILY BUT SHE SHIFTED HER POSITION AND DID NOT MEET HER LOVER'S EYES
+ AND YOU NEVER DID THINK FOR A MINUTE BILLY THAT YOU CARED FOR HIM
+ HE HAD NOT BEEN SLOW TO MARK THAT SWIFT LOWERING OF HER EYELIDS
+ BILLY WAS SO GLAD BERTRAM HAD TURNED THE QUESTION ON HER LOVE INSTEAD OF ARKWRIGHT'S
+ AFTER A MINUTE BILLY STIRRED AND SIGHED HAPPILY
+ YOU SEE I WASN'T IN LOVE WITH MISTER ARKWRIGHT
+ AND AND YOU DIDN'T CARE SPECIALLY FOR MISS WINTHROP
+ BILLY PUT A SOFT FINGER ON HIS LIPS
+ BERTRAM KISSED THE FINGER AND SUBSIDED HUMPH HE COMMENTED
+ WELL WHAT IS THAT IS THAT KATE TOO DEMANDED BERTRAM GRIMLY
+ THERE WAS ANOTHER SILENCE THEN SUDDENLY BERTRAM STIRRED
+ BILLY I'M GOING TO MARRY YOU TO MORROW HE ANNOUNCED DECISIVELY
+ I DON'T KNOW AS I CAN TRUST YOU OUT OF MY SIGHT TILL THEN YOU'LL READ SOMETHING OR HEAR SOMETHING OR GET A LETTER FROM KATE AFTER BREAKFAST TO MORROW MORNING THAT WILL SET YOU SAVING ME AGAIN AND I DON'T WANT TO BE SAVED THAT WAY
+ I'M GOING TO MARRY YOU TOMORROW I'LL GET HE STOPPED SHORT WITH A SUDDEN FROWN CONFOUND THAT LAW I FORGOT
+ FIVE DAYS INDEED SIR
+ I WONDER IF YOU THINK I CAN GET READY TO BE MARRIED IN FIVE DAYS
+ DON'T WANT YOU TO GET READY RETORTED BERTRAM PROMPTLY I SAW MARIE IT READ AND I HAD ALL I WANTED OF IT
+ IF YOU REALLY MUST HAVE ALL THOSE MILES OF TABLE CLOTHS AND NAPKINS AND DOILIES AND LACE RUFFLINGS WILL DO IT AFTERWARDS NOT BEFORE BUT
+ BESIDES I NEED YOU TO TAKE CARE OF ME CUT IN BERTRAM CRAFTILY
+ THE TENDER GLOW ON BILLY'S FACE TOLD ITS OWN STORY AND BERTRAM'S EAGER EYES WERE NOT SLOW TO READ IT
+ SWEETHEART SEE HERE DEAR HE CRIED SOFTLY TIGHTENING HIS GOOD LEFT ARM
+ BILLY MY DEAR
+ IT WAS AUNT HANNAH'S PLAINTIVE VOICE AT THE DOORWAY A LITTLE LATER
+ WE MUST GO HOME AND WILLIAM IS HERE TOO AND WANTS TO SEE YOU
+ YOU MEAN IT'LL BE BEFORE OCTOBER
+ AUNT HANNAH GLANCED FROM ONE TO THE OTHER UNCERTAINLY
+ YES NODDED BILLY DEMURELY
+ YES I KNOW THAT IS A GOOD WHILE CUT IN BERTRAM MERRILY
+ WE WANTED IT TO MORROW BUT WE HAD TO WAIT ON ACCOUNT OF THE NEW LICENSE LAW
+ YET SO STRONG WAS THE EFFECT UPON HIM OF CONTEMPLATING A LARGE FORTUNE THAT IN DESPITE OF REASON AND DESIRE HE LIVED IN EAGER EXPECTATION OF THE WORD WHICH SHOULD MAKE HIM RICH
+ A PART OF THAT IMPRESSION WAS DUE TO THE ENGAGEMENT WHICH HE MUST NOW FULFIL
+ TO SHUFFLE OUT OF THIS DUTY WOULD MAKE HIM TOO IGNOBLE EVEN IN HIS OWN EYES
+ BECAUSE IN HIS SALAD DAYS HE DALLIED WITH A GIRL WHO HAD INDEED MANY CHARMS STEP BY STEP HE HAD COME TO THE NECESSITY OF SACRIFICING HIS PROSPECTS TO THAT RAW ATTACHMENT
+ UNABLE TO THINK OF WORK HE LEFT THE HOUSE AND WANDERED GLOOMILY ABOUT REGENT'S PARK
+ HE FELT HIMSELF ILL USED BY DESTINY AND THEREFORE BY MARIAN WHO WAS FATE'S INSTRUMENT
+ HE WROTE TO MARIAN
+ WILL YOU LET ME HEAR OR COME AND SEEM
+ I SCARCELY THOUGHT OF BEFFIN AS LIKELY TO KILL HIMSELF
+ BUT WHY THE DEUCE DID HE GO ALL THE WAY OUT THERE
+ I HOPED YOU WOULD BRING ME SOME NEWS
+ POVERTY I CAN ONLY SUPPOSE
+ BUT I WILL SEE WELL DOWN I HADN'T COME ACROSS BIFFON FOR A LONG TIME
+ WAS HE STILL SO MERRY POOR
+ ASKED AVICUM COMPASSIONATELY
+ I AM AFRAID SO HIS BOOK FAILED UTTERLY
+ OH IF I HAD IMAGINED HIM STILL IN SUCH DISTRESS SURELY I MIGHT HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO HELP HIM
+ PERCHANCE HIS DEATH WAS IN PART ATTRIBUTABLE TO THAT HOPELESS LOVE
+ HE SENT ME A COPY OF HIS NOVEL SHE SAID AND I SAW HIM ONCE OR TWICE AFTER THAT
+ HAVING THIS SUBJECT TO CONVERSE UPON PUT THE TWO MORE QUICKLY AT EASE THAN COULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN THE CASE
+ AMY MIGHT TAKE A FOREMOST PLACE AMONG BRILLIANT WOMEN
+ ESPECIALLY NOW THAT HER FATHER IS THREATENED WITH BLINDNESS
+ IS IT SO SERIOUS
+ EVEN IF MISTER YULE RECOVERS HIS SIDE IT IS NOT AT ALL LIKELY THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK AS BEFORE
+ OUR DIFFICULTY IS A SO GRAVE THAT
+ HE PAUSED AND LET HIS HAND FAIL DESPONDENTLY
+ I HAVE A GOOD DEAL OF WILL YOU REMEMBER AND WHAT I HAVE SET MY MIND UPON NO DOUBT I SHALL SOME DAY ACHIEVE
+ THERE WAS SILENCE
+ THE LAST THREE YEARS HE CONTINUED HAVE MADE NO SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN MY POSITION
+ RECALL WHERE I STOOD WHEN YOU FIRST KNEW ME
+ JUST NOW I AM IN NEED OF A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT
+ YOU DON'T NOTICE ANY FALLING OFF IN MY WORK RECENTLY
+ DO YOU SEE MY THINGS IN THE CURRENT AND SO ON GENERALLY
+ SOMETIMES I BELIEVE I HAVE DETECTED YOU WHEN THERE WAS NO SIGNATURE
+ HER STORY IN THAT GIRL'S PIPER HAS ATTRACTED ATTENTION
+ AND I COULD SO EASILY PUT HER AT REST BY RENOUNCING ALL CLAIM UPON HER
+ I SURMISED THAT THAT YOU YOURSELF WOULD ALSO BE PUT AT REST BY SUCH A DECISION
+ DON'T LOOK AT ME WITH THAT IRONICAL SMILE HE PLEADED
+ I COULDN'T GO ABOUT DECLARING THAT I WAS HEARTBROKEN IN ANY EVENT I MUST BE CONTENT FOR PEOPLE TO JUDGE ME ACCORDING TO THEIR DISPOSITION AND JUDGMENTS ARE PRETTY SURE TO BE UNFAVOURABLE WHAT CAN I DO
+ THE CASE IS TOO DELICATE I FEAR FOR MY ADVICE
+ WELL I'LL GO BACK TO MY SCRIPLEY
+ AGAIN JASPER HELD THE WHITE SOFT HAND FOR A SUPERFLUOUS MOMENT
+ YET FOR SUCH FEELINGS HE REPROACHED HIMSELF AND THE REPROACH MADE HIM ANGRY
+ MARIAN COULD NOT MISTAKE THE AIR OF RESTLESS TROUBLE ON HER COMPANION'S SMOOTH COUNTENANCE
+ SHE HAD DIVINED THAT THERE WAS SOME GRAVE REASON FOR THIS SUMMONS AND THE PANTING WITH WHICH SHE APPROACHED WAS HALF CAUSED BY THE ANXIOUS BEATS OF HER HEART
+ HE BEGAN ABRUPTLY
+ HE GAVE HER SUCH DETAILS AS HE HAD OBTAINED THEN ADDED
+ THERE ARE TWO OF MY COMPANIONS FALLEN IN THE BATTLE
+ I OUGHT TO THINK MYSELF A LUCKY FELLOW MARRYING WHAT
+ YOU WERE BETTER FITTED TO FIGHT YOUR WAY JASPER
+ MORE OF A GREAT YE MEAN
+ HERE NO VERY WELL I DON'T
+ I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND ABOUT OUR AFFAIRS HE WENT ON PRESENTLY
+THIS
+ WILL YOU MARRY ME AND LET US TAKE YOUR CHAINS
+ YOU FEEL YOURSELF INDISPENSABLE TO YOUR FATHER AT PRESENT
+ I SHOULD BE SO AFRAID OF THE EFFECT UPON HIS HEALTH JASPER
+ SHE PAUSED AND LOOKED UP AT HIM TOUCHINGLY
+ DEAR I CAN'T FEEL IT WOULD BE MY DUTY TO ANNOUNCE YOU BECAUSE MY FATHER HAD BECOME BLIND
+ HAS ONE THING OCCURRED TO YOU
+ WILL HE CONSENT TO RECEIVE AN ALLOWANCE FROM A PERSON WHOSE NAME IS MISSUS MILVAIN
+ AND IF HE OBSTINATELY REFUSES WHAT THEN WHAT IS BEFORE HIM
+ SHE LISTENED ANXIOUSLY AND REFLECTED
+ AS I HAVE SAID THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS DOUBT WHETHER YOUR FATHER WOULD ACCEPT MONEY FROM YOU WHEN YOU WERE MY WIFE
+ IT ISN'T YOUR FAULT MARIAN AND WELL THEN THERE'S ONLY ONE THING TO DO
+ EXCEPT JASPER THAT IF FATHER IS HELPLESS I MUST FIND MEANS OF ASSURING HIS SUPPORT
+ DO YOU THINK THEM INSURMOUNTABLE
+ THAT IS JUST WHAT I HAVE DECIDED IS IMPOSSIBLE MARIAN YOU SHALL HAVE THE PLAIN TRUTH
+ I DON'T TRUST MYSELF
+ BUT SHALL HE FACE THEM WILLINGLY
+ PUT UP YOUR UMBRELLA MARIAN
+ WHAT DO I CARE FOR A DROP OF RAIN SHE EXCLAIMED WITH PASSIONATE SADNESS WHEN ALL MY LIFE IS AT STAKE HOW AM I TO UNDERSTAND YOU
+ EVERY WORD YOU SPEAK SEEMS INTENDED TO DISHEARTEN ME
+ WHY NEED YOU CONCEAL IT IF THAT IS THE TRUTH
+ IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN BY SAYING YOU DISTRUST YOURSELF
+ WE MUST SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN MARIAN
+ HOW AM I TO LIVE AN HOUR IN SUCH UNCERTAINTY AS THIS
+ I DO WISH IT
+ HER EMOTION HAD AN EFFECT ON HIM AND HIS VOICE TREMBLED
+ THERE IS NO NATURAL LAW THAT A CHILD SHOULD SURRENDER EVERYTHING FOR HER PARENTS
+ YOU KNOW SO MUCH MORE OF THE WORLD THAN I DO CAN'T YOU ADVISE ME
+ IS THERE NO WAY OF PROVIDING FOR MY FATHER
+ GOOD GOD THIS IS FRIGHTFUL MARIAN I CAN'T STAND IT
+ I WILL BE FAITHFUL TO YOU
+ HE HAD MADE A PRETENCE OF HOLDING HIS UMBRELLA OVER HER BUT MARIAN TURNED AWAY AND WALKED TO A LITTLE DISTANCE AND STOOD BENEATH THE SHELTER OF A GREAT TREE HER FACE AVERTED FROM HIM
+ MOVING TO FOLLOW HE SAW THAT HER FRAME WAS SHAKEN BY SOUNDLESS SOBBING
+ IN WHAT CAN THERE BE MORE SELFISHNESS
+ BUT I COULDN'T SAY A WORD THAT WOULD SEEM TO INVITE SUCH MISERY AS THIS
+ YOU DON'T LOVE ME JASPER AND THAT'S AN END OF EVERYTHING
+ HAPPINESS OR MISERY COME TO US BY FATE
+ IS IT IN MY POWER TO MAKE YOU HAPPY
+ BUT IF YOU HAD SAID YOU LOVED ME BEFORE THAT I SHOULD HAVE IT ALWAYS TO REMEMBER
+ IF I BELIEVE ANYTHING I BELIEVE THAT I DID LOVE YOU
+ WHAT CAN YOU SAY TO ME MORE THAN YOU HAVE SAID NOW
+ REMEMBER ME AS A MAN WHO DISREGARDED PRICELESS LOVE SUCH AS YOURS TO GO AND MAKE HIMSELF A PROUD POSITION AMONG FOOLS AND KNAVES INDEED THAT'S WHAT IT'S COME TO
+ SOON ENOUGH YOU WOULD THOROUGHLY DESPISE ME AND THOUGH I SHOULD KNOW IT WAS MERITED MY PERVERSE PRIDE WOULD REVOLT AGAINST IT
+ WHAT CAN BE SIMPLER THAN THE TRUTH
+ IT IS A THING THAT HAPPENS EVERY DAY EITHER IN A MAN OR WOMAN AND ALL THAT HONOUR DEMANDS IS THE COURAGE TO CONFESS THE TRUTH
+ MARIAN WILL YOU DO THIS WILL YOU LET HER ENGAGEMENT LAST FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS BUT WITHOUT OUR MEETING DURING THAT TIME
+ THAT SEEMS TO BE CHILDISH
+ THE RAIN FELL UNCEASINGLY AND WITH IT BEGAN TO MINGLE AN AUTOMA MIST
+ JASPER LAID A MOMENT THEN ASKED CALMLY
+ ARE YOU GOING TO THE MUSEUM YES
+ GO HOME AGAIN FOR THIS MORNING MARIAN YOU CAN'T WORK
+ THEY MUST AND I HAVE NO TIME TO LOSE
+ GOOD BYE SHE GAVE HIM HER HAND
+ THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER FOR AN INSTANT THEN MARIAN LEFT THE SHELTER OF THE TREE OPENED HER UMBRELLA AND WALKED QUICKLY AWAY
+ JASPER DID NOT WATCH HER HE HAD THE FACE OF A MAN WHO IS SUFFERING A SEVERE HUMILIATION
+ HIS SISTER SAID VERY LITTLE FOR SHE RECOGNISED GENUINE SUFFERING IN HIS TIMES AND ASPECT
+ A FEW WEEKS AGO HE ACTUALLY PROPOSED TO A WOMAN FOR WHOM HE DOES NOT PRETEND TO HAVE THE SLIGHTEST AFFECTION BUT WHO IS VERY RICH AND WHO SEEMED LIKELY TO BE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO MARRY HIM
+ YESTERDAY MORNING HE RECEIVED HER FINAL ANSWER A REFUSAL
+ YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THOUGH SURELY YOU NEED NO FRESH PROOF HOW UTTERLY UNWORTHY HE IS OF YOU
+ YOU ARE THE ONLY FRIEND I HAVE OF MY OWN SEX AND I COULD NOT BEAR TO LOSE YOU
+ SEVERAL DAYS PASSED BEFORE THERE CAME A REPLY
+ I MUST ONLY ASK THAT YOU WILL WRITE TO ME WITHOUT THE LEAST REFERENCE TO THESE TROUBLES TELL ME ALWAYS ABOUT YOURSELF AND BE SURE THAT YOU CANNOT TELL ME TOO MUCH
+ WE HAD THEN BUT LITTLE OF THAT MINUTE AND ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE INTERIOR OF THE CONFIDENT WHICH WAS REQUISITE FOR DETERMINATION OF THE PROBLEM
+ SEVERAL DIFFERENT PARTIES WERE THEREFORE ORGANIZED TO EXAMINE THE VARIOUS ROUTES SUPPOSED TO BE PRACTICABLE WITHIN THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN LIMITS OF THE UNITED STATES
+ THE ONLY DISCRIMINATION MADE WAS IN THE MORE PROMPT AND THOROUGH EQUIPMENT OF THE PARTIES FOR THE EXTREME NORTHERN LINE AND THIS WAS ONLY BECAUSE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST DIFFICULT OF EXECUTION OF ALL THE SURVEYS
+ INQUIRIES WERE MADE WITH REGARD TO GUNPOWDER WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY LED TO THE USE OF A COARSER GRAIN FOR ARTILLERY
+ THE OFFICERS OF THESE REGIMENTS WERE CHOSEN PARTLY BY SELECTION FROM THOSE ALREADY IN SERVICE IN THE REGULAR ARMY AND PARTLY BY APPOINTMENT FROM CIVIL LIFE
+ UNDER INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE PRESIDENT THE LIST WAS THEREFORE REVISED AND MODIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS NEW ELEMENT OF GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION
+ AFTER SOME FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE QUESTION THE VISITORS WITHDREW DISSATISFIED WITH THE RESULT OF THE INTERVIEW
+ THE QUARTERMASTER GENERAL ON HEARING OF THIS CONVERSATION HASTENED TO INFORM ME THAT IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE THAT THE APPOINT TO THE OFFICE HAD BEEN CONFOUNDED WITH HIS FATHER WHO WAS A WELL KNOWN WHIG BUT THAT HE THE SON WAS A DEMOCRAT
+ I ASSURED THE GENERAL THAT THIS WAS ALTOGETHER IMMATERIAL ADDING THAT IT WAS A VERY PRETTY QUARREL AS IT STOOD AND THAT I HAD NO A DESIRE TO EFFECT A SETTLEMENT OF IT ON ANY INFERIOR ISSUE
+ NEVERTHELESS IN GENERAL APPEARANCE THE HARRIER AND THE FOXHOUND ARE VERY MUCH ALIKE THE ONE OBVIOUS DISTINCTION BEING THAT OF SIZE
+ IF YOU WANT TO HUNT YOUR HARRIERS ON FOOT SIXTEEN INCHES IS QUITE BIG ENOUGH ALMOST TOO BIG TO RUN WITH BUT IF YOU ARE RIDING TO THEM TWENTY INCHES IS A USEFUL HEIGHT OR EVEN NINETEEN INCHES
+ IT IS USELESS TO LAY DOWN ANY HARD AND FAST RULE AS TO COLOR IT IS SO MUCH A MATTER OF INDIVIDUAL TASTE
+ BUT PUPPIES ARE USUALLY SENT OUT TO WALK AND MAY EASILY BE PROCURED TO BE CAPTAIN REARED UNTIL THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH TO BE ENTERED TO THEIR WORK
+ HE IS OF COURSE FINER BUT WITH THE LENGTH OF NECK SO PERFECT IN THE BIGGER HOUND THE LITTLE SHOULDERS OF THE SAME PATTERN AND THE TYPICAL QUARTERS AND SECOND FLIES
+ AND WHEN HE IS FAIRLY ON A LINE OF COURSE HE STICKS TO IT AS THE SAYING HE IS LIKE A BEAGLE
+ IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THEREFORE THAT THE BEAGLE WAS CROSSED WITH THE WELSH SOUTHERN OR OTTER HOUND TO GET MORE SIZE AND POWER AS THERE CERTAINLY WAS A WELSH ROUGH COATED BEAGLE OF GOOD EIGHTEEN INCHES AND AN ALMOST IDENTICAL CONTEMPORARY THAT WAS CALLED THE ESSEX BEAGLE
+ THAT A GREAT MANY OF THE TRUE ORDER WERE BRED BECAME VERY MANIFEST AS SOON AS THE HARRIER AMBIGAL ASSOCIATION WAS FORMED AND MORE PARTICULARLY WHEN A SECTION OF THE PETERBOROUGH HOUND SHOW WAS RESERVED FOR THEM
+ THEN THEY SEEMED TO SPRING FROM EVERY PART OF THE COUNTRY
+ ONE HEARS NOW OF THE CHALTON THE HOUSETED PLACE VERY NOTED INDEED THE HALTIN THE LEE PARK THE STOKE PLACE THE EDINBURGH THE SURBITON THE TRINITY FOOT THE WOODDALE MISSUS U WILLIARDS MISSUS PRICES AND MISSUS TURNER'S
+ EYES BROWN DARK HAZEL OR HAZEL NOT DEEP SET NOR BULGY AND WITH A MILD EXPRESSION
+ EARS LONG SET ON LOW FINE IN TEXTURE AND HANGING IN A GRACEFUL FOLD CLOSE TO THE CHEEK
+ NECK MODERATELY LONG SLIGHTLY ARCHED THE THROAT SHOWING SOME DULAP
+ SHOULDERS CLEAN AND SLIGHTLY SLOPING
+ FORELEGS QUITE STRAIGHT WELL UNDER THE DOG OF GOOD SUBSTANCE AND ROUND IN THE BONE
+ FEET ROUND WELL KNUCKLED UP AND STRONGLY PADDED
+ COAT SMOOTH VARIETY SMOOTH VERY DENSE AND NOT TOO FINE OR SHORT
+ HEIGHT NOT EXCEEDING SIXTEEN INCHES
+ ALL THINGS WHICH FOLLOW FROM THE ABSOLUTE NATURE OF ANY ATTRIBUTE OF GOD MUST ALWAYS EXIST AND BE INFINITE OR IN OTHER WORDS ARE ETERNAL AND INFINITE THROUGH THE SAID ATTRIBUTE
+ PROOF CONCEIVE IF IT BE POSSIBLE SUPPOSING THE PROPOSITION TO BE DENIED THAT SOMETHING IN SOME ATTRIBUTE OF GOD CAN FOLLOW FROM THE ABSOLUTE NATURE OF THE SAID ATTRIBUTE AND THAT AT THE SAME TIME IT IS FINITE AND HAS A CONDITIONED EXISTENCE OR DURATION FOR INSTANCE THE IDEA OF GOD EXPRESSED IN THE ATTRIBUTE THOUGHT
+ IN ITS NATURE INFINITE
+ MUST NECESSARILY EXIST
+ WE HAVE NOW GRANTED THEREFORE THOUGHT NOT CONSTITUTING THE IDEA OF GOD AND ACCORDINGLY THE IDEA OF GOD DOES NOT NATURALLY FOLLOW FROM ITS NATURE IN SO FAR AS IT IS ABSOLUTE THOUGHT FOR IT IS CONCEIVED AS CONSTITUTING AND ALSO AS NOT CONSTITUTING THE IDEA OF GOD WHICH IS AGAINST OUR HYPOTHESIS
+ AND BEYOND THE LIMITS OF THE DURATION OF THE IDEA OF GOD SUPPOSING THE LATTER AT SOME TIME NOT TO HAVE EXISTED FOR NOT TO BE GOING TO EXIST THOUGHT WOULD PERFORCE HAVE EXISTED WITHOUT THE IDEA OF GOD WHICH IS CONTRARY TO OUR HYPOTHESIS FOR WE SUPPOSE THAT THOUGHT BEING GIVEN THE IDEA OF GOD NECESSARILY FLOWED THEREFROM
+ BEAR IN MIND THAT THE SAME PROPOSITION MAY BE AFFIRMED OF ANYTHING WHICH IN ANY ATTRIBUTE NECESSARILY FOLLOWS FROM GOD'S ABSOLUTE NATURE
+ COROLLARY HENCE IT FOLLOWS THAT GOD IS NOT ONLY THE CAUSE OF THINGS COMING INTO EXISTENCE BUT ALSO OF THEIR CONTINUING IN EXISTENCE THAT IS IN SCHOLASTIC PHRASEOLOGY GOD IS CAUSE OF THE BEING OF THINGS AS SYNDY REIM
+ COROLLARY INDIVIDUAL THINGS ARE NOTHING BUT MODIFICATIONS OF THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD OR MODES BY WHICH THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD ARE EXPRESSED IN A FIXED AND DEFINITE MANNER
+ SUCH A CORPS SUCH A TIME YOU NEVER DID SEE
+ I WAS WISHING SOMEBODY WOULD GIVE THE CONVERSATION A START WHEN INDIAN MADE A BREAK
+ THIS AIN'T NO GREAT STOCK COUNTRY SAYS HE TO THE OLD GENTLEMAN WITH THE CANE
+ NO SIR SAYS THE OLD GENTLEMAN
+ THERE'S VERY LITTLE GRAZING HERE AND THE RANGE IS PRETTY MUCH WORE OUT
+ THE YOUNG LADY SMILED THROUGH HER VEIL AND THE OLD LADY SNAPPED HER EYES AND LOOKED SIDEWAYS AT THE SPEAKER
+ I'M ONE DOWN TO ORLEANS TO SEE IF I CAN'T GET A CONTRACT OUT OF UNCLE SAM TO FEED THE BOYS ONCE BEEN LICKING THEM INFERNAL MEXICANS SO BAD
+ I'VE READ SOME ACCOUNTS OF THE BATTLE SAYS THE OLD GENTLEMAN THAT DIDN'T GIVE A VERY FLATTERING ACCOUNT OF THE CONDUCT OF SOME OF OUR TROOPS
+ THE OLD PREACHER LISTENED TO HIM WITH EVIDENT SIGNS OF DISPLEASURE TWISTING AND GROANING TILL HE COULDN'T STAND IT NO LONGER
+ HE SHUT HIS MOUTH RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT HE WAS SAYING AND LOOKED AT THE PREACHER WHILE HIS FACE GOT IS RED AS FIRE
+ SWEARING SAYS THE OLD PREACHER IS A TERRIBLE BAD PRACTICE AND THERE AIN'T NO USE IN IT NOHOW
+ HOOPS BUT IN THE ANNIE KEPT SHADY HE APPEARED TO BE COWED DOWN
+ THE OLD GENTLEMAN WITH THE CANE TOOK A PART IN THE CONVERSATION AND THE HOO'SER LISTENED WITHOUT EVER OPEN HIS HEAD
+ HE WAS AT SODOM ANGAMOR AND SEEN THE PLACE WAR LOTS WAIF FELL AH
+ YES SAYS THE PREACHER HE WENT TO THE VERY SPOT AND WAS THE REMARKABLEST THING OF ALL HE'S SEEN THE PILLAR OF SALT WHAT SHE WAS TURNED INTO

