Side 65 - Behold, the sower went forth to sow ; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them : and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Side 71 - I may have exerted, are all due to your pious training. I owe you a debt of gratitude which I can never repay. Though I cannot, God will grant you a reward lasting as eternity. It will add to that exceeding and eternal weight of glory which will be conferred on you in that day when the heavens shall be dissolved, and the elements melt with fervent heat.
Side 119 - ... craved some chivalric expression ; and whatever sentiment he may really have entertained for her in past days took new force in view of the sudden barriers that rose between him and the tender, graceful, confiding, charming Adele, whose image had so long and (as he now thought) so constantly dwelt in the dreamy mirage of his future. Under the spur of these feelings, he presently gave over his excited walk up and down the study, and, coming close to the Doctor, whispered, with a grave earnestness...
Side 134 - s no hypocrisy could win Adele." Reuben paced up and down the chamber, then came and took the hand of his old friend : — "Phil, you 're a noble-hearted fellow. I never thought any one could convict me of injustice to Adele. You have done it I hope you '11 always defend her ; and whatever may betide, I hope your mother and Rose will always befriend her. She may need it...
Side 86 - That is well, perhaps, Eliza ; it is quite as I had supposed." "And so the poor man's fortune is gone ! " continued the spinster, plaintively. " Not gone absolutely, Eliza, Maverick's language is, that his estate is in great peril," returned the Doctor. "Ah!" The spinster is thoughtful and silent for a while, during which the thimble - finger is also quiet. "Does your friend Maverick speak approvingly of such an attachment, brother ? " " By no means, Eliza ; he condemns it in the strongest terms.
Side 143 - You are facetious, my friend," said Papiol. But in the next moment the lady opposite had raised her eyes, showing that strange double look which had been so characteristic of Madame Aries, and poor Papiol was himself fearfully distraught. " It 's true ! it 's true, mon ami ! " he whispered his friend. " It 's Julie ! — die meme, — Julie ! " Maverick, too, had met that glance, and he trembled like a leaf.
Side 248 - ... cargo at a better freight by touching at Marseilles. Whereupon Reuben orders him to go thither, promising to join him at that port in a fortnight. A fortnight only for Rome, for Florence, for Pisa, for the City of Palaces, and then the marvellous Cornice road along the shores of the sea. Terracina brought back to him the story of Mr. Alderman Popkins and the Principessa, and the bandits ; after this came the heights of Albano and Soracte, and there, at last, the Tiber, the pyramid tomb, the great...
Side 29 - ... generous spirit not wholly quenched in him, had entered upon a glowing little speech in praise of the old gentleman and of his profession, — a speech which, if it were garnished with here and there an objectionable expletive, was very earnest and did him credit. " Good for Reuben ! " the party had cried out. " Get him a pulpit ! " " Hang me, if he would n't preach better now than the old man ! " said one. " And a deuced sight livelier,
Side 3 - But he has seen other French women, Adele, and he fears their influence." Adele looked keenly at the spinster for a moment, as if to fathom the depth of this reply, then burst into tears. " Oh, why, why did n't he take me with him ? " But this she says under breath, and to herself, as she rushes into the Doctor's study to question him. " Is it true, New Papa, that papa thought badly of Madame Aries ? " " Not personally, my child, since he had never seen her. But, Adaly, your father, though I fear...
