Side 161 - I am only a girl and you are a man — a man with a wife and children depending on you — but I would have cut off my right hand before I would have wasted my time and strength and neglected every duty as you have done, just to give way to all this useless regret ! It is unworthy of you ; and however angry you may be to hear me say so, I feel as if I must !" " You are a bold speaker, miss,
Side 216 - said Henry Fletcher. " Henry is right," said Catherine. " Besides my dear, to take up your own point, you cannot do anything that will keep you. No one who has not a specialised education can make a reasonable income ; and so few women have a specialised education ! You, my darling, certainly have not.
Side 132 - ... from darkness to light, from imprisonment to freedom, from degradation and despair to life and love, by her aunt saying in her harshest manner ; " When you have quite finished staring at that envelope, Patricia ; perhaps you will attend to your uncle saying grace/' They had never had breakfast grace at Barsands ; but they had thanked God more through the day. Then the vision faded away, and she was once more Patricia the reputed forger, or at least the guilty accomplice ; once more a dependant...
Side 167 - P., and my young lord with the influence of his name, his earldom in the distance, and the flag flying from the Quest like royalty itself at home, defeated. Who says that the working man has not the power of station and riches in his hand if he chooses ! Good sense, energy, and will — and here you see him, the richest landed proprietor of Milltown, and MP for the borough ! The man's self-congratulations were inexhaustible, and even his closest adherents were weary of them. He was as if possessed...
Side 214 - She might do herself a mischief," in a whisper to Dora. And Dora answered, " Yes. It is better to send Bignold." How lucky it was that she thought of making Patricia mad ! Whatever she might say now Mr, Hamley would not believe her, and if she said too much she could easily get her locked up. Only the ravings of a diseased brain taking the false impressions characteristic of disease and accusing those who are the nearest and dearest of impossible crimes ! It was a happy thought, and she was infinitely...
Side 158 - A signal's an order," he said; and his hearers agreed with him that it was. As no commission of inquiry was appointed, and the private visiting-list of the Quest was not submitted to official inspection, the thing passed as an inadvertence, regrettable but by no means to be apologised for, even when the consequences became evident a week or so later, and the mistake in policy fructified so disastrously. By whose fault however it might have been that it came to pass, my lady's or the steward's, the...
Side 121 - ... do things by halves. What she said she generally meant, and she had not that kind of nature, morally severe and physically tender, which promises hard things and does soft ones. On the contrary, if her words were severe her actions ran them close; so that when she told Patricia she was cast out of her love and abandoned to herself — given her freedom on the one hand, but receiving desolation on the other — she said what her heart dictated ; and she acted up to it. Patricia was in very truth...
Side 202 - Dora pure, and ignorant of the awful chapter of further crime contemplated and announced, was of itself sorrow enough for a sincere nature ; but also, unselfish as she was, it did seem hard that she should be forced to sacrifice the appearance of honour — the thing which was dearest to her in life — for the reality, in maintaining the false repute of another. The dying woman plucked her feebly by the sleeve. " Tell me," she said. " Why do you trouble Dora about it?" Patricia lifted up her face,...
Side 160 - said Garth, lifting up his angry face. The word caught and stung him, not unwholesomely. " No, I dare say you are not ; I should not think you were," Patricia answered ; " at least not in the usual way. But whatever you may be in one way, you cannot say that this kind of thing is either brave or manly ! It does no good.