+ AND HIS LONG ARM WENT OUT AND PICKED A JACK AN END OF AN URCHIN WHO INCAUTIOUSLY REGARDING SUCH QUIET TRAVELLERS AS NOT WORTH MINDING HAD HOVERED TOO NEAR WHILE TRYING TO TEASE THE GIRLS
+ AND PRESENTLY A WOMAN CAME AND TOOK A LITTLE BLUE PINAFORE OFF AND THEN THE REST OF THE GIRLS UNCLASPED THEIR HANDS AND THE RING MELTED AWAY AND THE GAME WAS OVER
+ I'M GLAD THE GIRLS OVER HERE HALF FUN SAID POLLY AS GRANDPAPA AND HIS PARTY MOVED OFF ISN'T IT NICE TO THINK THEY DO
+ TWO OR THREE DAYS OF REST AT MARTINEE PUT EVERYONE IN GOOD SHAPE AND GAVE THEM ALL A BIT OF TIME TO PICK UP ON MANY LITTLE THINGS THAT WERE BEHIND HAND

+ BUT SEE THAT IT IS COLD IN THE STREETS THE WIND BITES AND THE SNOW FREEZES ONE'S FINGERS
+ SHE THANKED TOMMO AND RAN AWAY TO GET READY FOR SHE FELT SURE HER FATHER WOULD NOT REFUSE HER ANYTHING

