Sayfa 174 - I will not see you poisoned or assassinated under my own eyes, and me standing looking on. You do not know what you are doing ; you do not know in whose hands you are trusting your life. You are throwing away the benefits of one of the most extraordinary dispositions of Providence which, under me, have ever been accomplished
Sayfa 80 - Why, no," said Arthur, smiling. " I seldom ask great favors from people with whom I am angry, and I am going to ask a great favor of you." James waited and wondered. " I have been very ill. I have been deceived by the doctors as to the cause of my illness. They told me that my heart was hopelessly deranged, and that my life was not worth a fortnight's purchase. This has turned out to be all a falsehood. I am as good a man as ever, with a new lease of life before me. I have merely overworked myself,...
Sayfa 238 - And his mother replied, still looking on the dead man, " You were a good friend to him, and I thank you, but I gave up more to him than you did. I am his widow." The Princess could not understand this at first, but began her loud singing again. The next thing which James noticed was Silcote himself, with his great square solemn face, looking down upon his dead son. Mrs. Silcote looked up in his face. " I won't reproach you more than I can help, my dear...
Sayfa 112 - My father, who hates boys beyond measure, has never interchanged fifty words with him altogether. / am my father's heir. /, who speak, come into entire possession of three-fourths of the whole property at my father's death. I objected to the arrangement, but he has persisted in it, and I have a letter upstairs from my father's lawyer assuring me of the fact ; written, I believe, by my father's orders, in consequence of some old and worthless papers having been stolen from his bedroom by his servants....
Sayfa 240 - But details. I do not know how to arrange matters. I never was at fault before, but I am infinitely shocked and distressed. It is inconceivable at present, but it will be terribly conceivable soon.
Sayfa 195 - Is he dead ? " said the Princess scornfully to James, coming up to him while he was quietly smoking in the sun in front of the Colonel's quarters at Pozzo d'Orno. " Is who dead ? " asked James, in surprise. " Your new friend, Colonel Silcote ; the man for whom I have sacrificed everything, and who has taken up with a boy like you ; excluding me, and refusing to see me. Is he dead ? " No, my lady. He is going on very well.
Sayfa 116 - Whether to go close to him to avoid his petards, or to keep away from him to avoid his knives, he could not in the least degree decide. He ended by pursuing the old English (and French) method of laying himself yardarm to the enemy, and boarding him suddenly. He went straight up to our apparently slumbering young friend, shook him by the shoulder, and said roughly and loudly in French, which will be better given in vernacular than with his pedantic illtranslated Oxfordisms — " Get up, sir ! How...
Sayfa 178 - James's ministrations, in the veiy way in which men, who have been spoilt by women all their lives, do demand the services of other people — and, in nine cases out of ten, get them. He took a strange fancy, almost a passion, for this son of his, thrown in his way so strangely, little dreaming why. The young man's eyes he remembered to be like other eyes not seen for twenty years ; but he had forgotten, or thought he had forgotten, his deserted wife's voice ; yet James's voice was strangely pleasant...
Sayfa 265 - I did from the squalor of my father's house, this was a fairy palace for me. True, there was an ogre ; my grandfather Silcote was the ogre ; but then I like ogres. There was a somewhat cracked princess — a real Italian princess — in velvet and jewels ; and I like people of that kind. Then there was a dark story, which we never could understand, which was to us infinitely charming ; there was almost barbarous profusion and ostentation, which everybody — I don't care — • everybody loves in...
Sayfa 130 - " The secret of taking a man away from himself, and giving him peace in that way. Some of them have done it, more or less viciously and artificially. These two good women have done it for me as well as any priest that ever was born. They have brought me back to the communion, a thing you never did. What fools you men-priests are ! Not one of you seems to have the sense to see that in a perfect state the priests would all be women. You men-priests would be in a queer way without them ; they are designed...