+ SHE LONGED TO MAKE THE BEDS AND DRESSED THE CHILDREN OVER NIGHT SHE WAS IN SUCH A HURRY TO HAVE ALL IN ORDER BUT AS THAT COULD NOT BE SHE SAT DOWN AGAIN AND TRIED OVER ALL THE SONGS SHE KNEW
+ WHEN SHE HAD TOLD HER PLAN PETER BENARE SHOOK HIS HEAD AND THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER DO BUT TESSA BEGGED SO HARD HE CONSENTED AT LAST THAT SHE SHOULD TRY IT FOR ONE A WEEK AND SENT HER TO BED THE HAPPIEST LITTLE GIRL IN NEW YORK
+ AS SOON AS HER FATHER WAS GONE TESSAF FLEW ABOUT AND PUT EVERYTHING IN NICE ORDER TELLING THE CHILDREN SHE WAS GOING OUT FOR THE DAY AND THEY WERE TO MIND TUMU'S MOTHER WHO WOULD SEE ABOUT THE FIRE AND THE DINNER FOR THE GOOD WOMAN LEFT TESSA AND ENTERED INTO HER LITTLE PLANS WITH ALL HER HEART
+ POOR TESS'S HEART BEAT FAST AS SHE TRUDGED AWAY WITH TABO WHO SLUNG HIS HARP OVER HIS SHOULDER AND GAVE HER HIS HAND
+ IT WAS RATHER A DIRTY HAND BUT SO KIND THAT TESSA CLUNG TO IT AND KEPT LOOKING UP AT THE FRIENDLY BROWN FACE FOR ENCOURAGEMENT
+ SEE NOW HAVE NO FEAR GIVE THEM BELLA MONICA THAT IS MARIAN WILL MAKE THE LAUGH WHISPERED TOM O TUNING HIS HARP
+ ONE FAT OLD FRENCHMAN NODDED TO HER AND IT SEEMED TO HELP HER VERY MUCH FOR SHE BEGAN TO SING BEFORE SHE THOUGHT AND THAT WAS THE HARDEST PART OF IT
+ BUT TOMBOW SHOOK HIS CURLY HAD AND ANSWERED SOBERLY YES I TOOK YOU THERE FIRST FOR THEY LOVE MUSIC AND ARE OF OUR COUNTRY BUT UP AMONG THE GREAT HOUSES WE SHALL NOT ALWAYS DO WELL
+ BUT SHE HAD MADE HALF A DOLLAR FOR TOMAH DIVIDED THE MONEY FAIRLY AND SHE FELT RICH WITH HER SHARE
+ HER HANDS WERE COVERED WITH CHILBLAINS FOR SHE HAD NO MITTENS BUT SHE HAD PUT THEM UNDER HER SHAWL AND SHUFFLED MERRILY AWAY IN HER BIG BOOTS FEELING SO GLAD THAT THE WEEK WAS OVER AND NEARLY THREE DOLLARS SAFE IN HER POCKET
+ HOW GAY THE STREETS WERE THAT DAY
+ HOW BRISK EVERY ONE WAS AND HOW BRIGHT THE FACES LOOKED AS PEOPLE TROTTED ABOUT WITH BIG BASKETS HOLLY WREATHS AND YOUNG EVERGREENS GOING TO BLOSSOM INTO SPLENDID CHRISTMAS TREES
+ BUT I CAN'T SO I'LL FILL THE SOCKS ALL FULL AND BE HAPPY SAID TESSA AS SHE LOOKED WISTFULLY INTO THE GAY STORES AND SAW THE HEAVY BASKETS GO BY
+ WHO KNOWS WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF WOULD YOU DO WELL RETURNED TOM NODDING WISELY FOR HE HAD PLANNED AS WELL AS TESSA AND KEPT CHUCKLING OVER IT AS HE TRUDGED THROUGH THE MUD
+ WE'LL TRY ONE MORE STREET AND THEN GO HOME THOU ART SO TIRED LITTLE ONE
+ AT THE FOURTH SOME PEOPLE AT THEM SING ALL THEIR SONGS AND GAVE NOTHING
+ TESSTA FELT SO GRATEFUL THAT WITHOUT WAITING FOR TOMO SHE SANG HER SWEETEST LITTLE SONG ALL ALONE
+ I LAST MAMMA SAID ROSE AND AWAY SHE WENT INTO THE DINING ROOM CLOSE BY
+ AS THE DOOR OPENED TESSA SAW WHAT LOOKED TO HER LIKE A FAIRY FEAST ALL SILVER MUGS AND FLOURY PLATES AND ORANGES AND NUTS AND ROSY WINE AND TALL GLASS PITCHERS AND SMOKING DISHES THAT SMELT SO DELICIOUSLY SHE COULD NOT RESTRAIN A LITTLE SNIFF OF SATISFACTION
+ AH YES I SHALL COME WITH MUCH GLADNESS AND PLAY AS NEVER IN MY LIFE BEFORE CRIED TOM WITH A FLOURISH OF THE OLD CAP THAT MADE THE CHILDREN LAUGH
+ GIVE THESE TO YOUR BROTHER SAID THE FAIRY PRINCE STUFFING NUTS AND ORANGES AND TO TESSA'S HANDS
+ AH SO KIND SO VERY KIND I HAVE NO WAY TO SAY THANK YOU BUT RUNS AS SHALL BE FOR YOU A HEAVENLY ANGEL AND I WILL SING MY HEART OUT FOR YOUR TREE CRIED TESSA FOLDING THE MITTENS AS IF SHE WOULD SAY A PRAYER OF THANKFULNESS IF SHE KNEW HOW
+ SHE GOT UP EARLY TO SEE IF THE SOCKS WERE ALL RIGHT AND THERE SHE FOUND THE MOST ASTONISHING SIGHT
+ FOUR SOCKS INSTEAD OF THREE AND BY THE FOURTH PINNED OUT QUITE ELEGANTLY WAS A LITTLE DRESS EVIDENTLY MEANT FOR HER O WARM WOOLEN DRESS ALL MADE AND ACTUALLY WITH BRIGHT BUTTONS ON IT
+ TESSA SCREAMED AND DANCED IN HER DELIGHT AND UGHT TUMBLED ALL THE CHILDREN TO SCREAM AND DANCE WITH HER MAKING A REGULAR CARNIVAL ON A SMALL SCALE
+ IN HER LONG STOCKING SHE FOUND ALL SORTS OF TREASURES FOR TOMMY STUFFED IT FULL OF QUEER THINGS AND HIS MOTHER HAD MADE GINGERBREAD INTO EVERY IMAGINABLE SHAPE FROM FAT PIGS TO FULL OMNIBUSES
+ LITTLE ROMO WAS ACCEPTED WITH DELIGHT BY THE KIND LADY AND HER CHILDREN AND TESSA LEARN THE SONG QUITE EASILY
+ AROSE FROM THE CROWD OF CHILDREN GATHERED TO THE FESTIVAL
+ BEFORE THEY WENT HOME THE KIND MAMMA TOLD TESSA SHE SHOULD BE HER FRIEND AND GAVE HER MOTHERLY KISS WHICH WARMED THE CHILD'S HEART AND SEEMED TO SET A PIAL UPON THAT PROMISE
+ THE SENATOR TOOK HIS SEAT IN THE PULPIT WITH THE MINISTER ON ONE SIDE OF HIM AND THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOL ON THE OTHER
+ SO ODD WERE THEY BY THE PRESENCE OF A LIVING UNITED STATES SENATOR THAT DURING THREE MINUTES NOT A SPIT BALL WAS THROWN
+ AFTER THAT THEY BEGAN TO COME TO THEMSELVES BY DEGREES AND PRESENTLY THE SPELL WAS WHOLLY GONE AND THEY WERE RECITING VERSES IN PULLING HAIR
+ THE USUAL SUNDAY SCHOOL EXERCISES WERE HURRIED THROUGH AND THEN THE MINISTER GOT UP AND BOARD THE HOUSE WITH A SPEECH BUILT ON THE CUSTOMARY SUNDAY SCHOOL PLAN THEN THE SUPERINTENDENT PUT IN HIS OAR THEN THE TOWN DIGNITARIES HAD THERE SAY
+ AM I IN SOME POPULOUS CENTRE OF MY OWN COUNTRY WHERE THE CHOICEST CHILDREN OF THE LAND HAVE BEEN SELECTED AND BROUGHT TOGETHER AS AT A FAIR FOR A PRIZE NO
+ THEN WHERE AM I YES WHERE AM I
+ MY SOUL IS LOST IN WONDER AT THE THOUGHT
+ EARTH HAS NO HIGHER NO GRANDER POSITION FOR ME
+ THEN WHAT IS IT WHAT DID MY CONSCIOUSNESS REPLY
+ AH THINK OF THAT NOW I COULD HARDLY KEEP THE TEARS BACK I WAS SO GRATEFUL
+ THEY COULD NOT GIVE HIM A COSTLY EDUCATION BUT THEY WERE GOOD AND WISE AND THEY SENT HIM TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL HE LOVED THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
+ I HOPE YOU LOVE YOUR SUNDAY SCHOOL I SEE BY YOUR FACES THAT YOU DO THAT IS RIGHT
+ ALWAYS LOVE YOUR TEACHERS MY CHILDREN FOR THEY LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN KNOW NOW
+ AND BY AND BY THE PEOPLE MADE HIM GOVERNOR AND HE SAID IT WAS ALL OWING TO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
+ WHY THE PEOPLE GAVE HIM A TOWERING ILLUSTRIOUS POSITION A GRAND IMPOSING PHYSICIAN
+ IT WAS SENATOR OF THE UNITED STATES
+ THAT POOR LITTLE BOY THAT LOVED HIS SUNDAY SCHOOL BECAME THAT MAN THAT MAN STANDS BEFORE YOU
+ ABOVE ALL THINGS MY CHILDREN BE HONEST
+ WHEN SENATOR DILWORTHY DEPARTED FROM KETTLEVILLE HE LEFT THREE DOZEN BOYS BEHIND HIM ARRANGING A CAMPAIGN OF LIFE WHOSE OBJECTIVE POINT WAS THE UNITED STATES SENATE
+ LULLCHKA WAS A DELIGHTFUL CHILD
+ THERE WAS NO OTHER SUCH CHILD THERE NEVER HAD BEEN AND THERE NEVER WOULD BE
+ LATCHKEY'S MOTHER SERAPHYMA ALEXANDROVNA WAS SURE OF THAT
+ LULLITCH HIS EYES WERE DARK AND LARGE HER CHEEKS WERE ROSY HER LIPS WERE MADE FOR KISSES AND FOR LAUGHTER
+ BUT IT WAS NOT THESE CHARMS IN LOLATCHKA THEY GAVE HER MOTHER THE KEENEST JOY
+ SHE FELT COLD WITH HER HUSBAND
+ HE WAS ALWAYS FRESH AND COOL WITH A FRIGID SMILE AND WHEREVER HE PASSED COLD CURRENTS SEEMED TO MOVE IN THE AIR
+ IT EVEN SEEMED TO ANSWER A FEMALE ALEXANDROVNA THAT SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH HER FUTURE HUSBAND AND THIS MADE HER HAPPY
+ THE BRIDE WAS ALSO GOOD LOOKING SHE WAS A TALL DARK EYED DARK HAIRED GIRL SOMEWHAT TIMID BUT VERY TACTFUL
+ HE HAD CONNEXIONS AND HIS WIFE CAME OF GOOD INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE
+ THIS MIGHT AT THE PROPER OPPORTUNITY PROVE USEFUL
+ AFTER THEIR MARRIAGE THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE MANNER OF SERRIE MOTHER STOVITCH TO SUGGEST ANYTHING WRONG TO HIS WIFE
+ LATER HOWEVER WHEN HIS WIFE WAS ABOUT TO HAVE A CHILD SERRIED MOLOVITCH ESTABLISHED CONNECTIONS ELSEWHERE OF A LIGHT AND TEMPORARY NATURE
+ SERAPHIA ALEXANDROVNA FOUND THE SOUCH AND TO HER OWN ASTONISHMENT WAS NOT PARTICULARLY HURT SHE AWAITED HER INFANT WITH A RESTLESS ANTICIPATION THAT SWALLOWED EVERY OTHER FEELING
+ SERFHEMER ALEXANDROVNA DRIFTED FARTHER AND FARTHER AWAY FROM HIM
+ LUTCHKA THEN RAN AWAY STAMPING WITH HER PLUMP LITTLE LEGS OVER THE CARPETS AND HID HERSELF BEHIND THE CURTAINS NEAR HER BED
+ WHERE IS MY BABY GIRL THE MOTHER ASKED AS SHE LOOKED FOR LOACHKA AND MAY BELIEVE THAT SHE DID NOT SEE HER
+ THEN SHE CAME OUT A LITTLE FARTHER AND HER MOTHER AS THOUGH SHE HAD ONLY JUST CAUGHT SIGHT OF HER SEIZED HER BY HER LITTLE SHOULDERS AND EXCLAIMED JOYOUSLY HERE SHE IS MY LATCHCA
+ HER MOTHER'S EYES GLOWED WITH PASSIONATE EMOTION
+ HER MOTHER WENT TO HIDE
+ LUDGAH TURNED AWAY AS THOUGH NOT TO SEE BUT WATCHED HER MOMMONGIST STEALTHILY ALL THE TIME
+ WHERE IS MAMA MOTSHKA ASKED LUDSHKA
+ A SMILE OF ABSOLUTE BLISS PLAYED ON HER RED LIPS
+ THE LUTCHGO WAS GETTING NEAR HER MOTHER'S CORNER
+ HER MOTHER WAS GROWING MORE ABSORBED EVERY MOMENT BY HER INTEREST IN THE GAME HER HEART BEAT WITH SHORT QUICK STROKES AND SHE PRESSED EVEN CLOSER TO THE WALL DISARRANGING HER HAIR STILL MORE
+ LULLETKA SUDDENLY GLANCED TOWARD HER MOTHER'S CORNER AND SCREAMED WITH JOY
+ THROUGH THE HALF CLOSED DOORS HE HEARD THE LAUGHTER THE JOYOUS OUTCRIES THE SOUND OF ROMPING
+ EVEN FIDOCIA FELT ABASHED NOW FOR HER MISTRESS NOW FOR HERSELF
+ HE LIKED COMING HERE WHERE EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFULLY ARRANGED THIS WAS DONE BY SARAPHEMA ALEXANDROVNA WHO WISHED TO SURROUND HER LITTLE GIRL FROM HER VERY INFANCY ONLY WITH THE LOVELIEST THINGS
+ SERAPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA DRESSED HERSELF TASTEFULLY THIS TOO SHE DID FOR LUTCHKA WITH THE SAME END IN VIEW
+ ONE THING SERGEY MOSTROVICH HAD NOT BECOME RECONCILED TO AND THIS WAS HIS WIFE'S ALMOST CONTINUOUS PRESENCE IN THE NURSERY
+ IT'S JUST AS I THOUGHT I KNEW THAT I'D FIND YOU HERE HE SAID WITH A DERISIVE IN CONDESCENDING SMILE
+ NEARLY YOU SEE THAT THE CHILD SHOULD FEEL ITS OWN INDIVIDUALITY HE EXPLAINED IN ANSWER TO SERAPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA'S PUZZLED GLANCE
+ SHE'S STILL SO LITTLE SAID SERPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA
+ I DON'T INSIST IT'S YOUR KINGDOM HERE
+ I'LL THINK IT OVER HIS WIFE ANSWERED SMILING AS HE DID COLDLY BUT GENIALLY
+ THEN THEY BEGAN TO TALK WITH SOMETHING ELSE
+ THAT THE MISTRESS DOES IT WELL THAT'S ONE THING BUT THAT THE YOUNG LADY DOES IT THAT'S BAD
+ WHY ASKED FIDOCIO WITH CURIOSITY
+ THIS EXPRESSION OF CURIOSITY GAVE HER FACE THE LOOK OF A WOODEN ROUGHLY PAINTED DOLL
+ YES THAT'S BAD REPEATED AGATIO WITH CONVICTION TERRIBLY BAD WELL
+ IT'S THE TRUTH I'M SAYING REMEMBER MY WORDS AGATHYA WENT ON WITH THE SAME ASSURANCE AND SECRECY
+ IT'S THE SHEERST SIGN
+ THE OLD WOMAN HAD INVENTED THIS SIGN QUITE SUDDENLY HERSELF AND SHE WAS EVIDENTLY VERY PROUD OF IT
+ MADAM MADAM SHE SAID QUIETLY IN A TREMBLING VOICE
+ SERAPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA GAVE A START
+ THEOSIA'S FACE MADE HER ANXIOUS
+ WHAT IS IT FERDOSIA SHE ASKED WITH GREAT CONCERN IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH LULOTCHKA
+ NO MADAM SAID FIDOCIA SHE GESTICULATED WITH HER HANDS TO REASSURE HER MISTRESS AND TO MAKE HER SIT DOWN
+ LUTCH IS ASLEEP MAKE I'D BE WITH HER
+ ONLY I'D LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING YOU SEE LULLETCH GIVES ALWAYS HIDING HERSELF THAT IS NOT GOOD
+ I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW BAD IT IS SAID FIDOCIA AND HER FACE EXPRESSED THE MOST DECIDED CONFIDENCE
+ I UNDERSTAND NOTHING OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
+ YOU SEE MADAM IT'S A KIND OF OMEN EXPLAINS FERDOSIA ABRUPTLY IN A SHAMEFACED WAY
+ NONSENSE SAID SERAPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA
+ WHO TOLD YOU ALL THIS ASKED SERAPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA IN AN AUSTERE LOW VOICE
+ NO EXCLAIMED SERAPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA IN IRRITATION AS THOUGH SHE WISHED TO PROTECT HERSELF SOMEHOW FROM THIS SUDDEN ANXIETY
+ WHAT NONSENSE AS THOUGH LA LECH COULD DIE
+ SHE SAW CLEARLY THAT THERE COULD BE NO POSSIBLE CONNECTION BETWEEN A CHILD'S QUITE ORDINARY DIVERSION AND THE CONTINUATION OF THE CHILD'S LIFE
+ SHE MADE A SPECIAL EFFORT THAT EVENING TO OCCUPY HER MIND WITH OTHER MATTERS BUT HER THOUGHTS TURNED INVOLUNTARILY TO THE FACT THAT LULLETKA LOVED TO HIDE HERSELF
+ WHEN LATCHKA WAS STILL QUITE SMALL AND HAD LEARNED TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN HER MOTHER AND HER NURSE SHE SOMETIMES SITTING IN HER NURSE'S ARMS MADE A SUDDEN ROGUISH GRIMACE AND HID HER LAUGHING FACE IN THE NURSE'S SHOULDER
+ THEN SHE WOULD LOOK OUT WITH A SLY GLANCE
+ THOUGH SHE REPROACHED HERSELF AT ONCE FOR THIS UNFOUNDED SUPERSTITIOUS DREAD NEVERTHELESS SHE COULD NOT ENTER WHOLEHEARTEDLY INTO THE SPIRIT OF LULLACHKA'S FAVOURITE GAME AND SHE TRIED TO DIVERT LITTLE'S ATTENTION TO SOMETHING ELSE
+ SHE EAGERLY COMPLIED WITH THEIR MOTHER'S NEW WISHES
+ SERPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA TRIED DESPERATELY TO AMUSE LUDSHKA
+ PERHAPS THOUGHT SERAPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA SHE IS NOT AS STRONGLY DRAWN TO THE WORLD AS OTHER CHILDREN WHO ARE ATTRACTED BY MANY THINGS
+ IF THIS IS SO IS IT NOT A SIGN OF ORGANIC WEAKNESS
+ SERPHI MAX ANDROVNA HERSELF BEGAN THE GAME ONCE OR TWICE THOUGH SHE PLAYED IT WITH A HEAVY HEART
+ SHE SUFFERED AS THOUGH COMMITTING AN EVIL DEED WITH FULL CONSCIOUSNESS
+ IT WAS A SAD DAY FOR SERAPHILEX ANDROVNA
+ HER MOTHER COVERED HER WITH A BLUE BLANKET
+ LUTCH COULD DREW HER SWEET LITTLE HANDS FROM UNDER THE BLANKET AND STRETCHED THEM OUT TO EMBRACE HER MOTHER HER MOTHER BENT DOWN
+ SHE SEEMED SO SMALL AND SO FRAIL UNDER THE BLANKET THAT COVERED HER
+ SERAPHIMO ALEXANDROVNA REMAINED STANDING OVER LULLETKA'S BED A LONG WHILE AND SHE KEPT LOOKING AT LULLETSHKA WITH TENDERNESS AND FEAR
+ I'M A MOTHER IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PROTECT HER SHE THOUGHT AS SHE IMAGINED THE VARIOUS ILLS THAT MIGHT BE FOLLETKA
+ SHE PRAYED LONG THAT NIGHT BUT THE PRAYER DID NOT RELIEVE HER SADNESS
+ SEVERAL DAYS PASSED THE LUTCHGUK CAUGHT COLD
+ THE FEVER CAME UPON HER AT NIGHT
+ WHEN SERAPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA AWAKENED BY PHIDOSIA CAME TO LAVOCHET AND SAW HER LOOKING SO HOT SO RESTLESS AND SO TORMENTED SHE INSTANTLY RECALLED THE EVIL OMEN AND A HOPELESS DESPAIR TOOK POSSESSION OF HER FROM THE FIRST MOMENTS
+ A DOCTOR WAS CALLED AND EVERYTHING WAS DONE THAT IS USUAL ON SUCH OCCASIONS BUT THE INEVITABLE HAPPENED
+ AND LUTCHKA GREW FEEBLER FROM HOUR TO HOUR
+ NOTHING MADE HER SO UNHAPPY AS THE REITERATIONS OF FIDOCIA UTTERED BETWEEN SOBS SHE HID HERSELF AND HID HERSELF AUOLCHKA
+ FEVER WAS CONSUMING LULLETSHKA AND THERE WERE TIMES WHEN SHE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS IN SPOKEN DELIRIUM
+ THREE DAYS PASSED TORTURING LIKE A NIGHTMARE
+ SERPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA HID HER FACE BEHIND THE CURTAINS NEAR LULLETKA'S BED HOW TRAGIC
+ OH WAIT MOTCHKA WHISPERED LUDSHKA
+ WHEN MUCHKA'S WHITE FACE BECAME BLURRED AND EVERYTHING GREW DARK BEFORE LOTCHKA
+ SHE MET HER HUSBAND
+ SERPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA WAS STANDING BY THE COFFIN AND LOOKING DULLY AT HER DEAD CHILD
+ SIMA MY DEAR DON'T AGITATE YOURSELF SAID SERGEY MOLOSOVITCH IN A WHISPER
+ YOU MUST RESIGN YOURSELF TO YOUR FATE
+ SHE'LL BE UP IN A MINUTE PERSISTED SERAPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA HER EYES FIXED ON THE DEAD LITTLE GIRL
+ SERGEY MODE APOSTOLVITCH LOOKED ROUND HIM CAUTIOUSLY HE WAS AFRAID OF THE UNSEEMLY AND OF THE RIDICULOUS
+ SEE MY DON'T AGITATE YOURSELF HE REPEATED
+ HE WAS CONFUSED AND ANNOYED
+ HER FACE SEEMED TRANQUIL AND HER EYES WERE DRY
+ SHE WENT INTO THE NURSERY AND BEGAN TO WALK ROUND THE ROOM LOOKING INTO THOSE PLACES WHERE LOTCHKA USED TO HIDE HERSELF
+ SHE WALKED ALL ABOUT THE ROOM AND BENT NOW AND THEN TO LOOK UNDER THE TABLE OR UNDER THE BED AND KEPT ON REPEATING CHEERFULLY WHERE'S MY LITTLE ONE WHERE IS MY LOACHKA
+ AFTER SHE HAD WALKED ROUND THE ROOM ONCE SHE BEGAN TO MAKE HER QUESTION YOU
+ FIDOCIA MOTIONLESS WITH DEJECTED FACE SAT IN A CORNER AND LOOKED FRIGHTENED AT HER MISTRESS THEN SHE SUDDENLY BURST OUT SOBBING AND SHE WAILED LOUDLY
+ SHE HID HERSELF AND HID HERSELF ARACHGAR ER ANGELIC LITTLE SOUL
+ WHEN SHE ENTERED THE PARLOR THERE WAS SEVERAL PEOPLE BETWEEN HER AND LAVATCHKA
+ THERE WAS AN OPPRESSIVE FEELING OF HEAVINESS AND SERAPHIMA ALEXANDROVNA'S HEAD AS SHE APPROACHED LALOCHKA
+ WILLACHE LAY THERE STILL AND PALE AND SMILED PATHETICALLY
+ THE LITTLE ONE DID NOT REPLY
+ SERAPHIM ALEXANDROVNA STOOD UP ERECT SIDE IN A LOST WAY SMILED AND CALLED LOUDLY LULLETSHKA
+ LULLETTE GOES BEING CARRIED OUT
+ CAPTAIN BULL THE COMMANDER OF A SMALL GARRISON AT SEDUCE PERMITTED HIM TO LAND BUT WHEN THE GOVERNOR BEGAN TO READ HIS COMMISSION BUL ORDERED HIM TO BE SILENT
+ WHAT HAS HAPPENED MISTER PRINCE WASWORTH ASKED FOR HE COULD SEE THAT THE MAN WAS GREATLY EXCITED GOVERNOR ANDROS HAS COME AGAIN GASPED MISTER PRINCE WHY SHOULD THAT ALARM US THE FELLOW THOUGH GIVEN TO BOASTING IS NOT DANGEROUS OR LIABLE TO PUT HIS THREATS INTO EXECUTION BUT HE HAS GROWN DANGEROUS DECLARED MISTER PRINCE THE LIBERTIES OF THE COLONY ARE INVOLVED
+ CAPTAIN WADSWORTH BECAME A LITTLE UNEASY THOUGH HE WAS STILL INCLINED TO TREAT THE MATTER LIGHTLY
+ WE HAVE STUBBORNLY REFUSED TO YIELD OUR CHARTER VOLUNTARILY FOR IT IS THE GUARDIAN OF OUR POLITICAL RIGHTS
+ THAT IS TRUE CAPTAIN WADSWORTH CONTINUED MISTER PRINCE AND TO SUBDUE OUR STUBBORNNESS THIS VISTER HAS COME TO HARTFORD WITH SIXTY ARMED MEN TO DEMAND THE SURRENDER OF THE CHARTER IN PERSON
+ CAPTAIN WASWORTH BOUNDED TO HIS FEET IN A RAGE AND PLACING HIS HAND ON THE HILT OF THE SWORD DECLARED HE SHALL NOT HAVE IT
+ THE DAY WAS WELL NIGH SPENT WHEN HE ARRIVED AND THE MEMBERS WERE ENGAGED IN A HEATED DEBATE ON A SUBJECT OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE
+ HE CONSENTED HOWEVER TO AWAIT THE DISCUSSION BUT AS SOON AS IT WAS ENDED HE DECLARED THAT HE WOULD HAVE THE CHARTER
+ AFTER THAT CAPTAIN HAD TAKEN TWO OR THREE TURNS ACROSS THE ROOM HE PAUSED AND ASKED
+ WHAT IS THE ASSEMBLY DOING ENGAGED IN DEBATE
+ AND WILL HE WAIT UNTIL IT IS ENDED HE HAS PROMISED TO DO SO
+ MISTER PRINCE FIXED HIS AMAZED EYES ON THE CAPTAIN'S FACE AND READ THERE A DESPERATE DETERMINATION CAPTAIN HE BEGAN
+ MISTER PRINCE BOWED AND HASTILY RETURNED TO THE HOUSE WHERE THE ASSEMBLY WAS IN SESSION
+ AS SOON AS HE WAS GONE CHARLES STEVENS SAID
+ YES CHARLES WILL ANSWER WHAT DO YOU MEAN UNCLE
+ NEVER DID THE BAITERS TAKE GREATER INTEREST IN A MINOR SUBJECT
+ WHAT DO YOU INTEND DOING UNCLE WILL YOU FIGHT THEN
+ REMEMBER THE WORK MUST BE DONE RIGHT AT THE TIME NOT TOO SOON NOR TOO LATE
+ THE SUN WAS SETTING AND THE CAPTAIN SAID
+ COME CHARLES LET US HASTEN TO THE ASSEMBLY
+ BY NO MEANS BUT I WANT YOU TO BE FULLY IMPRESSED WITH THE SERIOUSNESS OF YOUR MISSION
+ TAKE YOUR PLEASE CHARLES AND BE PREPARED TO DO YOUR PART WHISPERED CAPTAIN WALESWORTH
+ CHARLES GOD IS CLOSE TO THE LONG TABLE USED BY THE SECRETARYS IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT ATTRACTING SPECIAL ATTENTION
+ THE DISCUSSION WENT ON DARKNESS CAME AND FOUR LIGHTED CANDLES WERE PLACED ON THE TABLE IN TWO SET ON A SHELF ON THE WALL
+ THOSE TWO CANDLES ON THE WALL WERE A GREAT ANNOYANCE TO CHARLES UNTIL HE SAW A MAN STATION NEAR THEM
+ THOUGH THE LIGHTS WERE EXTINGUISHED THROUGH THE WINDOW THE FAINT STARLIT DIMLY ILLUMINATED THE SCENE
+ HE FOLLOWED HIM AS RAPIDLY AS HE COULD
+ THE YOUTH WAS CLOSE BEHIND HIM AND WHEN THEY WERE OUTSIDE SEIZED HIS ARM
+ BOY HAVE A CARE HOW YOU APPROACH ME
+ THE SOLDIERS BEGAN THE CROWD ABOUT THE HOUSE WHEN AT A SIGNAL FROM CAPTAIN WARDSWORTH THE TRAIN VANCE CAME ON THE SCENE AND PREPARED TO GRAPPLE WITH THE SOLDIERS
+ WHERE IS THE CHARTER
+ YOU HAVE YOUR SOLDIERS AT THE DOOR AND WE HAVE THE TRAIN BANDS OF CONNECTICUT READY TO DEFEND US AGAINST VIOLENCE
+ COOL OF YOU HAS THE CHARTER
+ IT WAS THE BOY CRIES IN RANGED GOVERNOR
+ EVERY MEMBER OF THE ASSEMBLY SHOOK THEIR HEADS
+ WE DO NOT KNOW HIM HE DOES NOT LIVE IN CONNECTICUT WHERE DOES HE LIVE
+ LITTLE DID THE CAPTAIN OR HIS YOUTHFUL SYSTEM DREAM THAT THEIR SIMPLE ACT WOULD MAKE THE OL TREE HISTORIC
+ THE TREE IN WHICH THE DOTH MEET WAS HITTING WAS EVER AFTERWARDS KNOWN AS THE CHARTER OAK
+ IT REMAINED THE GRIST BEARING FRUIT EVERY YEAR AND TOTAL A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT AUGUST EIGHTEEN FIFTY SIX WHEN IT WAS PROSTRATED BY A HEAVY STORM OF WIND
+ WHEN THE ORDER FROM THE SEIZURE OF THE CHARTIVES WAS FIRST MADE KNOWN YE SEDLEY ROYLEANS SENT A MOST LOYAL ADJUTANTS TO THE KING SAYING
+ HE FORMERLY DISSOLVED THE ASSEMBLY BROKE THE SEAL OF THE COLONY WHICH BORE THE FIGURE OF AN ANCHOR AND THE WORD HOPE ADMITTED FIVE IN THE INHABITANTS INTO HIS LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL AND ASSUMED THE FUNCTION OF GOVERNOR BUT HE DID NOT TAKE AWAY THE PARCHMENT ON WHICH THE CHARTER WAS WRITTEN
+ FROM THAT TIME UNTIL THE FOUR UNION OF THE COLONIES FOR MUTUAL DEFENCE AT THE BIRTHDAY OUT OF THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR THE INHABITANTS OF RHODE ISLAND OR THEIR SHARE IN THE DEFENSIVE EFFORTS ESPECIALLY WHEN THE HOSTILE SAVAGES HUNG ALONG THEIR FRONTIERS IN NEW YORK LIKE AN ILL OMENED CLOUD
+ THE HISTORY OF THAT COMMONWEALTH IS IDENTIFIED WITH THAT OF ALL NEW ENGLAND FROM THE BEGINNING OF KING WILLIAM'S WAR SOON AFTER TO THE EXPULSION OF ANDREWS
+ CALLED BERT WHO HAD HEARD HIS UNCLE GETTING READY TO RUN DOWN TO THE WATER'S EDGE
+ IT'S A SCHOONER SAID MISTER BINGHAM TO MISTER MENTRE AND SHE HAS A VERY HEAVY CARGO
+ TO THIS CORD WAS FASTENED A HEAVY ROPER CABLE
+ WHAT'S THAT BORED FOR ASKED BERT AS HE SAW ABOARD FOLLOWING THE KEYBOARD
+ THAT'S THE DIRECTION SAID HAL
+ THEY ARE PRINTED IN A NUMBER OF LANGUAGES AND THEY TELL THE CREW TO CARRY THE END OF THE CABLE HIGH UP TO THE MAST AND FASTEN IT STRONGLY THERE
+ OH I SEE SAID BERT THE LINE WILL STRETCH THEN AND THE BREECHES BUOY WILL GO OUT ON A POLE
+ IT WAS CLEAR DAY NOW AND MUCH OF THE WICKED STORM HAD PASSED
+ WITH THE DAYLIGHT CAME GIRLS AND WOMEN TO THE BEACH
+ MISSUS BOBBSEY MISSUS MINTERNE NELLIE AND HER MOTHER BESIDES DOROTHY AND NAN WERE ALL THERE FLOSSIE AND FREDDY BEING OBLIGED TO STAY HOME WITH DINAH AND SUSAN
+ OF COURSE THE GIRLS ASKED ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS AND BURTON HOW TRIED TO ANSWER THEM THIS BEST THEY COULD
+ IT SEEMED A LONG TIME BEFORE ANY MOVEMENT OF THE CABLE SHOWED THAT THE BUOY WAS RETURNING
+ NEARER AND NEARER IT CAME UNTIL NOW A MAN'S HEAD COULD BE SEEN
+ THE GIRLS AND WOMEN WERE TOO FRIGHTENED TO TALK AND NELLIE CLUNG CLOSE TO HER MOTHER
+ A BIG ROLLER DASHING IN FINISHED THE WORK FOR THE LIFEGUARDS AND A MAN IN THE COURT BELT BANDED UPON SHORE
+ EVERYBODY GATHERED AROUND AND NELLIE WITH A STRANGE FACE AND A STRANGER HOPE BROKE THROUGH THE CROWD TO SEE THE RESCUED MAN
+ OH IT IS MY FATHER SHE SCREAMED FALLING RIGHT INTO THE ARMS OF THE DRENCHED MAN
+ BUT THE HALF DROWNED MAN RUBBED HIS EYES AS IF HE COULD NOT BELIEVE THEM THEN THE NEXT MINUTE HE PRESSED HIS LITTLE DAUGHTER TO HIS HEART UNABLE TO SPEAK A WORD
+ AND DOES GEORGE BRING HIM OUT THERE ANXIOUSLY ASKED THE BROTHER
+ SAFE AND WELL CAN THE WELCOME ANSWER
+ I GUESS OUR PRAYERS WERE HEARD LAST NIGHT
+ HERE COME ANOTHER MAN EXCLAIMED THE PEOPLE AS THIS TIME A BIG MAN DASHED ON SANDS
+ WHILE I DECLARE WE DID LAND ON A FRIENDLY SHORE
+ JUST AS MISTER BINGHAM SAID THE LIFE SAVING WORK TURNED OUT TO BE A SOCIAL AFFAIR FOR THERE WAS A GREAT TIME GREETING NELLIE'S FATHER AND HAL'S UNCLE
+ AND HALON HIS FATHER TOO PUT IN NAN
+ WHAT A MORNING THAT WAS AT SUNSET BEACH
+ I'M SO GLAD WE PRAYED SAID LITTLE FLOSSIE TO FREDDY WHEN SHE HEARD THE GOOD NEWS
+ A BEAUTIFUL DAY HAD GROWN OUT OF THE DREADFUL STORM
+ AND EVERYBODY WAS SO HAPPY
+ THE NEPTUNE THE VESSEL THAT HAD STRUCK ON THE SAND FAR WAS NOW SAFELY ANCHORED NEAR SHORE AND THE SAILORS CAME IN AND OUT IN ROWBOATS BACK AND FORTH TO LAND JUST AS THEY WISHED
+ THEN WE HAD TO GO BACK TO WORK AT THE LOGS WENT ON THE CAPTAIN AND THEN ONE OF OUR CREW TOOK A FEVER
+ THAT WAS WHAT DELINA SO
+ FINALLY WE HAD EVERY LOG LOWERED ON THE SCHOONER AND WE STARTED OFF
+ WE COUNTED ON GETTING HOME LAST WEEK WHEN THIS LAST STORM STRUCK US AND DROVE US OUT OF OUR COURSE
+ ABOUT THE VALUE ASKED MISTER BOBBSEY WHO WAS DOWN FROM THE CITY
+ THE VALUE REPEATED THE CAPTAIN ASIDE SO THAT THE STRANGERS MIGHT NOT HEAR
+ WHILE I AM A RICH MAN NOW AND SO IS MY MATE M'LOUGHLIN FOR THAT WOOD WAS CONTRACTED FOR BY THE LARGEST AND RICHEST PIANO FIRM IN THIS COUNTRY AND NOW IT IS ALL BUT DELIVERED TO THEM AND THE MONEY IN OUR HANDS
+ YES INDEED IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN US A LIFETIME TO ACCUMULATE AS MUCH MONEY AS WE HAVE EARNED IN THIS YEAR
+ MAYBE AUNT EMILY WILL TAKE YOU DOWN TO THE CITY ON HER SHOPPING TOUR SUGGESTED NAN
+ HE MADE THE CLERKS TO MOVE ALL THE TRUCKS FROM THE AISLES AND I GUESS EVERYBODY WAS GLAD THE ARMY FELL DOWN
+ THE WONDERFUL FRESH AIR THAT THESE MEN LIVED IN NIGHT AND DAY HAD BRIGHTENED THEIR EYES TOO SO THAT EVEN THE PLAINEST FEAST AND THE MOST AWKWARD MAN AMONG THEM WAS AS NIMBLE AS AN ATHLETE FROM HIS PERFECT EXERCISE
+ I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY GOOD BIDE YOU NELLIE TOLD DOROTHY AND IN THE NEXT MORNING
+ OH THAT WILL BE SPLENDID DECLARED NAN
+ YOU ARE QUITE RICH NOW AREN'T YOU REMARKED DOROTHY
+ AND DOROTHY WENT UP AND DOWN THE ROOM LIKE THE PICTURES OF CINDERELLA'S PROUD SISTERS
+ AND WE WILL BE ON HAND THANK YOU REPLIED THE JOKING DOROTHY
+ COME NELLIE CALLED MISSUS MC GLAUCLAN I'M READY WHERE'S YOUR HAT
+ WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO MANAGE THAT TOO NELLIE TOLD HIM
+ MY UNCLE IS A FIREMAN AND HE CAN TAKE US THROUGH HIS ENGINE HOUSE
+ MOST OF THEM I GUESS ANSWERED BERT
+ WELL WE HAVE HAD A GOOD VACATION AND I'M WILLING TO GO TO WORK AGAIN
+ SO AM I DECLARED NAN BIGATION WAS JUST LONG ENOUGH I THINK
+ MISTER BOBBSEY WAS DOWN FROM THE CITY OF COURSE TO TAKE THE FAMILY HOME AND NOW ALL HANDS EVEN FREDDY AND FLOSSY WERE BUSY PACKING UP
+ THERE WERE THE SHELLS TO BE LOOKED AFTER THE FISH NETS BESIDES DOWNY THE DUCK AND SNOKED THE CAT
+ AND SO OUR LITTLE FRIENDS HAD SPENT ALL THEIR VACATION
+ HIS CHARACTERS GET DRUNK OR GO MAD WITH JEALOUSY OR FALL IN EPILEPTIC FITS OR RAVE HYSTERICALLY
+ IF DARSKI HAD HAD LESS VISION HE WOULD HAVE BEEN STRINDBERG
+ LACK THEM HE IS A NOBLEST OF TORTURE
+ CERTAINLY THE LAST OF CRUELTY THE LAST DESTRUCTION FOR DESTRUCTION'S SAKE IS THE MOST CONSPICUOUS OF THE DEADLY SINS IN DOSTOEVSKY'S MEN AND WOMEN
+ HE MAY NOT BE A CRUEL ALSO
+ BUT THEY ARE NEVER IN BALANCE THEY ARE ALWAYS IN DEMONIACAL CONFLICT
+ EVEN THE LAST IS NEVER OH HARDLY EVER THE LUST OF A MORE OR LESS SANE MAN
+ DOSERSKI COULD NOT HAVE DESCRIBED THE SIN OF NEKHLUDOFF IN RESURRECTION
+ THIS IS A MADHOUSE CRIED SOME ONE IN THE IDIOT
+ ONE RESULT OF THIS IS A MULTIPLICITY OF ACTION
+ EVEN THE TALK IS OF ACTIONS MORE THAN OF IDEAS
+ HE SOW HIS VIOLENT DEEDS NOT WITH THE HAND BUT WITH A SUCK
+ BUT ONE HAD NOTICED DURING THOSE LAST TWO DAYS THAT THE OTHER WAS WEARING A SILVER WATCH ON A YELLOW BEAD CHAIN WHICH HE SEEMS NOT TO HAVE SEEN ON HIM BEFORE
+ HE TOOK A KNIFE AND WHEN HIS FRIEND HAD TURNED AWAY HE APPROACHED HIM CAUTIOUSLY FROM BEHIND TOOK AIM TURNED HIS EYES HEAVENWARDS CROSSED HIMSELF AND PRAYING FERVENTLY GOD FORGIVE ME FOR CHRIST'S SAKE
+ HE NEVER PAINTS EVERY MAN HE ALWAYS PROJECTS DOSTOEVSKY OR A NIGHTMARE DOSTOEVSKY
+ THAT IS WHY A CRIME AND PUNISHMENT BELONGS TO A LOWER RANGE OF FICTION THAN ANNA CORONINA OR FATHERS AND SONS
+ WE SYMPATHIZE INDEED WITH THE FEARS THE BRAVADO THE DESPAIR THAT SUCCEED THE CRIME
+ HE IS A GROTESQUE MADE ALIVE BY SHEER IMAGINATIVE INTENSITY AND PASSION
+ ONE DOES NOT GRUDGE AN ARTIST IN ABNORMAL CHARACTER OR TWO
+ HE INVENTED VICIOUS GROTESQUE AS DICKENS ADVANCED COMIC GRATUS
+ WAS VERY FOND OF HANGING CUTS AND BURYING THEM WITH GREAT CEREMONY
+ AS FOR THE KARAMAZOVS THEMSELVES HE BETRAYED THE OLD FATHER AND THE ELDEST OF HIS SONS HATING EACH OTHER AND FIGHTING LIKE BRUTAL MANIACS
+ SERVE HIM RIGHT SHOUTED DMITRI BREATHLESSLY
+ IF I HAVEN'T KILLED HIM I'LL COME AGAIN AND KILL HIM
+ IT IS EASY TO SEE WHY DOSTOEVSKY HAS BECOME A POPULAR AUTHOR
+ NO MELODRAMATIST EVER POURED OUT INCIDENT UPON THE STAGE FROM SUCH A HORN OF PLENTY
+ DOSERSKI IS ALWAYS READY TO SHOW THEM ALL IN AT ONCE
+ ON TWO OPPOSITE PAGES OF THE IDIOT ONE FINDS THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERS BROUGHT IN BY NAME GENERAL ATTENTION PRINCE S ALEIDA IVANOVNA LIZEVETTA PROKO FIDNA IVGANY PAVLOVITCH RADONSKI PRINCESS BEALOKONSKI AGLAYA PRINCE MICHKIN COYA VULGEN IPPOLIT VAYA FEREDESHENCO NASTARSIA PHILIPOVNA NINA ALEXANDROVNA GANYA TITSON AND GENERAL IVORGAN
+ BUT THE SECRET OF DOSTYEVSKY'S APPEAL IS SOMETHING MORE THAN THE MULTITUDE AND THRILL OF HIS INCIDENTS AND CHARACTERS
+ MISTER MURRAY BOREDLEY FACES OF DIFFICULTY AND ATTEMPTS TO DEFINITION
+ TO HIM THUS EZEZKI'S WORK IS THE RECORD OF A GREAT MIND SEEKING FOR A WAY OF LIFE IT IS MORE THAN A RECORD OF A STRUGGLE IT IS THE STRUGGLE ITSELF
+ AND THOSE VOICES TAKE SHAPE IN CERTAIN UNFORGETABLE FRAGMENTS OF DIALOGUE THAT HAVE BEEN SPOKEN BY ONE SPIRIT TO ANOTHER IN SOME UGLY MEE IN TAVERN CERTAIN DARKNESS
+ ULTIMATELY THEY ARE THE CREATIONS NOT OF A MAN WHO DESIRED TO BE BUT OF A SPIRIT WHICH SOUGHT TO KNOW
+ BECAUSE THEY ARE POSSESSED THEY ARE NO LONGER MEN AND WOMEN
+ THIS IS ALL IN A MEASURE TRUE
+ TO SAY THIS IS NOT TO DENY THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF DALSTANYSK'S WORK THE ANGUISH OF THE IMPRISONED SOUL AS IT BATTLES WITH DOUBT AND DENIAL AND DESPAIR
+ THERE IS IN DOSTOEVSKY A SUGGESTION OF CALIBAN TRYING TO DISCOVER SOME BETTER GORE THAN SIR TABOS
+ THE ULTIMATE ATTITUDE OF DASTAEVSKY IS AS CHRISTIAN AS THE APOSTLE PETERS LORD I BELIEVE HOPE THOU MIGHT UNBELIEF
+ AND BEYOND THE DARK NIGHT OF SUFFERING AND DISSIPATING THE NIGHT DASZERSKI STILL SEES THE LIGHT OF CHRISTIAN COMPASSION
+ OR EVEN BY THE COMPASSION OF OTHERS LIKE PRINCE MICHKIN IN THE IDIOT
+ HIS WORK LIKE HIS FACE THERE'S THE MARK OF THIS TERRIBLE CONFLICT
+ THE NOVELS OF THE PERFECT IMAGE OF THE MAN
+ AS TO THE MAN HIMSELF THE VICOMTE DE MORGUE DESCRIBED HIM AS HE SAW HIM IN THE LAST YEARS OF HIS LIFE
+ WHEN HE BECAME EXCITED ON A CERTAIN POINT ONE COULD HAVE SWORN THAT ONE HAD SEEN HIM BEFORE SEATED ON A BENCH IN A POLICE COURT A WAITING TRIAL OR AMONG BAGBUNDS HE PASSED THEIR TIME BEGGING BEFORE THE PRISON DOORS
+ AT ALL OTHER TIMES HE CARRIED THAT LOOK OF SAD AND GENTLE MEEKNESS SEEN ON THE IMAGES OF OLDEST OFHANIC SAINTS
+ THAT IS A PORTRAIT OF THE MAN ONE SEES BEHIND OSSEEVSKY'S NOVELS THE PORTRAIT ONE MIGHT ALMOST HAVE INFERRED FROM THE NOVELS
+ IT IS A FIGURE THAT AT ONCE FASCINATES AND REPELS
+ HE IS NOT BY TEMPERAMENT A SINGER
+ HIS MUSIC IS A STILL SMALL VOICE UNEVENLY MATCHED AGAINST HIS CONSCIOUSNESS OF MIDNIGHT AND STALL
+ TRUTH TO TELL MISTER HARDY IS NEITHER SUFFICIENTLY ARTICULATE NOR SUFFICIENTLY FASTIDIOUS TO BE A GREAT POET
+ HE DOES NOT EXPRESS LIFE EASILY IN BEAUTIFUL WORDS ARE IN IMAGES
+ THUS HE WRITES IN I FOUND HER OUT THERE OF ONE WHO
+ THERE COULD NOT BE AN UGLIER AND MORE PROSAIC ITS ADJURATION THAN IS CONTAINED IN THE IMAGE IN THE LAST LINE
+ AND PROS IN TRUTH IN THE CHOICE OF WORDS AS WELL AS IN IMAGES
+ TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE USE OF THE WORD DOMICILED IN THE PASSAGE AND THE SAME POEM ABOUT
+ WHEN WE AS STRANGERS SOUGHT THEIR CATERING CARE VEILED SMILES BESPOKE THEIR THOUGHT OF WHAT WE WERE
+ CATERING CARE IS AN APPALLING PHRASE
+ IS A LINE OF GOOD POULTRY
+ YOU DID NOT COME AND MARCHING TIME DREW ON AND WORE ME NUMB YET LOST FOR LOSS OF YOUR DEAR PRESENCE THERE THAN THAT I THUS FOUND LACKING IN YOUR MAKE THAT HIGHER COMPASSION WHICH CAN OVERBEAR RELUCTANCE FOR PURE LOVING KINDNESS SAKE GRIEVED I WHEN AS THE HOPE HOUR STROKED ITS SONG YOU DID NOT COME
+ THERE ARE HINTS OF THE GRAND STYLE OF LYRIC POULTRY IN THESE LINES BUT PHRASES LIKE IN YOUR MAKE AND AS THE HOPE HOUR STROKED ITS SONG A DISCORDS THAT BRING IT TUMBLING TO THE LEVELS OF VICTORIAN COMMONPLACE
+ HE HAS A TEMPERAMENT SENSITIVE BEYOND THAT OF ALL BUT A FEW RECENT WRITERS TO THE PAIN AND PASSION OF HUMAN BEINGS
+ ONE CAN REMEMBER PAUL AFTER POEM OF HIS WITH A THEME THAT MIGHT EASILY HAVE SERVED FOR MISTER HARDY TOO LATE CHRISTINA THE LOST MISTRESS THE LAST RIDE TOGETHER THE STATUE IN THE BUST TO NAME A FEW
+ BUT WHAT A SENSE OF TRIUMPH THERE IS IN BROWNING'S TRAGED IS
+ HIS WILL DOES A PLACE OF OPULENCE NOT OF POVERTY
+ TO HAVE LOVED EVEN FOR AN HOUR IS WITHDRAWNING TO LIVE FOR EVER AFTER IN THE INHERITANCE OF A MIGHTY ACHIEVEMENT
+ TO HAVE LOVED FOR AN HOUR IS IN MISTER HARDY'S IMAGINATION TO HAVE DEEPENED THE SADNESS EVEN MORE THAN THE BEAUTY OF ONE'S MEMORIES
+ FOR THEN I UNDISTRESSED BY HEARTS GROWING COLD TO ME COULD LONELY WAIT MY ENDLESS REST WITH EQUANIMITY
+ BUT TIME TO MAKE ME GRIEVE PART STEALS LETS PART ABIDE AND SHAKES THIS FRAGILE FRAME AT EVE WITH THROBBINGS OF NOONTIDE
+ AND DESPAIR IS BY NO MEANS TRIUMPHANT IN WHAT IS PERHAPS THE MOST ATTRACTIVE OF ALL MISTER HARDY'S POEMS THE OXEN
+ WE PICTURED THE MEEK MILD CREATURES WHERE THEY DWELT IN THEIR STORY PEN NOR DID IT OCCUR TO ONE OF US THERE TO DOUBT THEY WERE KNEELING THEN
+ THE MOOD OF FAITH HOWEVER OR RATHER OF DELIGHT IN THE MEMORY OF FAITH IS NOT MISTER HARDY'S PREVAILING MOOD
+ HE CAN ENTER UPON A WALL WITHOUT IRONICAL DOUBTS AS WE SEE IN THE SONG MEN WHO MARCH AWAY
+ HOW LONG HE CRIES IN A POEM WRITTEN SOME YEARS AGO
+ WHEN SHALL THE SANER SOFTER POLITIES WHEREOF WE DREAM HAVE SWAY IN EACH PROUD LAND AND PATRIOTISM GROWN GOD LIKE SCORN TO STAND BONDSLAVE TO REALMS BUT CIRCLE EARTH AND SEAS
+ BUT PERHAPS HIS CHARACTERISTIC ATTITUDE TO WAR IS TO BE FOUND NOT IN LINES LIKE THESE BUT IN THAT MELANCHOLY POEM THE SOULS OF THE SLAIN IN WHICH THE SOULS OF THE DEAD SOLDIERS RETURN TO THEIR COUNTRY IN QUESTION A SENIOR SOUL FLAME AS TO HOW THEIR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES HAVE KEPT THEIR DOUGHTY DEEDS IN REMEMBRANCE
+ AND GENERAL HELL HOLD OUT OUR SWEETHEARTS SWORN LOYAL AS DOVES
+ SOME FICKLE AND FLEETHEARTS HAVE FOUND THE NEW LOVES
+ AND OUR WIVES QUOTH ANOTHER RESIGNEDLY DO THEY ON OUR DEEDS
+ MISTER HARDY HAS TOO BITTER A SENSE OF REALITY TO BELIEVE MUCH IN THE GLORY OF WAR
+ THE REAL WILL TO MISTER HARDY IS THE WORLD OF ANCIENT HUMAN THINGS IN WHICH WAR HAS COME TO BE A HIDEOUS IRRELEVANCE
+ IT MAY BE THOUGHT ON THE OTHER HAND THAT MISTER HARDY'S POEMS ABOUT WAR ARE NO MORE EXPRESSIVE OF TRAGIC FUTILITY THAN HIS POEMS ABOUT LOVE
+ FUTILITY AND FRUSTRATION ARE EVER RECURRING THEMES IN BOTH
+ HIS LOVERS LIKE HIS SOLDIERS WROUGHT IN THE GRAVE DEFEATED OF THEIR GLORY
+ LOVERS ARE ALWAYS SEVERED BOTH IN LIFE AND IN DEATH
+ IN BEYOND THE LAST LAMP WE HAVE THE SAME MOURNFUL CRY OVER SEVERANCE
+ NO SHADE OF PINNACLE OR TREE OR TOWER WHILE EARTH AND JAWS WILL FALL ON MY MOUND AND WITHIN THE HOUR STEAL UNTO YOURS ONE ROBIN NEVER HAUNT OUR TWO GREEN COVERCILLES
+ THEY BRING US FACE TO FACE WITH AN EXPERIENCE INTENSER THAN OUR OWN
+ NOTHING OF TINIEST WORTH HAVE I WROUGHT PONDERED PLANNED NO ONE THING ASKING BLAME OR PRAISE SINCE THE PALE CORPSE LIKE BIRTH OF THIS DIURNAL UNIT BEARING BLANKS IN ALL ITS RAYS DULLEST OF DULL HUED DAYS
+ IT'S A SAD THING FOR A BODY TO LACK BRAINS WHEN SHE WANTS TO BE A TEACHER ISN'T IT
+ WHEN A LOPI HAS STUDIED SO HARD ALL WINTER AND SHE HASN'T GONE ANYWHERE TOLD THE OTHER SISTER WISTFULLY
+ DORIS DREAMED OF PRETTY DRESSES ALL THAT NIGHT AND BOTH ABOUT THEM ALL THE NEXT DAY
+ SO IT MUST BE CONFESSED DID PENALOPE THOUGH SHE WOULD NOT HAVE ADMIRED IT FOR THE WORLD
+ SHE KNEW THAT PENELOPE HAD STARTED OUT TO SAY A NEW DRESS
+ DORRY'S HUNTER I BELIEVE IT'S AN OLD QUILT
+ LISTEN PENALOPE MY DEAR DORIS
+ LOVE TO PENELOPE AND YOURSELF
+ YOUR AFFECTIONATE AUNT ADELA HUNTER
+ I DON'T SEE IT'S BEAUTY SAID PENALOPE WITH A GREAT
+ IT MAY HAVE BEEN PRETTY ONCE BUT IT IS ALL SIDED NOW
+ TELL ME DORRY DOES IT ARGUE A LACK OF PROPER RESPECT FOR MY ANCESTORS THAT I CAN'T FEEL VERY ENTHUSIASTIC OVER THIS HER LOOM ESPECIALLY WHEN GRANDMOTHER HUNTER DIED YEARS BEFORE I WAS BORN
+ IT WAS VERY KIND OF AUNT ADELAIDE TO SEND IT SAID DORRICE DUTIFULLY
+ WHY THE WRONG SIDE IS EVER SO MUCH PRETTIER THAN THE RIGHT EXCLAIMED PENELOPE
+ WHAT LOVELY OLD TIMEY STUFF HAD NOT A BEAT FATTED
+ I DECLARE IT IS AS GOOD AS NEW
+ WELL LET US GO AND HAVE CHEAP SAID PENELOPE I DECIDEDLY HUNGRY
+ BESIDES I SEE THE POVERTY PUCKER COMING
+ IT IS SOMETHING TO PAUSE AND HER LOOM AFTER ALL
+ WHEN LOPPY WAS SURPRISED AS MUCH AS THE TENDER SISTERLY HURT COULD WISH WHEN DORIS FLASHED OUT UPON HER TOO FAINTLY AND THE EVENING ON THE PARTY WITH THE BLACK SKIRT NICELY PRESSED AND RE HUNG AND THE PRETTIEST WASTE IMAGINABLE A WAIST THAT WAS A POSITIVE CREATION OF DAINTY ROSEM BEST SPRINKLED SILK WITH A GIRDLE AND NOTES OF BLACK VELVET
+ SO WHEN A LOPPY WENT TO BLANK PARTY AND HER DRESS WAS THE ADMIRATION OF EVERY GIRL THERE
+ WHEN A LO BESOUGHT HER ALTOGETHER CHARMING
+ SHE LOOKS AS IF SHE HAD JUST STEPPED OUT OF THE FRAME OF SOME LOVELY OLD PICTURE SHE SAID TO HERSELF
+ MY AUNT ADELA GAVE ME GIVE US THEIR MATERIAL SHE STAMMERED
+ I AM NAMED AFTER HER MISSUS FAIR WEATHER SUDDENLY PUT HER ARM ABOUT PENELOPE AND RUTHED THE YOUNG GIRL TO HER HER LOVELY OLD FACE AGLOW WITH DELIGHT AND TENDERNESS
+ THEN YOU ARE MY GRAND NIECE SHE SAID
+ WHEN I SAW YOUR DRESS I FELT SURE YOU WERE RELATED TO HER I SHOULD RECOGNISE THAT ROSE BUT SEAL IF I CAME ACROSS IT IN TIBEBAT
+ PENELOPE WAS FOUR YEARS OLDER THAN I WAS BUT WE WERE DEVOTED TO EACH OTHER
+ SOON AFTER THESE OUR MOTHER DIED AND OUR HOUSE HALT WAS BROKEN UP
+ MY DEAR I AM A VERY LONELY OLD WOMAN WHICH NOBODY BELONGING TO ME
+ NOW SHE PATTED MISSUS FAIR WEATHER'S SOFT OLD HAND AFFECTIONATELY
+ DORIS AND PENALOPE FOUND THEIR LEAVES AND PLANTS CHANGED IN THE TWINKLING CLING OF AN EYE
+ WHEN MISSUS FAIRWATER HAD GONE DORIS AND PENELOPE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER
+ AS SHE SLIPPED INTO HER BLUE PRINT AFTERNOON DRESS HER AUNT CALLED TO HER FROM BELOW
+ AUNT JANE WAS STANDING AT THE FOLD OF THE STAIRS WITH A LAMP IN ONE HAND AND THE YEAR OLD BABY CLANGING TO THE OTHER
+ SHE WAS A BIG SHAPE PLACE WOMAN WITH A ROUND GOOD NATURED FACE CHEERFUL AND VULGAR AS A SUNFLOWER WAS AUNT JANE AT ALL TIMES AND OCCASIONS
+ I WANT TO RUN OVER AND SEE HOW MISSUS BIGSBY IS THIS EVENING CITY AND YOU MUST TAKE CARE OF THE BABY TILL I GET BACK
+ SYDNEY SIGHED AND WENT DOWNSTAIRS FOR THE BABY
+ ALL HER DAYS WERE ALIKE AS FAR AS HARD WORK AND DULNESS WENT BUT SHE ACCEPTED THEM CHEERFULLY AND UNCOMPLAININGLY
+ BUT SHE DID RESENT HAVING TO LOOK AFTER THE BABY WHEN SHE WANTED TO WRITE HER LETTER
+ THE ROOM WAS MORE AND HER BOX ABOVE THE KITCHEN WHICH SEEMED A CHARRED WITH TWO SMALL COUSINS
+ HER BED AND THE COUGH WHERE THE LITTLE GIRL SLEPT FILLED UP ALMOST ALL THE AVAILABLE SPACE
+ JUST AT THAT PARTICULAR ANGLE ONE EYE APPEARED TO BE AS LARGE AS AN ORANGE WHILE THE OTHER WAS THE SIZE OF A PEA AND THE MOUTH ZECED FROM EAR TO EAR
+ SIDNEY HATED THAT MIRROR AS VERY LOUDLY AS SHE COULD HATE ANYTHING
+ HER MOTHER HAD DIED TO DAY AFTER AND SYDNEY THERE UP ONE HAD COME INTO THE HANDS OF GOOD AUNT JANE WITH THOSE BOOKS FOR HER DOLLRY SINCE NOTHING ELSE WAS LEFT AFTER THE EXPENSES OF THE DOUBLE FUNERAL HAD BEEN FAITH
+ PRESENTLY SHE BEGAN TO WRITE WITH A FLUSH OF REAL EXCITEMENT ON HER FACE
+ ONLY ONE ANSWER CAME TO ELLEN DOUGLAS AND THAT WAS FORWARDED TO HER BY THE LONG SUFFERING ADITY OFF THE MAPEL LEAF
+ HE WROTE THAT ALTHOUGH HIS AGE THE BIRD HIM FROM MEMBERSHIP IN THE CLUB HE WAS TWENTY AND THE LIMIT WAS EIGHTEEN HE READ THE LETTERS OF THE DEPARTMENT WITH MARCH INTEREST AND OFTEN HAD THOUGHT OF ANSWERING SOME OF THE REQUESTS FOR CORRESPONDENTS
+ HE NEVER HAD DONE SO BUT ELLEN DOUBTLESS LETTER WAS SO INTERESTING THAT HE HAD DECIDED TO WRITE TO HER
+ WOULD SHE BE KING ENOUGH TO CORRESPOND WITH HIM
+ HE WAS TWO YEARS OUT FROM THE EAST AND HAD NOT YET FORGOTTEN TO BE HOMESICK AT TIMES
+ SYDNEY LIKE THE LETTER AND ANSWERED IT
+ SHE NEVER EXPECTED TO MEET JOHN LINCOLN NOR DID SHE WISH TO DO SO
+ IN THE CORRESPONDENCE ITSELF SHE FOUND HER PLEASURE
+ JOHN LINCOLN OF RANGE LIFE AND ADVENTURES ON THE FAR WESTERN PLAINTS SO AIN AND REMOVED FROM SNUG HUMP PLAINFIELD LIFE THAT SINNA ALWAYS HAD THE SENSATION OF CROSSING A GULF WHEREIN SHE OPENED A LETTER FROM THE BAR AND AS FOR SYDNEY'S OWN LETTER THIS IS THE WAY IT READ AS SHE WROTE IT
+ THE EVERGREENS PLAINFIELD DEAR MISTER LINCOLN
+ I LOVE LIFE AND ITS BLOOM AND BRILLIANCY I LOVE MEETING NEW PEOPLE I LOVE THE RIPPLE OF MUSIC THE HUM OF LAUGHTER AND CONVERSATION
+ THE MEN I HAD BEEN TALKING WITH WAS PAUL MORE THE GREAT NOVELIST
+ AS IT WAS I HAD CONTRADICTED HIM TWICE AND HE HAD LAUGHED AND LIKED IT BUT HIS BOOKS WILL ALWAYS HAVE A NEW MEANING TO ME HENCEFORTH THROUGH THE INSIDE HE HIMSELF HAS GIVEN ME
+ IT IS SUCH MEETINGS AT THESE THAT GIVE LIFE ITS SPARKLE FOR ME
+ YOU WILL BE WEARY OF MY RHAPSODIES OVER HER
+ SHE HAS SYMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING FOR MY MOOD
+ YOURS SINCERELY SINE RICHMOND
+ OLD JANE CAME HOME PRESENTLY AND CARRIED AWAY HER SLEEPING BABY SYDNEY SAID HER PRAYERS WENT TO BED AND SLEPT SOUNDLY AND CERENILY SHE MAILED HER LETTER THE NEXT DAY AND THE MONTH LATER AN ANSWER CAME
+ SYDNEY DID NOT SLEEP THAT NIGHT BUT DOSED RESTLESSLY ABOUT OR CRIED IN HER PILLOW
+ THE GOOD WOMAN SHOOK HER HEAD
+ SYDNEY TROD THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR AND FOUND THAT ITS THORNS BURST TO BONN AND MARROW
+ YOU SEE THAT ROAD OUT DARK
+ AND THERE WAS NO HARBOUR OR GLIMPSE OF DISTANT SEA VISIBLE
+ HAD THE HALTER KEEPER MADE A MISTAKE
+ THIS IS HIS PLACE NOBODY COURTS IT THE EVERGREEN BUT MYSELF
+ I DON'T UNDERSTAND HE SAID PER BLACK SEDLEY
+ OH SYDNEY DREW OUT HER HANDS IN A BURST OF PASSIONATE PROTEST
+ NO AND YOU NEVER WILL UNDERSTAND I CAN'T MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND
+ EVERYTHING I TOLD YOU ABOUT IT AND MY LIFE WAS JUST IMAGINATION
+ THEN WHY DID YOU WRITE THEM HE ASKED BLANKLY
+ WHY DID YOU DECEIVE ME
+ OH I DIDN'T MEAN TO DECEIVE YOU I NEVER THOUGHT OF SUCH A THING
+ I JUST COULDN'T WRITE YOU ABOUT MY LIFE HERE NOT BECAUSE IT WAS HARD BUT YOU ARE SO UGLY AND EMPTY
+ AND WHEN ONCE I HAD BEGUN I HAD TO KEEP IT UP

+ THOSE LETTERS MADE THAT OTHER LIFE SEEM REAL TO ME I NEVER EXPECTED TO MEET YOU
+ THIS LAST FOUR DAYS SINCE YOU LATER CAME HAVE BEEN DREADFUL TO ME
+ OH PLEASE GO AWAY AND FORGIVE ME IF YOU CAN
+ IT WAS WORSE THAN SHE HAD EVEN THOUGHT IT WOULD BE

+ JOHN LINCOLN OPENED THE GATE AND WENT UP TO HER
+ PLEASE DON'T DISTRESS YOURSELF SO SYDNEY HE SAID UNCONSCIOUSLY USING HER CHRISTIAN NAME
+ I THINK I DO UNDERSTAND
+ I'M NOT SUCH A DULL FELLOW AS YOU TAKE ME FOR
+ AFTER ALL THOSE LETTERS WERE TRUE OR RATHER THERE WAS TRUTH IN THEM

+ WHAT DID YOU UNDERSTAND

+ OH I ALWAYS DO IT I DIDN'T GUESS
+ IT'S ABOUT EVER SAID FAINTLY
+ THAT LITTLE REASONS WHY SHE LOATHES ME SO SHE ADDED
+ LUCIA THOUGHT DEEPLY FOUR MOMENTS SHE RECOGNIZED ALL AT ONCE SEVERAL THINGS SHE HAD BEEN MYSTIFIED BY BEFORE
+ OCTAVIA SMILED LITTLE AGAIN
+ MUUCHYO SAT THINKING HER HANDS CLASPED TIGHTLY
+ I AM GLAD I CAME HERE SAID AT LENGTH
+ I THINK I SHALL NEVER BE AFRAID OF HER ANY MORE
+ HER DELICATE NOSTRILS WERE DILATED AND SHE HELD HER HEAD UP HER BREATH CAME FAST THERE WAS A HINT OF EGALTATION IN HER TONE
+ SHE WALKED VERY FAST AFTER SHE LEFT THE HOUSE
+ BUT IT WAS NOT AGAINST HIM THAT LUCIA'S INDIGNATION WAS AROUSED
+ SHE WONDERED IF HE HAD HEARD HER LAST WORDS SHE FANCIED HE HAD
+ HE TOOK HOLD OF HER SHAKING LITTLE HAND AND LOOKED DOWN ON HER EXCITED FACE

+ YES HE ANSWERED LET ME GO TO HER
+ IF YOU WILL SAY YES TO THAT I THINK I CAN PROMISE THAT YOU NEED NEVER BE AFRAID OF HER ANY MORE
+ THE FIERCE COLOUR DIED OUT OF HER CHEEKS AND THE TEARS RUSHED TO HER EYES
+ SHE RAISED HER FEET WITH A PATHETIC LOOK
+ I AM DESPERATELY IN LOVE WITH YOU HE ANSWERED IN HIS CHOIR'S WAY
+ I ACCOMPANIED MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO DISINTERMENT HER LADYSHIP PRESPONDED
+ IT IS SCARCELY A JOYOUS OCCASION TO MY MIND

+ THIS ONE LOOK LIKE IT HE SAID GRAVELY
+ NO SHE ANSWERED I AM NOT AFRAID AT ALL
+ I SHALL NOT BE AFRAID AGAIN

+ I BEG YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO ME OF THAT SHE SAID I WILL NOT LISTEN
+ AND TURNING ABOUT SHE WALKED OUT OF THE ROOM
+ AND NOTHING MORE HAVE BEEN SAID ON SUBJECT SINCE
+ BEFORE BREAKFAST MISS BELINDA WAS STARTLED BY THE ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER TELEGRAM WHICH REIGNED AS FOLLOWS
+ ARRIVED TO DAY PER RUSSIA THE OZUDA MILD EVENING

+ OCTAVIA IS MOST HAPPY TO DAY ANSWERED MISSUS BLINDA
+ VERY FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTAND OCTAVIA SAID MISSUS BELINDA I'M NOT SURE THAT I FOLLOW ALL HER MOODS MYSELF
+ SHE IS NOT AS FRIVOLOUS AS SHE APPEARS TO THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HER WELL
+ BERYL SO LONG AS MUSTACHE AND MADE NO REPLY HE WAS NOT VERY COMFORTABLE
+ HE FELT HIMSELF ILL USED BY FATE AND RATHER PUSHED HE HAD RETURNED TO LONDON FROM BIOX INSTEAD OF AVOIDING IN SLOWBRIDGE
+ HE HAD AMUSE HIMSELF AT FIRST BUT IN TIME HE HAD BEEN SURPRISED TO FIND ITS AMUSEMENT LOOSE SOMETHING OF ITS ZEST
+ IT'S DEUCEDLY BAD FORM ON HIS PART HE SAID MENTALLY WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY

+ WHERE HE EJACULATED I SAY WHAT A NAME

+ IN THAT PASHFUL DOWNCAST FACE CROWNED WITH THE BELLING CORONET AND BED ACT WITH SANDAL PASTE HE COULD SCARCELY RECOGNISE THE VILLAGE MAIDEN OF HIS FANCY AN INDEFULNESS OF HIS EMOTION A MIST SEEMED TO BE CLOUDED HIS EYES
+ DELIGHT OFF THE LAMP SEEMED TO GROW DIM AND DARKNESS TO TANNISH THE FACE OF THE PRIDE HERSELF

+ SHE IS A DISGRACE TO HER FAMILY AND SHALL SOON SEE HER HUSBAND IMPELLED ON ESTATE
+ THEN WITH HIS FOREHEAD DISFIGURED BY OUR FEARFUL FROWN HE CONTINUED TO ABUSE THE PRINCE AND HAVING TIED HIS HANDS BEHIND HIM DRAGGED HIM FROM THE ROOM
+ TREATED THUS LIKE SOME WILD BEAST ROUGHLY SHAKEN AND NEGLECTED LEIGH VAHANA WOULD HAVE SUFFERED GREATLY HAD HE NOT BEEN PROTECTED BY THE MAGIC WORLD GIVEN TO HIM IN PARTALA AND WHICH HE HAD CONTRIVED TO CONCEAL IN HIS HAIR
+ ADVANCING THEREFORE WITH A LARGE ARMY HE PREPARED TO BE SIEGED SAMPAH THE CAPITAL CITY
+ A TERRIBLE BATTLE ENSUED IN WHICH BOAT KINGS WERE FORMED PRODIGIES OF VALOR
+ COULD THERE BE ANY PITY FOR THE VIOLATOR OF THE HAREM
+ IF THE OLD KING MY FATHER NOW IN HIS STOUT AGE WAS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO FAVOR THE CRIMINAL FOR THE SAKE OF HIS WORTHLESS DAUGHTER YOU HAD NO NEED OF HIS PERMISSION AND OUGHT NOT TO HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED BY HIM
+ LET THAT VILE SIOUX IT BE IMMEDIATELY PUT TO THAT MY TORTURE AND HIS PARAMOUR BE SHALL UP IN PRISON SHALL I COME
+ HAVE READY ALSO OF FIERCE ELEPHANT SUITABLY EQUIPPED WHICH I SHALL MOUNT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WEARING WHO OVERTAKE MY ARMY IN MARCH AGAINST THE ENEMY AND AS I SET OUT I WILL MAKE THE ELEPHANT TRAMPLED THE LIFE OUT OF THAT CRIMINAL
+ WHILE HE STOOD THERE CALMLY AWAITING DEATH WHICH NOW SEEMED INEVITABLE HE SUDDENLY FELT HIS FEET FREE AND A BEAUTIFUL LADY APPEARED BEFORE HIM

+ WHATEVER HAND IT WAS THE SHOT DOWN BOURBON ROME AFTER HIS DEATH WAS PLUNDERED DEVASTATED AND RAVAGED BY BRUTAL GREEDY LICENTIOUS AND FANATICAL SULTRY
+ WHEREFORE FOR THE FUTURE WRITE US NOTHING AT ALL BUT APPOINT US THE TIME AND PLACE OF MEETING AND WE WILL BRING OUR SWORD FOR YOU TO CROSS PROTESTING THAT THE SHAME OF ANY DELAY IN FIGHTING SHALL BE YOURS SEEING THAT WHEN IT COMES TO AN ENCOUNTER THERE IS AN END OF ALL WRITING
+ SIR ANSWERED THE SPANIARD PERMIT ME TO DO MY OFFICE AND SAY WHAT THE EMPEROR HAS CHARGED ME TO SAY
+ NAY I WILL NOT LISTEN TO THEE SAID FRANCIS IF THOU DO NOT FIRST GIVE ME A PATENT SIGN BY THY MASTER CONTAINING AN APPOINTMENT OF TIME AND PLACE SIR I HAVE ORDERS TO READ YOU THE CARTEL AND GIVE IT YOU AFTERWARDS
+ BURGUNDY WITHOUT BEING PUT OUT BEGAN AGAIN SIR
+ NAY SAID FRANCIS I WILL NOT SUFFER HIM TO SPEAK TO ME BEFORE HE HAS GIVEN ME APPOINTMENT OF TIME AND PLACE
+ GIVE IT ME OR RETURN AS THOU HAST COME
+ I AM QUITE WILLING SAID THE KING LET HIM HAVE IT
+ THE PEACE OF CAMBRAI WAS CALLED THE LADIES PIECE IN HONOR OF THE TWO PRINCESSES WHO HAD NEGOTIATED IT THOUGH MORALLY DIFFERENT AND A VERY UNEQUAL WORTH THEY BOTH HAD MINDS OF A RARE ORDER AND TRAINED TO RECOGNISE POLITICAL NECESSITIES AND NOT TO ATTEMPT ANY BUT POSSIBLE SUCCESSES
+ ALL THE GREAT POLITICAL ACTORS SEEMED HURRYING AWAY FROM THE STAGE AS IF THE DRAMA WERE APPROACHING ITS END
+ IN FIFTEEN SIXTY TWO AT THE BATTLE OF DRU HE WAS AGED AND SO ILL THAT NONE EXPECTED TO SEE HIM ON HORSEBACK
+ HE FULLY ARMED SAVE ONLY HIS HEAD ANSWERED HIM RIGHT WELL SIR THIS IS THE REAL MEDICINE THAT HATH CURED ME FOR THE BATTLE WHICH IS TOWARD AND A PREPARING FOR THE HONOUR OF GOD AND OUR CAMP
+ THE LADIES PEACE CONCLUDED A CAMBRAI IN FIFTEEN TWENTY NINE LASTED UP TO FIFTEEN THIRTY SIX INCESSANTLY TROUBLED HOWEVER BY FAR FROM PACIFIC SYMPTOMS PROCEEDINGS AND PREPARATIONS
+ AT LAST HE DECIDED UPON RETREATING
+ IT WAS GARCELASO DE LAVECA THE PRINCE OF SPANISH POESY THE SPANISH PETRARCH ACCORDING TO HIS FELLOW COUNTRYMEN
+ MOMMERNCY SIGNED A SIMILAR ONE FOR PIEDMONT
+ THEY ALL REPAIRED TOGETHER TO THE HOUSE PREPARED FOR THEIR RECEPTION AND AFTER DINNER THE EMPEROR BEING TIRED LAY DOWN TO REST ON A COUCH QUEEN ELEANOR BEFORE LONG WENT AND TAPPED AT HIS DOOR AND SENT WORD TO THE KING THAT THE EMPEROR WAS AWAKE
+ FRANCES WITH THE CARDINAL DE LORRAINE AND THE CONSTABLE DEMORENCY SOON ARRIVED
+ ON ENTERING THE CHAMBER HE FOUND THE EMPEROR STILL LYING DOWN AND CHATTING WITH HIS SISTER THE QUEEN WHO WAS SEATED BESIDE HIM ON A CHAIR
+ YES SAID CHARLES I HAD MADE SUCH CHEER THAT I WAS OBLIGED TO SLEEP IT OFF
+ FRANCIS DID THE CONVERSE WITH HIS OWN COLLAR
+ ONLY SEVEN OF THE ATTENDANTS REMAINED IN THE EMPEROR'S CHAMBER AND THERE THE TWO SOVEREIGNS CONVERSED FOR AN HOUR AFTER WHICH THEY MOVED TO THE HALL WHERE A SPLENDID SUPPER AWAITED THEM
+ THE GHENTIS PLEADED THEIR PRIVILEGE OF NOT BEING LIABLE TO BE TAXED WITHOUT THEIR OWN CONSENT
+ ORDERS HAD BEEN SENT EVERYWHERE TO RECEIVE HIM AS KINGS OF FRANCE ARE RECEIVED ON THEIR JOYOUS ACCESSION
+ BUT SINCE THERE EXISTED FOR US NO RESPONSIBILITY WE EACH REPORTED DUTIFULLY AT THE ROLL CALL OF HABIT AND DRAW BACK INTO OUR BLANKETS WITH A GRATEFUL SIGH
+ I REMEMBER THE MOON SALON A GOOD GATE AMONG APPARENTLY STATIONARY CLOUDS I RECALL A DEEP BLACK SHADOW LINED BEFORE DISTANT SILVERY MOUNTAINS I GLANCED OVER THE STARK MOTIONLESS CANVASSES EACH OF WHICH CONCEALED A MAN THE AIR TREMBLED WITH THE BELLOWMENT OF CATTLE AND THE CORRALS
+ SEEMINGLY BUT A MOMENT LATER THE COOK'S HOW BROUGHT ME THE CONSCIOUSNESS AGAIN
+ THREE WERE TO CARE FOR THE RAMUDA FIVE WERE TO MOVE THE STRAY HERD FROM THE CAROUSE TO GOOD FEED THREE BREAD AND CREWS WERE TOLD TO BRAND THE CASS WE HAD COLLECTED IN THE CUT OF THE AFTERNOON BEFORE THAT TOOK UP ABOUT HALF THE MEN
+ THE REST WERE TO MAKE A SHORE DRIVE IN THE SOLID GRASS
+ WE WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO DID GO AFOOT HOWEVER ALTHOUGH THE CORRALS WERE NOT MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED YARDS AS DISTANCE
+ BETWEEN THE UPRIGHT BARS OF GREASE WOOD WE COULD SEE THE CATTLE AND NEAR THE OPPOSITE SIDE THE MEN BUILT IN A FIRE NEXT FENCE
+ WE PUSHED OPEN THE WIDE GATE AND ENTERED
+ ONE STOOD WAITIN FOR THEM TO FINISH A SHEAF OF LONG J H STAMP AND IRONS IN HIS HAND
+ ALL THE REST SQUATTED ON THEIR HEELS ALONG THE FENCE SMOKING CIGARETTES AND CHATTING TOGETHER
+ THE FIRST RAYS OF THE SUN SIGNED ACROSS AND ONE GREAT SWEEP FROM THE REMOTE MOUNTAINS
+ HOMER WOODEN AND OLD CALIFORNIA JOHN RODE IN AMONG THE CATTLE
+ AS THE LOOP SETTLED HE JERKED SHARPLY UPWARD EXACTLY AS ONE WOULD STRIKE TO HOOK A BIG FISH
+ HOMER WRAPPED THE ROPE TWICE OR THRICE ABOUT THE HORN AND SET OVER IN ONE STRIP TO VOID THE TIDE AND LINE AND TO PRESERVE THE BALANCE
+ NOBODY PAID ANY ATTENTION TO THE CALF
+ BEHIND HIM FOLLOWED HIS ANXIOUS MOTHER HER HEAD SWINGING FROM SIDE TO SIDE NEAR THE FIRE THE HORSE STOPPED
+ THE TWO BULLDOGS IMMEDIATELY POUNCE UPON THE VICTIM
+ IT WAS PROMPTLY FLOPPED OVER ON ITS RIGHT SIDE
+ THUS THE CALF WAS UNABLE TO STRUGGLE
+ WHEN ONCE YOU HAVE HAD THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF YOU OR A RIB OR TWO BROKEN YOU CEASED TO THINK THIS UNNECESSARILY ROUGH
+ HOT IRON YELLED ONE OF THE BULLDOGERS
+ MARKER YELLED THE OTHER
+ THE BRANDER PRESSED THE IRON SMOOTHLY AGAINST THE FLANK
+ PERHAPS THE CALF BLADED A LITTLE LESS THE HEAT SCORCHED
+ THE BRAN SHOWED CHERRY WHICH IS THE PROPER COLOUR TO INDICATE DEW PEELIN AND A SUCCESSFUL MARK
+ THEN HE NICKED OUT A SWALLOW TAIL ON THE OTHER
+ IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A GREAT DEAL OF UNNECESSARY TWADDLE IS ABROAD AS TO THE EXTREME CRUELTY OF BRANDON
+ UNDOUBTEDLY IT IS TO SOME EXTENT PAINFUL IT COULD SOME OTHER METHOD OF READY IDENTIFICATION BE DEVISED IT MIGHT BE AS WELL TO ADOPT IT IN PREFERENCE
+ INEXTINGUISHABLE LAUGHTER FALL THE SPREAD OF THIS DOCTRINE THROUGH ARIZONA
+ IMAGINE A PUNCHER DESCENDING TO EXAMINE POLITELY THE EAR TAGS OF WILD CATTLE ON THE OPEN RANGE WERE IN AROUND UP
+ A CALF USUALLY BELLOWS WHEN THE IRON BITES BUT AS SOON AS RELEASED HE ALMOST INVARIABLY GHOST OF FEET AND OR TO LOOK AN IDLY ABOUT
+ BESIDES WHICH IT HAPPENS BUT ONCE IN A LIFETIME AND IS OVER IN TEN SECONDS A COMFORT DID NOT TO THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD OUR TEETH FILLED
+ ONE OF THE LITTLE ANIMALS WAS BUT A FEW MONTHS OLD SO THE RIDER DID NOT BOTHER WITH ITS HIND LEGS BUT TOSSED HIS LOOP OVER ITS NECK
+ MISTER FOSSE'S BULL CALF ALONE IN PICTORIAL HISTORY SHOWS THE ATTITUDES
+ AND THEN OF COURSE THERE WAS A GORGEOUS CONTRAST BETWEEN ALL THIS FRANTIC AND UNCOMPREHENDING EXCITEMENT AND THE ABSOLUTE MATTER OF FACT IN PROPUTABILITY OF HORSE AND RIDER
+ AS HE KNEW HIS BUSINESS AND AS THE CALF WAS A SMALL ONE THE LITTLE BEAST WENT OVER PROMPTLY BIT THE GROUND WITH THE WHACK AND WAS POUNCED UPON AND HELD
+ HE WOULD CATCH HIMSELF ON ONE FOOT SCRAMBLELESSLY AND IN BY STRUGGLING BACK TO THE UPRIGHT
+ YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
+ THIS IS PRODUCTIVE OF SOME FUN OF IT FAILS
+ BUT NOW THE BRANDON WAS IN FULL SWING
+ WHEN THE NOOSES FELL THEY TURNED AND WALKED TOWARD THE FIRE AS A MATTER OF COURSE RARELY DID THE CAST FELL
+ MEN RAN TO AND FRO BUSY AND INTENT
+ SOMETIMES THREE OR FOUR CALVES WERE ON THE GROUND AT ONCE
+ THUS EIGHTEEN DISSIPATED
+ NO MORE NECKED CALVES THEY ANNOUNCED
+ THEN HE WAS SPIT ON HIS HANDS AND GO AT IT ALONE
+ OF LUCK ATTENDED HIS FIRST EFFORT HIS SARA CHASM WAS PROFOUND THERE'S YOUR LITTLE CALF SAID HE
+ WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE ME TODE TO YOU OR DO YOU RECKON YOU COULD TODDLE THIS FAR WITH YOUR LITTLE OLD IRON
+ TOWARD NOON THE WORK SLEPT
+ FINALLY HOMER RODE OVER TO THE CATTLEMAN AND REPORTED THE BRANDON FINISHED
+ THE LATTER COUNTED THE MARKS IN HIS TOLLY BOOK
+ ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX HE ANNOUNCED
+ THE MARKERS SQUATTED ON THEIR HEELS TOLD OVER THE BITS OF EARS THEY HAD SAVED
+ THE TOTAL AMOUNTED TO BUT AN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE
+ FINALLY WOULDN'T DISCOVERED IT IN HIS HIP POCKET
+ THEY HAD BEEN DOING A WRESTLER'S HEAVY WORK ALL THE MORNING THEY DID NOT SEEM TO BE TIRED
+ I'LL SEW ONCE IN SOME CRANK PHYSICAL CULTURE PERIODICAL THAT A COWBOY'S LIFE WAS PHYSICALLY ILL BALANCED LIKE A NORSEMAN'S IN THAT IT EXERCISED ONLY CERTAIN MUSCLES OF THE BODY
+ AT THIS MOMENT THE HEAVY BEAT OF THE STORM ON THE ROOF CEASED WITH MIRACULOUS SUDDENNESS LEAVING THE OUTSIDE WORLD EMPTY OF SOUND SAVE FOR THE DRIP DRIP DRIP OF EAVES
+ WE HAD EVER SORT OF PEOPLE WITH US OFF AND ON AND AS I WAS LOOK OUT AT A POPULAR GAME I SAW THEM ALL
+ AT THE SAME INSTANT HEARD THE RIP OF STEEL THROUGH CLOTH AND FELT A SHARP STAB IN A LEFT LEG
+ THEN I SCOUTED TO SEE WHAT HAD CUT ME AND FOUND THAT THE FELLOW HAD LOST A HAND
+ IN PLACE OF IT HE WORE A SHARP STEEL HOOK
+ THERE WAS NO DOUBT OF HIS BEN ALIVE FOR HE WAS BREATHING HARD LIKE A MAN DOES WHEN HE GETS HIT OVER THE HEAD IT DIDN'T SOUND GOOD
+ WHEN A MAN BREATHES THAT WAY HE'S MOSTLY ALL GONE
+ MIN GOT BETTED OVER THE HEAD OFTEN ENOUGH IN THOSE DAYS
+ SOUR WINE IS FINE TO PUT A WOUND IN SHAPE TO HEEL BUT IT'S NO SOOTHIN SYRUP
+ THEIR COFFIN WEARS THEIR SHIP AND THE GRAVE IT WAS THE SEA BLOW HIGH BLOW LOW WHAT CARE WE AND THE QUARTER THAT WE GAVE THEM WAS TO SINK THEM IN THE SEA DONE ON THE COAST OF THE HIGH BARBARY
+ IT FAIR MADE MY HAIR RISE TO HEAR HIM WITH A BIG STILL SOLEMN DESERT OUTSIDE AND THE QUIET MOONLIGHT IN THE SHADOWS AND HIM SETTIN UP STRAIGHT AND GAUNT HIS EYES BLAZING EACH SIDE HIS BIG EAGLE NOSE AND HIS SNAKY HAIR HANGING OVER THE RAW CUT ACROSS HIS HEAD
+ HOWEVER I MADE OUT TO GET HIM BANDAGE UP AND IN SHAPE AND PRETTY SOON HE SORT OF WENT TO SLEEP
+ THEN AGAIN IT'S SEEING DAT BARBERY'S SONG UNTIL I'D GO OUT AN LOOK AT THE OLD COLLAR ROD O FLOWIN BY JIST TO BE SURE I HADN DIED AN GONE BELOW OR ELSIE JEST TALK
+ HE BEGAN WHEN HE WAS A KID AND HE GAVE HIS SIGHT OF CONVERSATIONS PAUSING FOR REPLIES
+ I USED TO LISTEN BY THE HOUR BUT I NEVER MADE OUT ANYTHING REALLY IMPORTANT AS TO WHO THE MAN WAS OR WHERE HE'D COME FROM OR WHAT HE'D DONE
+ I DIDN'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO HIM FOR HE WAS QUIET
+ USUALLY I DIDN'T BOTHER WITH HIS TALK FOR IT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING A SOMETHING IN HIS VOICE MADE ME TURN
+ HE WAS LYING ON HIS SIDE THE MOST BLACK EYES OF HE HAS BLAZING AT ME BUT NOW BOTH OF THEM SAW THE SAME DISTANCE
+ WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES HE ASKED VERY INTENSE
+ ONE LITTLE SQUEEZE TALK BATCHER DEADLY WEAPONS
+ BUT HE'D BEEN TOO SICK AND TOO LONG A BED
+ AND A MINUTE OR SO HE CAME TO
+ NOW YOU'RE A NICE SWEET PROPOSITION SAID I AS SOON AS I WAS SURE HE COULD UNDERSTAND ME
+ THEY'RE SAFE ENOUGH LET ME HAVE THEM HE BEGGED
+ NOW LOOK HERE SAID I YOU CAN'T GET UP TO DAY YOU AIN'T FIT
+ I KNOW HE PLEADED BUT LET ME SEE THEM
+ JUST AS SATISFIED I PASSED OVER HIS OLD DIRDS
+ I'VE BEEN ROBBED SHE CRIED
+ WHERE'S MY COAT HE ASKED
+ YOU HAD NO COAT WHEN I PITCH YOU UP I REPLIED
+ HE LOOKED AT ME MIGHTY SUSPICIOUS BUT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING MORE HE WOULDN'T EVEN ANSWER WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM
+ AFTER HE DEED'N A FAIR MAIL HE FELL ASLEEP
+ WHEN I CAME BACK THAT EVENING IN THE BUNK WAS EMPTY AND HE WAS GONE
+ I DIDN'T SEEM AGAIN FOR TWO DAYS
+ THEN I CAUGHT SIGHT OF HIM QUITE AWAY AS ALL
+ GUESS HE'S SUSPICIOUS I STOLE THAT OLD COTER HIS THINKS I AND AFTERWARDS I FOUND THAT MY SURMISE HAD BEEN CORRECT
+ HOWEVER HE DIDN'T STAY LONG IN THAT FRAME OF MIND
+ I RAN UP POOR MC GUN
+ THE MIX WAS FLAT ON HIS FACE HIS ARMS STRETCHED OUT
+ ON THE MIDDLE OF HIS BACK NOW MY ONE ARMED FRIEND
+ ANYWAY I THRUST THE MUZZLE OF MY COLTS INTO THE SAILOR'S FACE WHAT'S THIS I ASKED
+ AWEENHI MID MONTALAIS ANTONIO CURVIS SAID HE
+ THE GLEAM DIED FROM HIS EYE THE SNARL LIFT HIS LIPS
+ IN ANY CASE HE FLEW POCOPANTO LEAVING ME AND MY FRIEND TOGETHER
+ DURING THE NEXT TWO MONTHS SHE WAS A GOOD DEAL ABOUT TOWN MOSTLY DOIN ODD JOBS I SAW HIM MOFFIN ON
+ HOWEVER I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THAT BEING AT THE TIME ALMIGHTY BUSY HOLDING DOWN MAC HARD GAMES
+ THAT'S ALL RIGHT SAID I BUT YOU'D BETTER STAY RIGHT THERE
+ I WANT TO MAKE UP TO YOU FOR YOUR TROUBLE SAID HE
+ WHAT KIND OF GOOD THING I ASKED TREASURE SAID HE
+ HE LOOKED ALL RIGHT ENOUGH NEITHER DRUNK NOR LOCO
+ SIT DOWN SAID I OVER THERE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TABLE
+ HE DID SO AFAR AWAY SAID I
+ AN IT'S A BIG THING SAID HANDY SOLEMN A TIMMY FOR THEY'S NOT ONLY GOLD BUT ALLTRED JEWELS AND DIAMONDS
+ IT WILL MAKE US RICH AND I DOESN'T LIKE US AND YOU CAN KISS THE BOOK ON THAT
+ THAT MAY ALL BE TRUE SAID I BUT WHY DO YOU TELL ME
+ WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR TREASURE WITHOUT THE NEED OF DIVINEMENT
+ WHY MATE HE ANSWERED IT'S JUST PLAIN GRATITUDE
+ DIDN'T YOU SAVE MY LIFE AND NUST ME AND TAKE CARE OF ME WHEN I WAS NOT KILLED
+ LOOK HERE ANDERSON NOR HANDY SOLOMON OR WHATEVER YOU PLEASE TO CALL YOURSELF I REJOINED TO THIS YOU'RE GOING TO DO BUSINESS WITH ME AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YET JUST WHAT IT IS YOU WANT OF ME YOU'LL HAVE TO TALK STRAIGHT
+ IT'S ALL VERY WELL TO SAY GRATITUDE BUT THAT DON'T GO WITH ME
+ THE DEVIL'S A PREACHER IF ME LOST YOUR PEN FEATHER SAID HE
+ WELL'S THIS THEN I GOT TO HAVE A BOAT TO GET THERE AND SHE MUST BE STOPPED
+ AND I GOT TO HAVE HELPED WITH A TREASURE IF HE'S LIKE THIS FELLOW SAID IT WAS
+ IT'S MONEY I GOT TO HAVE AN IT'S MONEY I HAVEN'T GOT AN CAN'T GIT ENLIS A LIT SOMEBODY IN HIS PARDNER
+ WHY ME I ASKED WHY NOT HE RETORTED
+ WE TALK THE MATTER OVER AT LENGTH
+ I STOOD AFTER A LARGER PARTY
+ HE STRONGLY OPPOSED THIS AS DEPRECIATED THE SHARES BUT I HAD NO INTENTION OF GOING ALONE INTO WHAT WAS THEN CONSIDERED A WILD AND DANGEROUS COUNTRY FINALLY WE COMPROMISED
+ A THIRD OF THE TREASURE WAS TO GO TO HIM A THIRD TO ME AND THE REST WAS TO BE DIVIDED AMONG THE MAN WHOM I SHOULD SELECT THIS SCHEME DID NOT APPEAL TO HIM
+ JUNIOR AVONLEA FOUND IT HARD TO SETTLE DOWN TO HUMDRUM EXISTENCE AGAIN
+ PERHAPS AFTER A WHILE I'LL GET USED TO IT BUT I'M AFRAID CONCERTS SPOIL PEOPLE FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
+ I SUPPOSE THAT IS WHY MARILLA DISAPPROVES OF THEM
+ I FEEL JUST NOW THAT I MAY GROW UP TO BE SENSIBLE YET
+ I JUST LAY AWAKE AND IMAGINED THE CONCERT OVER AND OVER AGAIN
+ EVENTUALLY HOWEVER AVONLEA SCHOOL SLIPPED BACK INTO ITS OLD GROOVE AND TOOK UP ITS OLD INTERESTS
+ NONE OF THE SLOANES WOULD HAVE ANY DEALINGS WITH THE BELLS BECAUSE THE BELLS HAD DECLARED THAT THE SLOANES HAD TOO MUCH TO DO IN THE PROGRAMME AND THE SLOANES HAD RETORTED THAT THE BELLS WERE NOT CAPABLE OF DOING THE LITTLE THEY HAD TO DO PROPERLY
+ THE WINTER WEEKS SLIPPED BY
+ ON ANNE'S BIRTHDAY THEY WERE TRIPPING LIGHTLY DOWN IT KEEPING EYES AND EARS ALERT AMID ALL THE CHATTER FOR MISS STACY HAD TOLD THEM THAT THEY MUST SOON READ A COMPOSITION ON A WINTER'S WALK IN THE WOODS AND IT BEHOOVED THEM TO BE OBSERVANT
+ I CAN SCARCELY REALIZE THAT I'M IN MY TEENS
+ IT'S A GREAT COMFORT TO THINK THAT I'LL BE ABLE TO USE BIG WORDS THEN WITHOUT BEING LAUGHED AT
+ RUBY GILLIS THINKS OF NOTHING BUT BEAUS SAID ANNE DISDAINFULLY
+ SHE IS ACTUALLY DELIGHTED WHEN ANYONE WRITES HER NAME UP AND A TAKE NOTICE FOR ALL SHE PRETENDS TO BE SO MAD
+ I'M TRYING TO BE AS MUCH LIKE MISSUS ALLAN AS I POSSIBLY CAN FOR I THINK SHE IS PERFECT
+ IF I HAD ALICE BELL'S CROOKED NOSE SAID ANNE DECIDEDLY I WOULDN'T BUT THERE
+ I'M AFRAID I THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT MY NOSE EVER SINCE I HEARD THAT COMPLIMENT ABOUT IT LONG AGO
+ OH DIANA LOOK THERE'S A RABBIT
+ THEY'RE SO WHITE AND STILL AS IF THEY WERE ASLEEP AND DREAMING PRETTY DREAMS
+ I WROTE AT LAST MONDAY EVENING
+ IS CALLED THE JEALOUS RIVAL OR IN DEATH NOT DIVIDED
+ I READ IT TO MARILLA AND SHE SAID IT WAS STUFF AND NONSENSE
+ IT'S A SAD SWEET STORY
+ CORDELIA WAS A REGAL BRUNETTE WITH A CORONET OF MIDNIGHT HAIR AND DUSKLY FLASHING EYES
+ YOU KNOW SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU DID WHEN YOU WERE ONLY TWELVE
+ THEY GREW IN BEAUTY SIDE BY SIDE UNTIL THEY WERE SIXTEEN
+ I ASKED RUBY GILLIS IF SHE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT HOW MEN PROPOSE BECAUSE I THOUGHT SHE'D LIKELY BE AN AUTHORITY ON THE SUBJECT HAVING SO MANY SISTERS MARRIED
+ BUT SHE PRETENDED TO BE JEALOUSY AND HIS FRIEND THE SAME AS EVER
+ LET'S YOU AND ME HAVE A STORY CLUB ALL OUR OWN AND WRITE STORIES FOR PRACTICE
+ YOU OUGHT TO CULTIVATE YOUR IMAGINATION YOU KNOW MISS STACY SAYS SO
+ ONLY WE MUST TAKE THE RIGHT WAY
+ THIS WAS HOW THE STORY CLUB CAME INTO EXISTENCE
+ NO BOYS WERE ALLOWED IN IT ALTHOUGH RUBY GILLIS A PIN THAT THEIR ADMISSION WOULD MAKE IT MORE EXCITING AND EACH MEMBER HAD TO PRODUCE ONE STORY A WEEK
+ EACH GIRL HAS TO READ HER STORY OUT LOUD AND THEN WE TALK IT OVER
+ MINE IS ROSAMOND MONTMORES ALL THE GIRLS SHE PRETTY ABOUT
+ I'M SURE THAT MUST HAVE A WHOLESOME EFFECT
+ THE MORE IS THE GREAT THING MISTER ALLEN SAYS SO
+ I READ ONE OF MY STORIES TO HIM AND MISSUS ALLEN AND THEY BOTH AGREE THAT THE MORAL WAS EXCELLENT
+ JANE AND RUBY ALMOST ALWAYS CRY WHEN I COME TO THE PATHETIC PARTS
+ MISS JOSEPHINE BARRY WROTE BACK THAT SHE HAD NEVER READ ANYTHING SO AMUSING IN HER LIFE
+ I'M SURE MISSUS ALLEN WAS NEVER SUCH A SILLY FORGETFUL LITTLE GIRL AS YOU ARE
+ I FELT SO ENCOURAGED WHEN HE HEARD THAT
+ MISSUS LYNDE'S HAS SHE ALWAYS FELT SHOCKED WHEN SHE HEARS OF ANYONE EVER HAVING BEEN NAUGHTY NO MATTER HOW SMALL THEY WERE
+ NOW I WOULDN'T HAVE FELT THAT WAY
+ VANITY AND VEXATION OF SPIRIT
+ THE SPRING WAS ABROAD IN THE LAND AND MARILLA'S SOBER MIDDLE AGED STEP WAS LIGHTER AND SWIFTER BECAUSE OF ITS DEEP PRIMAL GLADNESS
+ I MUST SAY WITH ALL HER FAULTS I NEVER FOUND HER DISOBEDIENT OR UNTRUSTWORTHY BEFORE AND I'M REAL SORRY TO FIND HER SO NOW
+ PERHAPS YOU'RE JUDGED IN HER TOO HASTILY MARILLA
+ OF COURSE I KNEW YOU'D TAKE HER PART MATTHEW BUT I'M BRINGING HER UP NOT YOU
+ DEMANDED MARILLA ANXIOUSLY GOING OVER TO THE BED
+ ANNE COWERED DEEPER INTO HER PILLOWS AS IF DESIROUS OF HIDING HERSELF FOREVER FROM MORTAL EYES NO
+ GET RIGHT UP THIS MINUTE AND TELL ME
+ THIS MINUTE I SAY THERE NOW WHAT IS IT
+ AND HAD SLID TO THE FLOOR IN DESPAIRING OBEDIENCE
+ YES IT'S GREEN MOANED ANNE
+ I THOUGHT NOTHING COULD BE AS BAD AS RED HAIR
+ YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN INTO ANY SCRAPE FOR OVER TWO MONTHS AND I WAS SURE ANOTHER ONE WAS DUE
+ NOW THEN WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR
+ ANNE SHIRLEY DIDN'T YOU KNOW IT WAS WICKED THING TO DO
+ YES I KNEW IT WAS A LITTLE WICKED ADMITTED ANNE
+ I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE YOUR WORD DADDEN
+ AND MISSUS ALLAN SAYS WE SHOULD NEVER SUSPECT ANYONE OF NOT TELLING US THE TRUTH UNLESS WE HAVE PROOF THAT THEY ARE NOT
+ BUT I HADN'T BEEN AND I BELIEVED EVERY WORD HE SAID IMPLICITLY
+ WHO SAID WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
+ OH I DIDN'T LET HIM IN THE HOUSE
+ IN A TRICE I SAW MYSELF WITH BEAUTIFUL RAVE AND BLACK HAIR AND THE TEMPTATION WAS IRRESISTIBLE
+ OH MARILLA WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE WHEN FIRST WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE
+ YOU HEAR MUST BE CUT OFF THERE IS NO OTHER WAY YOU CAN'T GO OUT WITH IT LOOKING LIKE THAT
+ WITH A DISMAL SIGH SHE WENT FOR THE SCISSORS
+ BUT THERE WAS NOTHING COMFORTING AND HAVING YOUR HAIR CUT OFF BECAUSE YOU'VE DYED IT A DREADFUL COLOR IS THERE
+ I'M GOING TO WEEP ALL THE TIME YOU'RE CUTTING IT OFF IF IT WON'T INTERFERE
+ IT SEEMS SUCH A TRAGIC THING
+ ANNE WEPT THEN BUT LATER ON WHEN SHE WENT UPSTAIRS AND LOOKED IN THE GLASS SHE WAS CALM WITH DESPAIR
+ YES I WILL TOO
+ I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS VAIN ABOUT MY HAIR OF ALL THINGS BUT NOW I KNOW I WAS IN SPITE OF ITS BEING RED BECAUSE IT WAS SO LONG AND THICK AND CURLY
+ I EXPECT SOMETHING LAMP WILL HAPPEN TO MY NOSE NEXT
+ ANNE'S CLIPPED TED MADE A SENSATION IN SCHOOL ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY BUT TO HER RELIEF NOBODY GUESSED THE REAL REASON FOR IT NOT EVEN JOSIE PYE WHO HOWEVER DID NOT FAIL TO INFORM ANNE THAT SHE LOOKED LIKE A PERFECT SCARECROW
+ IT'S HARD TO BE TOLD YOU LOOK LIKE A SCARED SCARECROW AND I WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING BACK THAT I DID IT
+ I MAKES YOU FEEL VERY VIRTUOUS WHEN YOU FORGIVE PEOPLE DOESN'T IT
+ I MEAN TO DEVOTE ALL MY ENERGIES TO BE GOOD AFTER THIS AND I SHALL NEVER TRY TO BE BEAUTIFUL AGAIN
+ OF COURSE IT'S BETTER TO BE GOOD
+ I DO REALLY WANT TO BE GOOD MARILLA LIKE YOU AND MISSUS ALLAN AND MISS STACY AND GRABBED TO BE A CREDIT TO YOU
+ DIANA SAYS WHEN MY HAIR BEGINS TO GROW TO TIE A BLACK VELVET RIBBON AROUND MY HEAD WITH A BOW AT ONE SIDE
+ I WILL CALL IT A SNOOTY THAT SOUNDS SO ROMANTIC
+ MY HEAD IS BETTER NOW
+ IT IS TERRIBLE BAD THIS AFTERNOON THOUGH
+ OF COURSE YOU MUST BE ELAINE ANNE SAID DIANA
+ OF COURSE IT WOULD BE ROMANTIC CONCEDED JANE ANDREWS BUT I KNOW THAT I COULDN'T KEEP STILL
+ BUT IT'S SO RIDICULOUS TO HAVE A RED HEADEDTY LANE MOURNED ANNE
+ AND ELAINE WAS A LITTLE MAID
+ YOUR COMPLEXION IS JUST AS FAIR AS RUBIES SAID DIANA EARNESTLY AND YOUR HAIR IS EVER SO MUCH DARKER THAN IT USED TO BE BEFORE YOU CUT IT
+ IT WAS SPLENDID TO FISH FOR TROT OVER THE BRIDGE AND THE TWO GIRLS LEARNED TO ROW THEMSELVES ABOUT IN THE LITTLE FLAT BOTTOMED DORRY MISTER BARRY KEPT FOR DUCK SHOOTING
+ IT WAS ANXIETY THAT THE DRAMATIZER LANE
+ THOSE DAYS SHE SAID WERE SO MUCH MORE ROMANTIC THAN THE PRESENT
+ THEY HAD OFTEN GONE DOWN LIKE THIS AND NOTHING COULD BE MORE CONVENIENT FOR PLAYING A LANE
+ THE BLACK SHELL HAVING BEEN PROCURED ANNE SPED IT OVER THE FLAT AND THEN LAY DOWN ON THE BOTTOM WITH CLOSED EYES AND HANDS FOLDED OVER HER BREAST
+ IT SPOILS THE EFFECT BECAUSE THIS IS HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE MISSUS LINBESBORNE
+ JANE YOU WRENCHES
+ IT'S SIMPLY FERLING TO BE TALKING WHEN SHE'S DEAD
+ JANE ROSE TO THE OCCASION
+ LEFT BEHIND THE LANDING
+ ANNE GAVE ONE GASPING LITTLE SCREAM WHICH NOBODY EVER HEARD SHE WAS WHITE TO THE LIPS BUT SHE DID NOT LOSE HER SELF POSSESSION
+ THERE WAS ONE CHANCE JUST ONE
+ UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES YOU DON'T THINK MUCH ABOUT MAKING A FLOWERY PRAYER
+ THE FLAT DRIFTED UNDER THE BRIDGE AND THEN PROMPTLY SANK IN MID STREAM
+ RUBY JANE AND DIANA ALREADY AWAITING IT ON THE LOWER HEADLAND SAW IT DISAPPEAR BEFORE THE VERY EYES AND HAD NO DOUBT BUT THAT ANNE HAD GONE DOWN WITH IT
+ THE MINUTES PASSED BY A SEEMING LIKE AN HOUR TO THE UNFORTUNATE LILY MAID
+ WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY COME WHERE HAD THE GIRLS GONE
+ HER IMAGINATION BEGAN TO SUGGEST ALL MANNER OF GRUESOME POSSIBILITIES TO HER
+ ANNE SHIRLEY
+ HOW ON EARTH HAVE YOU GOT UP THERE HE EXCLAIMED
+ IT WAS CERTAINLY EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BE DIGNIFIED UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES
+ WHAT HAS HAPPENED DAN
+ ASKED GILBERT TAKING UP HIS OARS
+ WE WERE PLAYING ELAINE EXPLAINED ANNE FRIGIDLY WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT HER RESCUE OUT AND I HAD TO DRIFT DOWN TO CAMELOT IN THE BARGE I MEAN THE FIGHT
+ FOR A MOMENT ANNE HESITATED
+ HER HEART GAVE A QUICK QUEER LITTLE BEAK
+ HER RESENTMENT WHICH TO OTHER AN OLDER PEOPLE MIGHT BE AS LAUGHABLE AS ITS CAUSE WAS IN NO WHIT ALLAYED AND SOFTENED BY TIME SEEMINGLY
+ NO SHE SAID COLDLY I SHALL NEVER BE FRIENDS WITH YOU GILBERT BLYTHE AND I DON'T WANT TO BE
+ ALL RIGHT
+ I'LL NEVER ASK YOU TO BE FRIENDS AGAIN ANNE SHIRLEY AND I DON'T CARE EITHER
+ OF COURSE HE HAD INSULTED HER TERRIBLY BUT STILL
+ EVERYTHING I DO GETS ME OR MY DEAREST FRIENDS INTO ESCAPE
+ AND'S PRESENTIMENT PROVE MORE TRUSTWORTHY THAN PRESENTIMENTS ARE APT TO DO
+ WILL YOU EVER HAVE ANY SENSE ANNE GROANED MARILLA
+ I DON'T SEE HOW SAID MARILLA
+ EVER SINCE I CAME TO GREEN GABLES I'VE BEEN MAKING MISTAKES AND EACH MISTAKE HAS HELPED TO CURE ME OF SOME GREAT SHORTCOMING
+ OUR EXTREMOUS PLEASURE HAS SOME SORT OF GROANING AND COMPLETING IN IT WOULD YOU NOT SAY THAT IT IS DYING OF PAIN
+ THE HIGHEST AND FULLEST CONTENTMENT OFFERS MORE OF THE GRAVE THAN OF THE MARY IPSA FELICATEAS SAYNESSY TEMPERAT PREMIT EVEN FELICITY UNLESS IT MODERATE ITSELF OPPRESSES
+ SOCRATES SAYS THAT SOME GOD TRIED TO MIX IN ONE MASS AND A CONFOUND PAIN AND PLEASURE BUT NOT BEING ABLE TO DO IT HE BETHOUGHT HIM AT LEAST TO COUPLE THEM BY THE TAIL METRODOR SAID THAT IN SORROW THERE'S SOME MIXTURE OF PLEASURE
+ NATURE DISCOVERS THIS CONFUSION TO US PAINTER'S HOLD THAT THE SAME MOTIONS AND GRIMACES OF THE FACE THAT SERVE FOR WEEPING SERVE FOR LAUGHTER TOO AND INDEED BEFORE THE ONE OR THE OTHER BE FINISHED DO BUT OBSERVE THE PAINTER'S MANNER OF HANDLING AND YOU WILL BE IN DOUBT TO WHICH OF THE TWO THE DESIGN TENDS AND THE EXTREME OF LAUGHTER DOES AT LAST BRING TEARS
+ AND THEREFORE COMMON AND LESS SPECULATIVE SOULS ARE FOUND TO BE MORE PROPER FOR AND MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THE MANAGEMENT OF AFFAIRS AND THE ELEVATED AND EXQUISITE OPINIONS OF PHILOSOPHY UNFIT FOR BUSINESS THIS SHARP VIVACITY OF SOUL AND THE SUPPLE AND RESTLESS VOLUBILITY ATTENDING IT DISTURB OUR NEGOTIATIONS
+ HE WHO DIES INTO AND IN HIS INQUISITION COMPREHENDS ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AND CONSEQUENCES HINDERS HIS ELECTION A LITTLE ENGINE WELL HANDLE IS SUFFICIENT FOR EXECUTIONS WHETHER OF LESS OR GREATER WEIGHT
+ THE ROMANS BY THIS MEANS ERECTED THEIR COLONIES FOR PERCEIVING THEIR CITY TO GROW IMMEASURABLY POPULOUS THEY EASED IT OF THE MOST UNNECESSARY PEOPLE AND SENT THEM TO INHABIT AND CULTIVATE THE LANDS CONQUERED BY THEM SOMETIMES ALSO THEY PURPOSELY MAINTAIN WARS WITH SOME OF THEIR ENEMIES NOT ONLY TO KEEP THEIR OWN MEN IN ACTION FOR FEAR LEST IDLENESS THE MOTHER OF CORRUPTION SHOULD BRING UPON THEM SOME WORSE INCONVENIENCE
+ AND WE SUFFER THE ILLS OF A LONG PEACE LUXURY IS MORE PERNICIOUS THAN MORE
+ AND THIS ALSO WAS ONE REASON WHY OUR KING PHILIP CONSENTED TO SEND HIS SON JOHN UPON A FOREIGN EXPEDITION THAT HE MIGHT TAKE ALONG WITH HIM A GREAT NUMBER OF HOT YOUNG MEN WHO WERE THEN IN HIS PAY
+ WHAT OTHER END DOES THE IMPIOUS ART OF THE GLADIATORS PROPOSE TO ITSELF WHAT THE SLAUGHTER OF YOUNG MEN WHAT PLEASURE FED WITH BLOOD
+ PRINCE TAKE THE HONOURS DELAYED FOR THY REIGN AND BE SUCCESSOR TO THY FATHERS HENCEFORTH LET NONE AT ROME BE SLAIN FOR SPORT
+ LET BEASTS BLOOD STAIN THE INFAMOUS ARENA AND NO MORE HOMICIDES BE THERE ACTED
+ IT WAS NOT ENOUGH FOR THEM TO FIGHT AND TO DIE BRAVELY BUT CHEERFULLY TOO INSOMUCH THAT THEY WERE HISSED AND CURSED IF THEY MADE ANY HESITATION ABOUT RECEIVING THEIR DEATH
+ THE VERY GIRLS THEMSELVES SET THEM ON
+ BEGINNING OF REVOLT
+ AT THIS UNEXPECTED COMMAND THE SURPRISE WAS GREAT ON BOARD THE FORWARD
+ LIGHT THE FIRES EXCLAIMED SOME
+ WHAT WITH AS OTHERS
+ AND STUFFED THE STOVE WITH THE MASTS ADDED WARREN
+ DID YOU HEAR ME
+ WHO SPOKE CRIED HATTERAS
+ I DID SAID PENN ADVANCING TOWARDS THE CAPTAIN
+ I SAY ANSWERED PEN WITH AN OATH I SAY WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF IT AND WE WON'T GO ANY FURTHER
+ YOU SHAN'T KILL US WITH HUNGER AND WORK IN THE WINTER AND THEY SHA'N'T LIGHT THE FIRES
+ IF YOU REPEAT WHAT THE MAN SAYS ANSWERED HATTERAS I'LL HAVE YOU SHUT UP IN YOUR CABIN AND GUARDED
+ A MURMUR WAS HEARD
+ THE ENGINEER FOLLOWED BY PLOVER AND WORN WENT DOWN TO HIS POST
+ THE STEAM WAS SOON GOT UP THE ANCHORS WERE WEIGHED AND THE FORWARD VEERED AWAY EAST CUTTING THE YOUNG ICE WITH HER STEEL PROW
+ BETWEEN BEARING ISLAND AND BEECHER POINT THERE ARE A CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF ISLANDS IN THE MIDST OF ICE FIELDS THE STREAMS CROWD TOGETHER IN THE LITTLE CHANNELS WHICH CUT UP THIS PART OF THE SEA THEY HAD A TENDENCY TO AGGLOMERATE UNDER THE RELATIVELY LOW TEMPERATURE HUMMOCKS WERE FORMED HERE AND THERE AND THESE MASSES ALREADY MORE COMPACT DENSER AND CLOSER TOGETHER WOULD SOON FORM AN IMPENETRABLE MASS
+ I'M BEGINNING NOT TOO ANSWERED WALL
+ HATTERAS STILL HOPED TO FIND AN OPEN SEA BEYOND THE SEVENTY SEVENTH PARALLEL AS SIR EDWARD BELCHER HAD DONE
+ OUGHT HE TO TREAT THESE ACCOUNTS APOCRYPHAL
+ THE NEXT DAY THE SUN SET FOR THE FIRST TIME ENDING THUS THE LONG SERIES OF DAYS WITH TWENTY FOUR HOURS IN THEM
+ THE MEN HAD ENDED BY GETTING ACCUSTOMED TO THE CONTINUAL DAYLIGHT BUT IT HAD NEVER MADE ANY DIFFERENCE TO THE ANIMALS THE GREENLAND DOGS WENT TO THEIR REST AT THEIR ACCUSTOMED HOUR AND DICK SLEPT AS REGULARLY EVERY EVENING AS THOUGH DARKNESS HAD COVERED THE SKY
+ THE DOCTOR BY FOLLOWING JOHNSON'S ADVICE ACCUSTOMED HIMSELF TO SUPPORT THE LOW TEMPERATURE HE ALMOST ALWAYS STAYED ON DECK BRAVEING THE COLD THE WIND AND THE SNOW
+ THERE IS MORE THAN ONE AMONGST US WHO WOULD LIKE TO AND IMITATE THEM I THINK
+ THEY ARE COWARDS MISTER CLAWBONNY THOSE ANIMALS HAVE NO PROVISIONS AS WE HAVE AND ARE OBLIGED TO SEEK THEIR FOOD WHERE IT IS TO BE FOUND
+ YOU HOPE THAT HATTERAS WILL SUCCEED THEN
+ HE CERTAINLY WILL MISTER CLAWBONNY
+ I'M OF THE SAME OPINION AS YOU JOHNSON AND IF HE ONLY WANTED ONE FAITHFUL COMPANION HE'LL HAVE TWO
+ PRINCE ALBERT LAND WHICH THE FORRARD WAS THEN COASTING BEARS ALSO THE NAME OF GRENELL LAND AND THOUGH HATTERAS FROM HIS HATRED TO THE YANKEES WOULD NEVER CALL IT BY ITS AMERICAN NAME IT IS THE ONE IT GENERALLY GOES BY
+ ON THE EIGHTEENTH OF AUGUST THEY SIGHTED BRITANNIA MOUNTAIN SCARCELY VISIBLE THROUGH THE MIST AND THE FORWARD WEIGHED ANCHOR THE NEXT DAY IN NORTHUMBERLAND BAY
+ WHEN THE LOFTY FUCINITIES IS ABOUT TO ENTER UPON HIS DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAGUE THAT DESOLATED ATHENS ONE OF HIS MODERN COMMENTATORS ASSURES THE READER THAT THE HISTORY IS NOW GOING TO BE EXCEEDINGLY SOLEMN SERIOUS AND PATHETIC AND HINTS WITH THAT AIR OF CHUCKLING GRATULATION WITH WHICH A GOOD DAME DRAWS FORTH A CHOICE MORSEL FROM A CUPBOARD TO REGALE A FAVORITE THAT THIS PLAGUE WILL GIVE HIS HISTORY A MOST AGREEABLE VARIETY
+ SUCH ARE THE TRUE SUBJECTS FOR THE HISTORIC PEN
+ THE FALL OF EMPIRES THE DESOLATION OF HAPPY COUNTRIES SPLENDID CITIES SMOKING IN THEIR RUINS THE PROUDEST WORKS OF ART TUMBLED IN THE DUST THE SHRIEKS AND GROANS OF WHOLE NATIONS ASCENDING UNTO HEAVEN
+ THUS THOSE SWARMS OF FLIES WHICH ARE SO OFTEN EXECRATED AS USELESS VERMIN ARE CREATED FOR THE SUSTENANCE OF SPIDERS AND SPIDERS ON THE OTHER HAND ARE EVIDENTLY MADE TO DEVOUR FLIES
+ ANCIENT TRADITIONS SPEAK MUCH OF HIS LEARNING AND OF THE GALLANT INROADS HE HAD MADE INTO THE DEAD LANGUAGES IN WHICH HE HAD MADE CAPTIVE A HOST OF GREEK NOUNS AND LATIN VERBS AND BROUGHT OFF RICH BOOTY IN ANCIENT SAWS AND APOTHEGMS WHICH HE WAS WONT TO PARADE IN HIS PUBLIC HOANGS AS A TRIUMPHANT GENERAL OF YORE HIS SPOLIA OPIMA
+ IT WAS OBSERVED HOWEVER THAT HE SELDOM GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT WITHOUT GETTING INTO A PERPLEXITY AND THEN INTO A PASSION WITH HIS ADVERSARY FOR NOT BEING CONVINCED GRATIS
+ HIS ABODE WHICH HE HAD FIXED AT A BOWERY OR COUNTRY SEAT AT A SHORT DISTANCE FROM THE CITY JUST AT WHAT IS NOW CALLED DUTCH STREET SOON ABOUNDED WITH PROOFS OF HIS INGENUITY PATENT SMOKE JACKS THAT REQUIRED A HORSE TO WORK THEM DUTCH OVENS THAT ROASTED MEAT WITHOUT FIRE CARTS THAT WENT BEFORE THE HORSES WEATHER COCKS THAT TURNED AGAINST THE WIND AND OTHER WRONG HEADED CONTRIVANCES THAT ASTONISHED AND CONFOUNDED ALL BEHOLDERS
+ IT IS IN KNOWLEDGE AS IN SWIMMING HE WHO FLOUNDERS AND SPLASHES ON THE SURFACE MAKES MORE NOISE AND ATTRACTS MORE ATTENTION THAN THE PEARL DIVER WHO QUIETLY DIVES IN QUEST OF TREASURES TO THE BOTTOM
+ THUS WHEN DOGMAS LEAD IT WHAT THE MAN REALLY AND IN GENERAL WILLS REMAINS STILL THE SAME
+ FOR THESE ARE CAREFUL ONLY FOR THEMSELVES FOR THEIR OWN EGOISM JUST LIKE THE BANDIT FROM WHOM THEY ARE ONLY DISTINGUISHED BY THE ABSURDITY OF THEIR MEANS
+ THE DEEDS AND CONDUCT OF AN INDIVIDUAL AND OF A NATION MAY BE VERY MUCH MODIFIED THROUGH DOGMAS EXAMPLE AND CUSTOM
+ WITH AN EQUAL DEGREE OF WICKEDNESS ONE MAN MAY DIE ON THE WHEEL AND ANOTHER IN THE BOSOM OF HIS FAMILY
+ IT IS CONCEIVABLE BY A PERFECT STATE OR PERHAPS INDEED A COMPLETE AND FIRMLY BELIEVED DOCTRINE OF REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS AFTER DEATH MIGHT PREVENT EVERY CRIME POLITICALLY MUCH WOULD BE GAINED THEREBY MORALLY NOTHING ONLY THE EXPRESSION OF THE WILL IN LIFE WOULD BE RESTRICTED
+ WE WHO HERE SEEK THE THEORY OF VIRTUE AND HAVE THEREFORE ALSO TO EXPRESS ABSTRACTLY THE NATURE OF THE KNOWLEDGE WHICH LIES AT ITS FOUNDATION WILL YET BE UNABLE TO CONVEY THAT KNOWLEDGE ITSELF IN THIS EXPRESSION
+ HE SEES THAT THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN HIMSELF AND OTHERS WHICH TO THE BAD MAN IS SO GREAT A GULF ONLY BELONGS TO A FLEETING AND ELUSIVE PHENOMENON
+ HE RECOGNIZES HIMSELF HIS WILL IN EVERY BEING AND CONSEQUENTLY ALSO IN THE SUFFER
+ BUT THE LATTER IS THE NECESSARY AND INEVITABLE SYMPTOM OF THAT KNOWLEDGE
+ THE OPPOSITE OF THE STAIN OF CONSCIENCE THE ORIGIN AND SIGNIFICANCE OF WHICH IS EXPLAINED ABOVE IS THE GOOD CONSCIENCE THE SATISFACTION WHICH WE EXPERIENCE AFTER EVERY DISINTERESTED DEED
+ THE GOOD MAN LIVES IN A WORLD OF FRIENDLY INDIVIDUALS THE WELL BEING OF ANY OF WHOM HE REGARDS AS HIS OWN
+ THEREFORE ALTHOUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LOT OF MANKIND GENERALLY DOES NOT MAKE ITS DISPOSITION A JOYFUL ONE YET THE PERMANENT KNOWLEDGE OF HIS OWN NATURE IN ALL LIVING BEINGS GIVES HIM A CERTAIN EVENNESS AND EVEN SERENITY OF DISPOSITION
+ FOR THE INTEREST WHICH IS EXTENDED TO INNUMERABLE MANIFESTATIONS CANNOT CAUSE SUCH ANXIETY AS THAT WHICH IS CONCENTRATED UPON ONE
+ THE ACCIDENTS WHICH CONCERN INDIVIDUALS COLLECTIVELY EQUALIZE THEMSELVES WHILE THOSE WHICH HAPPEN TO THE PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL CONSTITUTE GOOD OR BAD FORTUNE
+ THUS THOUGH OTHERS HAVE SET UP MORAL PRINCIPLES WHICH THEY GIVE OUT AS PRESCRIPTIONS FOR VIRTUE AND LAWS WHICH IT WAS NECESSARY TO FOLLOW I AS HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID CANNOT DO THIS BECAUSE I HAVE NO AUGHT OR LOT PRESCRIBED TO THE ETERNALLY FREE WILL
+ FURTHER THAN THIS IT CANNOT GO FOR THERE EXIST NO REASON FOR PREFERRING AN INDIVIDUALITY OF ANOTHER TO ITS OWN
+ YET THE NUMBER OF OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHOSE WHOLE HAPPINESS OR LIFE IS IN DANGER MAY OUTWEIGH THE REGARD FOR ONE'S OWN PARTICULAR WELL BEING
+ SO DIED SOCRATES AND GUERDONO BRUNO AND SO MANY A HERO OF THE TRUTH SUFFERED DEATH AT THE STAKE AT THE HAND OF THE PRIESTS
+ WEEPING IS COLDLY SYMPATHY WITH OUR OWN SELVES OR SYMPATHY DIRECTED BACK ON ITS SOURCE
+ IT IS THEREFORE CONDITIONAL UPON THE CAPACITY FOR LOVE AND SYMPATHY AND ALSO UPON IMAGINATION
+ WHEN WE ARE MOVED TO TEARS NOT THROUGH OUR OWN SUFFERING BUT THROUGH THAT OF ANOTHER THIS HAPPENS AS FOLLOWS
+ EITHER WE VIVIDLY PUT OURSELVES IN THE PLACE OF THE SUFFERER BY IMAGINATION OR SEE IN HIS FATE THE LOT OF HUMANITY AS A WHOLE AND CONSEQUENTLY FIRST OF ALL OUR OWN LOT AND THUS IN A VERY ROUNDABOUT WAY IT IS YET ALWAYS ABOUT OURSELVES THAT WE WEEP SYMPATHY WITH OURSELVES WHICH WE FEEL THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PRINCIPAL REASON OF THE UNIVERSAL AND THUS NATURAL WEEPING IN THE CASE OF DEATH
+ FIRST OF ALL HE CERTAINLY WEEPS FOR THE FATE OF THE DEAD BUT HE ALSO WEEPS WIN AFTER LONG HEAVY AND INCURABLE SUFFERING DEATH WAS TO THIS MAN A WISH FOR DELIVERANCE
+ THEY WERE IN THE LAND THIS PEOPLE SAID BEFORE THE MOON HAD COME INTO THE SKY
+ AND MANY OF THE MAGICIANS OF EGYPT WHO HAD COME WITH KEEN CHESTRESS STAYED IN THAT CITY OF THEA AND THEY TAUGHT PEOPLE SPELLS THAT COULD STAY THE MOON AND ARE GOING AND COMING IN A RISING AND SETTING
+ MEDIA TOO HIS WISE DAUGHTER KNEW THE SECRETS TAUGHT BY THOSE WHO COULD SWAY THE MOON
+ FOR JASON WAS THE GRANDSON OF CRETHEUS AND CRETHEUS WAS THE BROTHER OF ATHAMAS THEIR GRANDFATHER
+ JASON TOOK PELLEAS AND HELLEMON WITH HIM
+ AS THERE CAME TO THE CITY A MIST FELL AND JASON AND HIS COMRADES WITH THE SONS OF PHRIXUS WENT THROUGH THE CITY WITHOUT BEING SEEN
+ THE MISTS LIFTED AND BEFORE THE HEROES WAS THE WONDER OF THE PALACE IN THE BRIGHT LIGHT OF THE MORNING
+ ON EACH SIDE OF THE COURTYARD WERE THE PALACE BUILDINGS IN ONE KEEN AEDUS LIVED WITH ABSURDEST HIS SON AND IN THE OTHER CHALCIOPE AND MEDIA LIVED WITH THEIR HAND MATRONS
+ AND THEN A DOVE FLEW TOWARD HER IT WAS BEING CHASED BY A HAWK AND MEDIA SAW THE HUCK'S EYES AND BEAK
+ WE PULLED AWAY FROM THAT PLACE AND THEREAFTER WE WERE DRIVEN BY THE WINDS BACK TO THE MOUTH OF THE PHRASUS
+ WITH HIM THERE CAME THE MIDIEST OF THE HEROES OF GREECE
+ ALREADY HE HAS HEARD OF YOUR BITTER FOES THE SORMATI
+ HE WITH HIS COMRADES WOULD SUBDUE THEM FOR YOU
+ AID HIS HEART WAS FILLED WITH WRATH AS HE LOOKED UPON THEM AND HIS EYES SHONE AS A LEOPARD'S EYES
+ AND THEN SPEAKING TO THE KING IN A QUIET VOICE JASON SAID
+ HIS HEART WAS DIVIDED AS TO WHETHER HE SHOULD SUMMON HIS ARMED MEN AND HAVE THEM SLAIN UPON THE SPOT OR WHETHER HE SHOULD PUT THEM INTO DANGER BY THE TRIAL HE WOULD MAKE OF THEM
+ IT MAY BE THAT YE ARE TRULY OF THE SEED OF THE MORTALS
+ AND IT MAY BE THAT I SHALL GIVE YOU THE GOLD PLACE TO BEAR AWAY AFTER I HAVE MADE TRIAL OF YOU
+ SHE ENTERED SOFTLY AND SHE STOOD AWAY FROM HER FATHER AND THE FOUR WHO WERE SPEAKING WITH HIM
+ SHE HAD A DARK FACE I WAS MADE VERY STRANGE BY HER CROWN OF GOLD HAIR
+ KNOW THAT ON THE PLAIN OF ARRAS YONDER I HAVE TWO FAR BREATHING BOWLS WITH FEET ABREAST
+ THEN I SOWED THE FURROWS NOT WITH THE SEED THAT DEMETER GIVES BUT WITH TEETH OF A DRAGON
+ IF YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS THAT I ACCOMPLISHED IN DAYS GONE BY I SHALL SUBMIT TO YOU AND GIVE YOU THE GOLDEN FLEECE
+ BUT IF YOU CANNOT ACCOMPLISH WHAT I ONCE ACCOMPLISHED YOU SHALL GO FROM MY CITY EMPTY HANDED FOR IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT A BRAVE MAN SHOULD YIELD AUGHT TO ONE WHO CANNOT SHOW HIMSELF AS BRAVE
+ THEN JASON UTTERLY CONFOUNDED CAST HIS EYES UPON THE GROUND
+ I WILL DARE THIS CONTEST MONSTROUS AS IT IS
+ AS HE SAID THIS HE SAW THE EYES OF MEDEA GROW WIDE AS WITH FEAR
+ PRUNTIS AND MOUSE WENT TO WHERE THEIR MOTHER WAS
+ AND AS A MORTAL APOLLO SOUGHT TO EARN HIS BREAD AMONGST MEN
+ AFTERWARD PEOPLE WONDERED AT MEDICES EVER SMILING FACE AND EVER RADIANT BEING
+ THAT WAS BEFORE IT MATTERS SAILED ON THE ARGO WITH JASON AND THE COMPANIONS OF THE QUEST
+ THEREAFTER AT MEDUS HAVING LOVE OF ALCESTIS WAS EVEN MORE HAPPY THAN HE HAD BEEN BEFORE
+ A RADIANT FIGURE IT WAS AND HAD MEDICINE KNEW THAT THIS WAS APOLLO COME TO HIM AGAIN
+ BUT APOLLO TURNED TO ADMITTEST A FACE THAT WAS WITHOUT JOY
+ WHAT YEARS OF HAPPINESS HAVE BEEN MINE OHPOLLO THROUGH YOUR FRIENDSHIP FOR ME SAID NOD MEDUS
+ BUT STILL APOLLO STOOD BEFORE HIM WITH A FACE THAT WAS WITHOUT JOY
+ HE SPOKE AND HIS VOICE WAS NOT THAT CLEAR AND VIBRANT VOICE THAT HE AT ONCE IN SPEAKING TO ADMITTS
+ ADMETUS ADMETUS HE SAID IT IS FOR ME TO TELL YOU THAT YOU MAY NO MORE LOOK ON THE BLUE SKY NOR WALK UPON THE GREEN EARTH
+ IT IS FOR ME TO TELL YOU THAT THE GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD WILL HAVE YOU COME TO HIM AT MEDUS AND MENACE KNOW THAT EVEN NOW THE GOD OF THEUNDERAL IS SENDING DEATH FOR YOU
+ IF ONE WILL GO WILLINGLY IN THY PLACE WITH DEATH THOU CANST STILL LIVE ON GO ITMETH
+ AND THEN HE CAME UPON AN ANCIENT WOMAN WHO SAT UPON STONES IN THE COURTYARD GRINDING CORN BETWEEN TWO STONES
+ THERE SHE WAS SITTING AS HE HAD FIRST KNOWN HER WITH HER EYES BLEARED AND HER KNEES SHAKING AND WITH THE DUST OF THE COURTYARD AND THE HUSKS OF THE CORN IN HER MATTED HAIR
+ HE WENT TO HER AND SPOKE TO HER AND HE ASKED HER TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THE KING AND GO WITH DEATH
+ BUT WHEN SHE HEARD THE NAME OF DEATH HORROR CAME INTO THE FACE OF THE ANCIENT WOMAN AND SHE CRIED OUT THAT SHE WOULD NOT LET DEATH COME NEAR HER
+ ADMETUS TOOK THE MAN SHRIVELLED HAND AND HE ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD NOT TAKE THE KING'S PLACE AND GOETHE DEATH THAT WAS COMING FOR HIM
+ THEN ADMETUS WENT INTO THE PALACE AND INTO THE CHAMBER WHERE'S BED WAS AND HE LAY DOWN UPON THE BED AND HE LAMENTED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO GO WITH DEATH THAT WAS COMING FOR HIM FROM THE GOD OF LONDER WORLD AND HE LAMENTED THAT NONE OF THE WRETCHED ONES ROUND THE PALACE WOULD TAKE HIS PLACE
+ ONE SHOULD GO ON YOUR PLACE FOR YOU ARE THE KING AND HAVE MANY GREAT AFFAIRS TO ATTEND TO
+ NOW THE FOOTSTEPS SEEMED TO STOP
+ IT WAS NOT SO TERRIBLE FOR HIM AS BEFORE
+ AND THE WORDS HE HAD SPOKEN HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN BACK THE WORDS THAT HAD BROUGHT HER CONSENT TO GO WITH DEATH IN HIS PLACE
+ DEATH WOULD SOON BE HERE FOR HER
+ NO NOT HERE FOR HE WOULD NOT HAVE DEATH COME INTO THE PALACE
+ HE LIFTED ALQUESTA'S TRUNK BED AND HE CARRIED HER FROM THE PALACE
+ NO MORE SPEECH CAME FROM HER
+ AND AS FOR IT MATTERS HE WENT WITHIN THE CHAMBER AND KNELT BESIDE THE BED ON WHICH ALCHES HAD LAIN AND THOUGHT OF HIS TERRIBLE LOSS
+ TO WHAT GOD IS THAT SACRIFICE DO
+ AND THEN RACKLES FELT THAT ANOTHER LABOR WAS BEFORE HIM
+ I HAVE DRAGGED UP FROM THE UNDERWORLD HE THOUGHT THE HOUND THAT GUARDS THOSE WHOM DEATH BRINGS DOWN INTO THE REALM OF THE GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD
+ WHY SHOULD I NOT STRIVE WITH DEATH
+ AND WHAT A NOBLE THEME IT WOULD BE TO BRING BACK THIS FAITHFUL WOMAN TO HER HOUSE AND TO HER HUSBAND
+ HE LEFT THE PALACE OF ADMEDUS AND HE WENT TO THE TEMPLE OF THE GODS
+ YOU ARE HELD BY ME DEATH AND YOU WILL NOT BE LET GO UNLESS YOU PROMISE TO GO FORTH FROM THE SAMPLE WITHOUT BRINGING ONE WITH YOU
+ AND DEATH KNOWING THAT HERACLES COULD HOLD HIM THERE AND THAT THE BUSINESS OF THE GOD OF LANDORLD WOULD BE LEFT UNDONE IF HE WERE HELD PROMISED THAT HE WOULD LEAVE THE TEMPLE WITHOUT BRINGING ONE WITH HIM
+ SHE WAS VEILED AND ADMETUS COULD NOT SEE HER FEATURES
+ HERE IS A WOMAN WHOM I AM BRINGING BACK TO HER HUSBAND I WON HER FROM AN ENEMY
+ THIS I CANNOT DO SAID HERMED I'VE HAD PAINS ENOUGH
+ THEN AT EASE RAISED THE VEIL OF THE WOMAN HE HAD TAKEN ACROSS THE THRESHOLD OF HIS HOUSE
+ HE NOW WENT ON TILL HE CAME TO THE HOUSE AT THE DOOR OF WHICH HE WAS TO KNOCK THIS AIDED TWO OR THREE TIMES
+ CHRISTIEN I HAVE COME TO SEE THE GOOD MAN AT THE HOUSE
+ CHRISTIAN SIR I AM COME FROM THE CITY OF DESTRUCTION AND AM ON MY WAY TO MONTAEAN
+ I WILL STILLED BY THE MEN THAT STANDS AT THE GATE THAT IF I CAN HEAR YOU WOULD SHOW ME GOOD THINGS THAT WOULD HELP ME
+ HE STOOD AS IF HE WOULD PLEAD FOR MEN AND A CROWN OF GOLD HOW NEAR HE SAID
+ CHRISTIAN WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
+ THEN HE TOOK HIM TO A LARGE ROOM THAT WAS FULL OF DUST FOR IT HAD NOT BEEN SWEPT AND INTERPRETER TOLD HIS MAN TO SWEEP IT
+ CHRISTIAN WHAT MEANS THIS
+ THEN YOUR NECK SAW THE MAID COME INTO LAY THE DUST SO WE SEEM MADE CLING AND LAID LOW BY FAITH IN THE BOOK
+ JUST AS CHRISTIAN CAME UP TO THE KRAUS HIS LOAD SLID FROM HIS BACK CLOSE TO THE MOUTH OF THE TOMB WHERE IT FELL IN AND I SAW IT NO MORE
+ AS HE STOOD THUS AND WEPT LO THREE BROAD ONES CAME TO HIM AND ONE OF THEM SAIR PEACE BE TO THEE THOU HAST GRACED FROM THY SINS
+ CHRISTIAN GAVE THREE LEAPS FOR JOY AND SIN AS HE WENT AH WHAT A PLAZIS IS BLEST CRAWS BLEST TWO
+ HE WENT ON THUS TILL HE CAME TO A VEIL WHERE HE SAW THREE MEN WHO WERE IN A SOUND SLEEP WITH CHAINS ON THEIR FEET
+ PRISIAN SIRS WHENCE COME YOU AND WHERE DO YOU GO
+ FROM ALICE AND HYPOCRISY WE WERE BORN IN THE LANDIFYING GLORY AND ARE ON OUR WAY TO MOUNT THINE FOR PRAISE
+ KNOW YOU NOT THAT HE THAT COMES NOT IN AT THE DOOR BUT CLAMS UP TO GETTING THE SAME AS A THIEF
+ THEY TOLD CHRISTIAN THAT HE HAD NO NEED FOR CARE ON THAT SCORE FOR LONG YOUTHS HAD MADE A LAW AND THEY COULD PROVE THAT IT HAD BEEN SILVER YEARS
+ YES SAID THEY NO DOUBT OF IT
+ AND IF WE GETTING THE ROAD AT ALL PRAY WHAT ARE THE ARTS
+ IS NOT OUR CASE AS GOOD AS YOURS
+ I SAW THEN THAT THEY ALL WENT ON TILL THEY CAME TO THE FOOT OF THE HEEL OF DIFFICULTY WHERE THERE WAS A SPRING
+ NOW WHEN CHRISTIAN GOD AS FAR AS THE SPRING OF LIFE HE DRANK OF IT AND THEN WENT UP HEW
+ NOW HALF WE UP WAS A CAVE MADE BY THE LORD OF THAT HUE THAT THOSE WHO CAME BY MY RASPBERE
+ TIMURER SAT THAT TIME WAS FOR HEAL THEY MEANT TO CLIMB BUT THAT WHEN THEY HAD GOT HALF WAY THEY FOUND THAT THEY MET WITH MORE AND MORE RISK SO THAT GREAT FEAR CAME ON THEM AND ALL THEY COULD DO WAS TO TURN BACK
+ YES SAID MISTRUST FOR JUST IN FRONT OF US THERE LAY TWO BEASTS OF PREY NOW PATH WE KNEW NOT IF THEY SLEPT OR NOT BUT WE THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW THIS ENTER OURLINGS
+ YET HE THOUGHT ONCE MORE OF WHAT HE HAD HEARD FROM THE MAN AND THEN HE FELT IN HIS CLOAK FOR HIS CROW THAT HE MIGHT READ IT AND FIND SOME PEACE
+ HE FELT FOR IT BUT FOUND IT NOT
+ SO HE FELL DOWN ON HIS KNEES TO PRAY THAT GOD WOULD GIVE HIM GRACEFUL DISACT AND THEN WENT BACK TO LOOK FOR HIS CROW
+ OH FOOL THAT I AM SAID HE TO SLEEP IN THE DAY TIME SO THEY GAVE WAY TO THE FLESH AS TO USE FOR YEAST THAT REST WHICH LORD OF HEW HATH MADE BUT FOR THE HELP OF THE SOUL
+ SUCH WAS THE LOT OF THE JEWS FOR THEIR SING THEY WERE SENT BACK BY THE WAY OF THE RAT SEA AND I AM MADE THOSE STEPS WITH GRIEF WHICH I MIGHT HAVE TROD WITH JOY HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE SLEEVE
+ HOW FARMAN I HAVE BEEN ON MY WAY BY THIS TIME
+ NOW BY THIS TIME HE HAD COME TO THE VEIL ONCE MORE WHEREFORE SPELL HE SAT DOWN AND WEPT BUT AT LAST AS HE CAST A SAD GLANCE AT FOOD OF THE BENCH HE SAW HIS CROW WHICH HE CAUGHT IT WITH HASTE AND PUTTING HIS CLOAK
+ WORDS ARE TOO WEAK TO TELL THE JOY OF CHRISTIAN WHEN HE HAD GOT BACK HIS ROBE
+ HE LAID IT UP IN THE BREAST OF HIS COAT AND GAVE THANKS TO GOD
+ WITH WHAT ELISTAT DID HE NOW CLAMBER HUE
+ HA THOUGHT HE THESE BEES CRINGING THE NIGHT FOR THEIR PREY AND IF THEY SHOULD MEET WITH ME IN THE DARK HOW SHOULD I FLY FROM THEM
+ THE NAME OF THE MEN WHO KEPT THE LODGE OF THAT HOUSE WAS WATCHFUL AND WHEN HE SAW THAT CHRISTIAN MADE HOLD AS IF HE WOULD GO BACK HE CAME OUT TO HIM AND SAID IS BY STRENGTH SO SMALL
+ FEAR NOT THE TWO WILD BEASTS FOR THEY ARE BOUND BY CHAINS AND ARE PUT HERE TO TRY TO FAITH OF THOSE THAT HAVE IT AND TO FIND OUT THOSE THAT HATH NONE
+ KEEP IN THE MEASTER THE PATH AND NO HARM SHALL COME TO THEE
+ THEN I SAW IN MY DREAM THAT STILL HE WENT ON IN GRAY DREAD OF THE WILD BEASTS HE HEARD THEM ROAR YET THEY DID HIM NO HARM BUT WHEN HE HAD GONE BY THEM HE WENT ON WITH JOY TILL HE CAME AND STOOD IN FRONT OF THE LODGE WHERE WATCHFUL DOUBT
+ CHRISTIAN SIR WHAT HOUSE OF THIS MAN REST HERE TO NIGHT
+ WHEN WATCHFUL TOLD HER WHY QUESTION HAD COME THERE SHE SAID WHAT IS YOUR NAME
+ THEN CHRISTIAN BENT DOWN HIS HEAD AND WENT WITH HIM TO THE HOUSE
+ HIGHTY COME GOOD CHRISTIAN SEEMS OUR LOVE PROMPTS US TO TAKE FEELING TO REST LET US TALK WITH YOU A FAULT THAT SHOULD HAVE SEEN ON YOUR WAY
+ CHRISTEN WITH A RIGHT GOOD WILL AND I AM GLAD THAT YOU SHOULD ASK IT OF ME
+ PRUDENCE AND FIRST SAY WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YO WISH TO MUCH GO TO MONTIGNE
+ THERE THEY SAY IS NO DEATH AND THERE I SHALL DWELL WITH SUCH AS LOVE THE LORD
+ CHARITY HAVE YOUR WIFE AND BABES CHRISTIAN YES I HAVE
+ CHARITY AND WHY DID YOU NOT BRING THEM WITH YOU
+ BUT THEY WOULD NOW COME WITH ME NOR HAVE ME LEAVE THEM
+ THUS DID CHRISTIAN TALK WITH HIS FRIEND STILL THE ROOM DARK AND THEN HE TOOK HIS REST IN A LARGE ROOM THE NAME OF WHICH WAS PEACE THERE HE SLEPT TILL BREAK OF DAY AND THEN HE SENT HIM
+ AND THEY BROUGHT OUT A JOHN BONE OF AN ASS WITH WHICH SAND IS SUCH WAY FEES AND THE SLAIN AND STONE WITH WHICH DABBS SLEW GALLIETH OF CALF
+ WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS LAND SAID CHRISTIAN
+ THEN THEY TOLD HIM IT WAS SEYMUS LAND
+ MORE THAN THIS HE HATH BEEN HEARD TO REEL ON YOU MY LORD FOR ARE NOW HIS JUDGE
+ JUDE DOOM WOULD BE TO DIE ON THE SPOT STUPID LET US HEAR WHAT THOU HAST TO SAY
+ THEN THE JUDGE TO SOME OF THE KINGS SPOKE THOSE YOU SAY THIS MAN WHO HAS MADE SUCH A STIRRING NOWARD TOWN
+ THUS WHY WHEN LOST HIS LIFE FOR THE TRUTH A NEW MAN ROSE FROM HIS DEATH THE TRAP OF SAME WAY WAS QUESTION
+ COME HELPFUL SAID CUSHION LET US WALK ON THE GRASS
+ SO THEY SET OFF THROUGH THE FIELD
+ HOPEFUL I HAD MY FEARS FROM THE FIRST AND SO GAVE YOU A HINT CHRISTIAN GOOD FRIEND I GRIEVE THAT I HAVE BROUGHT YOU OUT OF THE RIGHT PATH
+ POFUL SAY NO MORE NO DOUBT IT IS FOR OUR GOOD
+ CHRISTIAN WE MUST NOW STAND THUS LET US TRY TO GO BACK
+ THEN SAID TRYING DESPAIR YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO FORCE YOUR WAY HIM HERE THE GROUND ON WHICH YOU LIE IS MINE
+ THEY HAD NOT MUCH TO SAY AS THEY KNEW THAT THEY WERE IN FOR IT
+ AND BY THIS ACT WE CURED OURSELVES AS WELL
+ FOR WHETHER IN THAT STATE MAN WOULD HAVE BEEN MASTER OR MEN
+ THEREFORE IN THE STATE OF INNOCENCE THAN HAD NO MASTERSHIP OF THE ANIMALS
+ THEREFORE IN THE STATE OF INNOCENCE BEFORE MAN HAD ITS SPADE NOTHING THAT WAS NATURALLY SUBJECT TO HIM
+ SIGNALLY DISAPPROVED BY THE ORDER OF A DIVINE PROVIDENCE WHICH OURS GOVERNS INFERIOR THINGS BY THE SUPERIOR
+ CERTAINLY THIS IS PROVED FROM A PROBABILITY OF MAN AND OTHER ANIMALS
+ NOW WHATEVER IS PARTICIPATED IS SUBJECTIVE WHAT IS ESSENTIAL AND UNIVERSAL
+ THEREFORE DOES OBJECTION OF OTHER ANIMALS TO MAN IS PROVED TO BE NATURAL
+ THEY WOULD NOW HOWEVER ON THIS KIND HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED FROM THE MASTERSHIP OF MEN AS NEITHER AT PRESENT NOR THEY FOR THEIR REASON EXCEPT FROM THE MASTERSHIP OF GOD WHOSE PROVIDENCE HAS ORDAINED ALL THIS
+ THIS IS SIGNIFIED BY THE FACT THAT GOD LED THE ANIMALS TO MEN THAT HE MIGHT GIVE THE NAMES EXPRESSIVE OF THEIR RESPECTIVE NATURES
+ SO O ENEMIES WOULD HAVE A BIT MEN OF THEIR OWN COURT AS IN THE PRESENT DAYS SOME DOMESTIC ANIMALS OBEY HIM
+ OBJECTION ONE IT WOULD SEEM THAT ANASON'S MAN WOULD NOT HAVE HAD MASTERSHIP OVER ALL OTHER CREATURES
+ MUCH LESS THEREFORE WOULD HE HAVE A BIG MAN IN THE STATE OF INNOCENCE
+ THEREFORE SINCE IT IS BY THIS REASON THAT MAN IS COMPETENT TO HAVE MASTERSHIP IT SEEMS FEDTING THE STATE OF INCENSE MAN HAD NOT BEEN IN OVER PLANS
+ NOW IN NO REASON HAS THE POSITION OF A MASTER AND NOT OF A SUBJECT
+ I INSERT THAT WE MUST NEEDS ADMIT THAT IN THE PRIMITIVE STATE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN SOME INEQUALITY AT LEAST AS REGARDS SEX BECAUSE GENERATION DEPENDS UPON DIVERSATIVE SEX AND LIKEWISE AS REGARDS AGE FOR SOME WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN OF OTHERS NOR WOULD SEXU UNION HAVE BEEN STERILE
+ THERE MIGHT ALSO HAVE BEEN BODILY DISPARITY
+ IN QUALITY MIGHT ALSO RISE ON THE PARTS OF NATURE AS ABOVE DESCRIBED WITHOUT ANY DEFECTIVE NATURE
+ OBJECTION ONE IT WILL SEEM THAT A MISTAKE OF INNOCENCE MEN WOULD NOT HAPPY MASTER OVER MEN
+ THEREFORE IN A STATE OF INNOCENCE MEN WOULD NOW HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO MEN
+ IN OTHER SENSE MASTERSHIP IS REFERRED IN A GENERAL SENSE TO ANY KIND OF SUBJECT AND IN THIS SENSE EVEN HE WHO HAS THE OFFICE OF GOVERNING AND DIRECTING FREEMEN CAN BE CALLED A MASTER
+ SUCH A KIND OF MASTERSHIP WOULD HAVE EXISTED IN THE STATE OF EMPHASIS BETWEEN MAN AND MEN FOR TWO REASONS
+ BUT IN THE STATE OF INNOCENCE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN LODEFUL AGE
+ ON THE CONTRARY EVERYTHING GENERATED ITS FIRST IMPERFECT BUT IN THE STATE OF INNOCENCE GEORGYN WOULD HAVE BEEN BEGOTTEN BY GENERATION
+ THEREFORE FROM THE FIRST THEY WOULD HAPPEN IMPERFECT IN BODILY SIZE AND POWER
+ THEREFORE IN THE STATE OF INNOCENCE THERE WAS NO NEED FOR WOMEN TO BE BORNE ON THE CONTRARY NATURE'S PROCESS IN GENERATION WOULD HAVE BEEN IN HARMONY WITH MANNER IN WHICH IT WAS ESTABLISHED BY GOD
+ I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MISTER VAN BRANDT IS IN PRISON FOR DEBT I SAID
+ AND I SAW FOR MYSELF LAST NIGHT THAT HE HAD LEFT YOU HELPLESS
+ HE LEFT ME THE LITTLE MONEY HE HAD WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED SHE REJOINED SADLY
+ HIS CRUEL CREDITORS ARE MORE TO BLAME THAN HE IS FOR THE POVERTY THAT HAS FALLEN ON US
+ EVEN THIS NEGATIVE DEFENCE OF VAN BRANDT STUNG ME TO THE QUICK I OUGHT TO HAVE SPOKEN MORE GUARDEDLY OF HIM I SAID BITTERLY
+ I OUGHT TO HAVE REMEMBERED THAT A WOMAN CAN FORGIVE ALMOST ANY WRONG THAN A MAN CAN INFLICT ON HER WHEN HE IS A MAN WHOM SHE LOVES
+ SHE PUT HER HAND ON MY MOUTH AND STOPPED ME BEFORE I COULD SAY ANY MORE
+ HOW CAN YOU SPEAK SO CRUELLY TO ME SHE ASKED
+ YOU KNOW TO MY SHAME I CONFESSED IT TO YOU THE LAST TIME WE MET YOU KNOW THAT MY HEART IN SECRET IS ALL YOURS
+ WHAT WRONG ARE YOU TALKING OF
+ IS IT THE WRONG I SUFFERED WHEN VAN BRANDT MARRIED ME WITH A WIFE LIVING AT THE TIME AND LIVING STILL
+ DO YOU THINK I CAN NEVER FORGET THE GREAT MISFORTUNE OF MY LIFE THE MISFORTUNE THAT HAS MADE ME UNWORTHY OF YOU
+ IT IS NO FAULT OF MINE GOD KNOWS BUT IT IS NOT THE LESS TRUE THAT I AM NOT MARRIED AND THAT THE LITTLE DARLING WHO IS PLAYING OUT THERE WITH HER DOLL AS MY CHILD
+ AND YOU TALK OF MY BEING YOUR WIFE KNOWING THAT THE CHILD ACCEPTS ME AS HER SECOND FATHER I SAID
+ IT WOULD BE BETTER AND HAPPIER FOR US BOTH IF YOU HAD AS LITTLE PRIDE AS A CHILD PRIDE SHE REPEATED
+ IN SUCH A POSITION AS MINE
+ A HELPLESS WOMAN WITH A MOCK HUSBAND IN PRISON FOR DEBT
+ AM I TO MARRY YOU FOR MY FOOD AND SHELTER
+ AM I TO MARRY YOU BECAUSE THERE IS NO LAWFUL TIE THAT BINDS ME TO THE FATHER OF MY CHILD
+ BAD AS HE IS HE IS NOT FORSAKEN ME HE HAS BEEN FORCED AWAY
+ MY ONLY FRIEND IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU THINK ME UNGRATEFUL ENOUGH TO CONSENT TO BE YOUR WIFE
+ THE WOMAN IN MY SITUATION MUST BE HEARTLESS INDEED WHO COULD DESTROY YOUR PLACE IN THE ESTIMATION OF THE WORLD IN THE REGARD OF YOUR FRIENDS
+ THE WRETCHEDEST CREATURE THAT WALKS THE STREETS WOULD SHRINK FROM TREATING YOU IN THAT WAY
+ OH WHAT ARE MEN MADE US
+ HOW CAN YOU HOW CAN YOU SPEAK OF IT
+ I YIELDED AND SPOKE OF IT NO MORE
+ EVERY WORD SHE UTTERED ONLY INCREASED MY ADMIRATION OF THE NOBLE CREATURE WHOM I HAD LOVED AND LOST
+ BITTERLY AS I HATED THE MAN WHO HAD PARTED US I LOVED HER DEARLY ENOUGH TO BE EVEN CAPABLE OF HELPING HIM FOR HER SAKE HOPELESS INFATUATION
+ I DON'T DENY IT I DON'T EXCUSE IT HOPELESS INFATUATION YOU HAVE FORGIVEN ME I SAID
+ LET ME DESERVE TO BE FORGIVEN
+ IT IS SOMETHING TO BE YOUR ONLY FRIEND
+ YOU MUST HAVE PLANNEDS FOR THE FUTURE TELL ME UNRESERVEDLY HOW I CAN HELP YOU
+ COMPLETE THE GOOD WORK THAT YOU HAVE BEGUN SHE ANSWERED GRATEFULLY HELP ME BACK TO HEALTH
+ MAKE ME STRONG ENOUGH TO SUBMIT TO A DOCTOR'S ESTIMATE OF MY CHANCES OF LIVING FOR SOME YEARS YET
+ A DOCTOR'S ESTIMATE OF YOUR CHANCES OF LIVING I REPEATED WHAT DO YOU MEAN
+ I HARDLY KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU SHE SAID WITHOUT SPEAKING AGAIN OF MISTER VAN BRANDT
+ DOES SPEAKING OF HIM AGAIN MEAN SPEAKING OF HIS DEBTS I ASKED
+ WHY NEED YOU HESITATE
+ YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING I WILL NOT DO TO RELIEVE YOUR ANXIETIES
+ NEVER LET ME TELL YOU THE PLAIN TRUTH
+ THERE IS A SERIOUS NECESSITY FOR HIS GETTING OUT OF PRISON
+ YES THIS IS HIS POSITION IN TWO WORDS A LITTLE WHILE SENSE HE OBTAINED AN EXCELLENT OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT ABROAD FROM A RICH RELATIVE OF HIS AND HE HAD MADE ALL HIS ARRANGEMENTS TO ACCEPT IT
+ UNHAPPILY HE RETURNED TO TELL ME OF HIS GOOD FORTUNE AND THE SAME DAY HE WAS ARRESTED FOR DEBT
+ THE SNARE THAT HAD BEEN SET FOR HER WAS PLAINLY REVEALED IN THOSE FORWARDS
+ IN THE EYE OF THE LAW SHE WAS OF COURSE A SINGLE WOMAN SHE WAS OF AGE SHE WAS TO ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES HER OWN MISTRESS
+ WHAT WAS THERE TO PREVENT HER FROM INSURING HER LIFE IF SHE PLEASED AND FROM SO DISPOSING OF THE INSURANCE AS TO GIVE VAMBRE A DIRECT INTEREST IN HER DEATH
+ THANKS TO THE HAPPY ACCIDENT OF MY POSITION THE ONE CERTAIN WAY OF PROTECTING HER LAY EASILY WITHIN MY REACH
+ I COULD OFFER TO LEND THE SCOUNDREL THE MONEY THAT HE WANTED IN AN HOUR'S NOTICE AND HE WAS A MAN TO ACCEPT MY PROPOSAL QUITE AS EASILY AS I COULD MAKE IT
+ YOU ARE QUITE MISTAKEN I REPLIED
+ I AM ONLY DOUBTING WHETHER YOUR PLAN FOR RELIEVING MISTER VAN BRANDT OF HIS EMBARRASSMENTS IS QUITE SO SIMPLE AS YOU SUPPOSE
+ ARE YOU AWARE OF THE DELAYS THAT ARE LIKELY TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO BORROW MONEY ON YOUR POLICY OF INSURANCE
+ I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT SHE SAID SADLY
+ WILL YOU LET ME ASK ADVICE OF MY LAWYERS
+ THEY ARE TRUSTWORTHY INEXPERIENCED MEN AND I AM SURE THEY CAN BE OF USE TO YOU
+ CAUTIOUSLY AS I HAD EXPRESSED MYSELF HER DELICACY TOOK THE ALARM
+ PROMISE THAT YOU WON'T ASK ME TO BORROW MONEY OF YOU FOR MISTER VAN BRANDT SHE REJOINED AND I WILL ACCEPT YOUR HELP GRATEFULLY
+ I COULD HONESTLY PROMISE THAT
+ MY ONE CHANCE OF SAVING HER LAY IN KEEPING FROM HER KNOWLEDGE THE CORSA I HAD NOW DETERMINED TO PURSUE
+ I ROSE TO GO WHILE MY RESOLUTION STILL SUSTAINED ME
+ KISS ME SHE WHISPERED BEFORE YOU GO
+ IT IS ONLY YOUR GOODNESS THAT OVERPOWERS ME
+ THE NEXT DAY EVERYBODY IN THE HOUSE BEGAN TO MAKE PREPARATIONS FOR THE JOURNEY
+ EVERYTHING WAS DONE VERY LEISURELY THOUGH THERE WAS A LOT OF TALKING AND DISPUTING AND THE GIVING OF CONTRARY ORDERS
+ THE OLD PORTER WAS FAIR DIRECTING AS SCOLDING THE SERVANTS AS THEY PILED THE RUGS AND BLANKETS AND BAGS OF FOOD AND POTS AND PANS AND DISHES INTO THE WAGON
+ THERE WAS QUITE A PROCESSION WHEN AT LAST THE BIG WAGON RUMBOED OUT THROUGH THE GATEWAY
+ BEHIND IT CAME THE GRANDMOTHER IN HER DULY DECK A SORT OF A LITTER OR EASY CHAIR SOME BETWEEN TWO LONG POLES
+ BESIDES THE FAMILY THERE WERE MANY SERVANTS AND SEVERAL OTHERS WALKED BESIDE A SLOW MOVING WAGGON
+ THE COOK TOO WHAT WITH THEM
+ GOOD BYE SHOUTED LITTLE NOW FROM HIS GARDEN WOLSEY WENT BY GOOD BYE
+ THEY SHOUTED GREETING THROUGH THEIR FRIEND THE POTTER AS THEY PASSED THEM AND ALSO TO THE OLD FACTOR SMEARED ALL OVER WITH ASHES WHO SAT IN A LITTLE BRICK HUT BY THE BRIDGE AND PRETENDED TO MAKE WONDERFUL CURES
+ THIS IS MORE FUN TO GOING TO SCHOOL SAID COLLA AS THE OXEN PLODDED ALONG THROUGH CLOUDS OF DUST
+ THESE LOVELY BIRDS ARE FOUND NEARLY EVERYWHERE IN INDIA AND IN SOME PARTS WERE IN QUITE WILD
+ HIS LONG MATTED HAIR HUNG ON HIS SHOULDERS AND HE WAS SAYING HIS PRAYERS WITH THE HELP OF A ROSARY OF BEADS WHICH HE CONTINUALLY PASSED THROUGH HIS HANDS
+ AS THE WAGON CAME UP A YOUNG MAN WHO ACCOMPANIED THE HOLY MAN RAN UP AND HELD OUT A BEGGING BOWL SAYING GIVE O CHARITABLE PEOPLE TO THIS HOLY ONE
+ NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS SO MANY BEGGARS AS INDIA
+ MANY OF THEM ARE CAUGHT WHOLLY MEN BECAUSE THEY DO NOTHING BUT MAKE PILGRIMAGES FROM ONE SACRED PLACE TO ANOTHER LIVING SOLELY ON THE ALMS THAT ARE GIVEN TO THEM
+ WHEN THEY HAD EATEN THEIR LUNCH THE YOUNG PEOPLE WENT TO EXPLORE THE GARDEN NEAR THEM
+ PERHAPS THEY ARE DOG SAID MIHALA A LITTLE FEARFULLY BUT THEY FORGOT ABOUT DOGS WHEN THEY SAW A THICKET OF SUGAR CANE DOWN BY A STREAM
+ PERHAPS WE CAN BUY SOME FROM THE MAN THERE HE IS NOW BLOWING BY THE STREAM SAID KOLA
+ IT IS THE GIVER FOR WATER SAID THE FARMER AS HE TOOK A LOST THOUGHT OF CAIN AND GENTLY GUIDED IT DOWN TO HIS DREAM
+ THE SNAKE IS ANOTHER SACRED ANIMAL OF THE HINDUS AND THEY WOULD NOT KILL OR INJURE WHEN FOR ANYTHING
+ AS THEY WERE BUT TO MOVE ON AGAIN THEY SAW GREEN CLOUD OF DUST DOWN THE ROAD
+ I TURNED OUT THAT IT WAS A GREAT AND POWERFUL REGGJAH GOING IN STATE ON A JOURNEY TO AS ANOTHER REGGJAH OR RULER OF ONE OF THE SMALL KINGDOMS OR STATES OF WHICH MARDEN AND DIOS FORMERLY MADE UP
+ FIRST THERE CAME A BIG ELEPHANT ALL DECORATED WITH SILK AND GOLD AND SILVER
+ ON THE ELEPHANT'S BACK IT WAS THE HOWDA WHICH IS LIKE A BIG CHAIR OF THE CANOPY OVER IT AND IN THIS SITTING CROSS LIGHT WAS THE RUJA A BIG FAT FELLOW DRESSED IN COLOURED SILKS AND JEWELS THE GREAT DIAMOND SET PLUME IN HIS TURBAN
+ BEHIND THE HOWDAHS DID A SERVANT HOLDING A BIG UMBRELLA A FINE FEATHERS OVER THE RAJA'S HEAD
+ THE DRIVER SAT ON THE NECK OF THE ELEPHANT AND GUIDED THE BIG BEAST AT PARTING HIM ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER WITH AN IRON SHADY STICK OR GOLD
+ ISN'T IT FINE TO ROLL AGAIN A BIG ELEPHANT
+ IN ALL THE REST OF THE DAY THE LITTLE FOLK TALKED OF NOTHING BUT THE GREAT REGINALOUS ESCORT
+ OUR PARTY CAME TO A HALT AMONG MANY OTHER BOULOGNE CARTS THE OWNERS OF WHICH WERE ALREADY SITTING AROUND ON THE GROUND COOKING THEIR SUPPERS OR BARGAINING FOR FOOD AT THEIR LITTLE BOOTH
+ THESE THEY USED FOR PLATES HEAPING THEM UP WITH THEIR BOILED RICE AND CURRY AND FISH AND ALL SORTS OF PUDDINGS AND SWEETS
+ A SUPPER WAS BEING EATEN ANOTHER PARTY STOPPED AT THE PARAMPED NOT FAR AWAY
+ WHEN THE LITTER WAS PUT DOWN THE YOUNG BOY STEPPED OUT LOOKING VERY PROUD AND HAUGHTY
+ HIS SERVANTS I ONCE SPREAD A HANDSOME RUG ON THE GROUND FOR HIM TO SIT ON I RUSHED ABOUT WAITING ON HIM TAKING GOOD CARE TO KEEP EVERYONE AT A DISTANCE
+ YES AND HOW HE ORDERS EVERYONE ABOUT HIM
+ AROUND THE LITTLE BRAMIN'S NECK WAS A THIN QUARTER THREAD WHICH WAS THE SIGN OF HIS HIGH CAST
+ MEANWHILE THE HAUGHTY LITTLE BRAMIN ATE HIS SUPPER WHEN HIS HEAD TURNED AWAY SO NO ONE COULD SEE HIM EAT AND THEN GROWING TIRED OF RESPECTFUL GLANCES OF THE CROWD AROUND HIM HE GOT INTO HIS LITTER AGAIN AND THE SERVANTS FASTENED THE CURTAINS TIGHTLY AROUND HIM
+ EVERYBODY SLEPT SOUNDLY IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT ONE OF THE SERVANTS WAS BEATING A DRUM MOST OF THE NIGHT WHICH THEY REALLY BELIEVED WAS THE WAY TO KEEP OFF EVIL SPIRITS
+ OH THE THIEVES HE CRIED

+ OH YOU'VE GOT TO TELL THE LOOKOUT WAS COMING OFF
+ NOW EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE IS TO BE READY WITHOUT SHOWING ANY WATCHFUL AND DENSE GOUT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ON THE WAY
+ AND AGAIN WHEN THE ARTIST'S FOLLOWING MALICORNE'S ADVICE WAS A LITTLE LATE IN ARRIVING AND WHEN SAINT AGNAN HAD BEEN OBLIGED TO BE ABSENT FOR SOME TIME IT WAS INTERESTING TO OBSERVE THAT THOUGH NO ONE WITNESSED THEM THOSE MOMENTS OF SILENCE FULL OF DEEP EXPRESSION WHICH UNITED IN ONE SIDE TWO SOULS MOST DISPOSED TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER AND WHO BY NO MEANS OBJECTED TO THE QUIET MEDITATION THEY ENJOYED TOGETHER
+ IN A WORD MALICORNE PHILOSOPHER THAT HE WAS THOUGH HE KNEW IT NOT HAD LEARNED HOW TO INSPIRE THE KING WITH AN APPETITE IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY AND WITH DESIRE AND THE ASSURANCE OF POSSESSION
+ IN THIS MANNER THEREFORE WITHOUT LEAVING HER ROOM AND HAVING NO CONFIDANT SHE WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO HER APARTMENT THUS REMOVING BY HER APPEARANCE A LITTLE TARDY PERHAPS THE SUSPICIONS OF THE MOST DETERMINED SCEPTIC
+ BUT THE DOOR REMAINED CLOSED AND NEITHER SIGHT AGNAN NOR THE PAINTER APPEARED NOR DID THE HANGINGS EVEN MOVE
+ GOOD UNEARTH LOVE SAID THE KING BUT TO RETURN QUICKLY
+ NO NO NOT TO DAY SIR
+ I KNEW BUT TOO WELL THAT YOU HAD NOT CEASED TO LOVE ME
+ THE VALERIE WITH A GESTURE PARTLY OF EXTREME TERROR AND PARTLY AS IF INVOKING A BLESSING ATTEMPTED TO SPEAK BUT CANNOT ARTICULATE ONE WORD
+ AT THE MOMENT HOWEVER WHEN THE KING THREW HIMSELF ON HIS KNEES A CRY OF UTTER DESPAIR RANG THROUGH THE CORRIDOR ACCOMPANIED BY THE SOUND OF RETREATING FOOTSTEPS
+ THE CAPTAIN SITTING BURIED IN HIS LEATHER ARMCHAIR HIS SPURS FIXED IN THE FLOOR HIS SWORD BETWEEN HIS LEGS WAS READING A NUMBER OF LETTERS AS HE TWISTED HIS MOUSTACHE
+ D'ARTAGNAN UTTERED A WELCOME FULL OF PLEASURE WHEN HE PERCEIVED HIS FRIEND'S SON
+ RAOUL MY BOY HE SAID BY WHAT A LUCKY INCIDENT DOES IT HAPPEN THAT THE KING HAS I CALLED YOU
+ THESE WORDS DO NOT SOUND AGREEABLY IN THE YOUNG MAN'S EARS WHO AS HE SEATED HIMSELF REPLIED UPON MY WORD I CANNOT TELL YOU ALL THAT I KNOW IS I HAVE COME BACK HUM
+ THAT THE KING HAS NOT RECALLED YOU AND YOU HAVE RETURNED
+ I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL
