She could have given a straight answer, but instead she hedged.
recoil to move
back suddenly and violently, or react instinctively with fear, horror, disgust, or distaste; Ashe leaned toward her, she instinctively recoiled.
He flinched at the needle's prick. I’m not a coward, and I don't flinch from facing trouble. Quail to tremble
with or feel fear or apprehension; Her voice was strong and firm, but she quailed inwardly. Preston quailed at the thought of being caught. Shrink to
move back and away, especially out of disgust, fear, or horror, or be unwilling or reluctant to do something, especially something difficult or unpleasant; She shrank away from the intruder in terror. It was not the work I shrank from, but the lack of freedom that the job entailed. Wince to make
an involuntary movement away from something because of pain or fear, or feel embarrassment; He shook his head and winced as she touched the cut. Charles winced at the thought of what he was going to do.

The head is noble, well-sized, broad, and large behind the ears. The face, cleanshaven, shows a hard, square chin, a large resolute, mobile mouth, a good-sized nose, rather straight, but with quick, sensitive nostrils, that seem to broaden as the big bushy brows come down and the mouth tightens. The forehead is broad and fine, rising at first almost straight and then sloping back above two bumps or ridges wide apart, such

They were a hundred times more terrible in the grim silence which held them than even when they howled. For myself, I felt a sort of paralysis of fear. It is only when a man feels himself face to

Somewhere in France lay buried the tenderest heart, the manliest man There was no moon, but the long summer twilight had not yielded entirely to the darkness and the stars were especially bright. Her face looked ethereally beautiful in the faint light. I knew she meant to make Dicky regret that he could not accompany her. Long after I have forgiven a wrong done to me, or an unpleasant experience, the bitter memory of it comes back to torment me. I fancied there was something in
his manner the tolerance of which would savor of disloyalty to Dicky "That's about the meanest slur I ever heard," I read the riot act to her after you left. "'I shall not return any blow you may give me, Mr. Graham, so please please do not do anything you will will regret regret when you recover yourself! yourself!'' her history had revealed to me to what lengths she would go in loyalty to a friend. I decided to be guided by his attitude. If he were opposed to my course, I would know that my actions had ceased to be resentful to
him, and I would accept the position. But if he showed willingness at the proposit proposition— ion— When I am most angry, a diabolically aggravating spirit seems to possess possess me. me. I could feel it enmeshing me. "Please don't be melodramatic, Dicky," I said mockingly, "and if you have quite finished, I will go." If I only could be sure that pique pique at an an employee's failure to report to him was at the bottom of his sulkiness! "Your mother has shown such eagerness for my society that no doubt she will be
heartbroken if she awakens and finds that I am not here." But one of my faults or virtues—I never have been able to decide which —is the persisten persistence ce with which I stick to a plan, once I have decided upon it. The slightest heightening of the color in her cheek, a quickly-veiled flash of her eyes in his direction— these things I noticed in the short time she was in the room with us. She evidently was a hospitable soul. Tacitly we had avoided all discussion of Grace Draper, I felt my anger fuse to a white heat against
both my husband and Lillian. I resolutely put away from my mind
He’s my dream and my companion, my lover and my friend. He’s a devoted father, but more than that, he’s my ideal husband. I can’t describe the comfort I feel when he takes me in his arms, or how I look forward to lying down beside him at night. There’s an unshakable humanity about him, a faith in the goodness of life, and it breaks my heart to imagine him alone.
I pray that the boundless love I feel for them will somehow make it possible. If you love Alex now, then love him forever. Make him laugh again, and cherish the time you spend together. Take walks and ride your bikes, curl up on the couch and watch movies beneath a blanket. Make him breakfast, but don’t spoil him. Let him make breakfast for you as well, so he can show you he thinks you’re special. Kiss him and
make love to him, and consider yourself lucky for having met him, for he’s the kind of man who’ll prove you right I’ve lived a full, happy life and experienced the kind of love that many people will never know My dearest Alex, There are dreams that visit us and leave us fulfilled upon waking, there are dreams that make life worth living. You, my sweet husband, are that dream, and it saddens me to have to
put into words the way I feel about you. I’m writing this letter now, while I still can, and yet I’m not sure how to capture what I want to say. I’m not a writer, and words seem so inadequate right now. How can I describe how much I love you? Is it even possible to describe a love like that? I don’t know, but as I sit here with pen in hand, I know that I have to try. I know you like to tell the story of how I played hard to get, but when I think back on the night we first
met, I think I realized even then that we were meant to be together. I remember that night clearly, just as I can recall the exact sensation of your hand in mine, and every detail of the cloudy afternoon at the beach when you dropped to one knee and asked me to become your wife. Until you came along, I never knew how much I’d been missing. I never knew that a touch could be so meaningful or an expression so eloquent; I never knew that a kiss could literally
take my breath away. You are, and always have been, everything I’ve always wanted in a husband. You’re kind and strong and caring and smart; you lift my spirits and you’re a better father than you know. You have a knack with children, a way of making them trust you, and I can’t express the joy it has brought me to see you holding them as they fall asleep on your shoulder. My life is infinitely better for having you in it. And that’s what makes all of this so hard; it’s why
I can’t seem to find the words I need. It scares me to know that all of this will be ending soon. I’m not simply scared for me, though— I’m scared for you and our children, too. It breaks my heart to know that I’m going to cause you all such grief, but I don’t know what I can do, other than to remind you of the reasons I fell in love with you in the first place and express my sorrow at hurting you and our beautiful children. It pains me to think that your love for me
will also be the source of so much anguish. But I truly believe that while love can hurt, love can also heal… and that’s why I’m enclosing another letter. Please don’t read it. It’s not meant for you, or our families, or even our friends. I highly doubt that either of us has met the woman to whom you will give this letter. You see, this one is meant for the woman who eventually heals you, the one who makes you whole again. Right now, I know you can’t imagine
something like that. It might take months, it might take years, but someday, you’ll give that letter to another woman. Trust your instincts, just as I did on the night you first walked up to me. You’ll know when and where to do that, just as you’ll know which woman deserves it. And when you do, trust me when I say that somewhere, somehow, I’ll be smiling down on both of you. Love, Carly

I have no idea that fortune would smile so warmly upon me this evening How does the day find you Sure is a beautiful day, Oasis to my thirsty eyes. Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure pleasure in other people's people's sins, sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Jamie was the the truest essence of that very description.

His plea cut her to the core, and she let out an involuntary cry.
However much we describe and explain love,
Man plans a stratagem, and thereby snares himself; What he takes for life turns out, to be destruction. He shuts the door after his foe is in the house Our eyes are subject to many infirmities; Go! Annihilate your sight in God's sight. For our foresight His foresight is a fair exchange; In His sight is all that ye can desire. In his sight that was all a lover can behold
To worry with precaution is toil and moil;
When we fall in love we are ashamed of our words.
Go, trust in Providence, trust is the better part.
Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear,
The quantum quantum of of reason ye possessed is lost,
But love unexplained is clearer.
And the head whose reason has fled is a tail.

leisure for thinking, not doing, for spinning brightly colored dreams that had in them no touch of reality. He moved in an inner world that was more beautiful than Georgia and came back to reality with reluctance. He looked on people, and he neither liked nor disliked them.

, subject to a particular particular sort sort of acquired and an definable tact. It is asked, “If you do not know the rule by which a thing is is done, how can you be sure of of doing it a second time?” And the answer is, “If you do not know the muscles by the help help of which you walk, how is to you do not fall down at every step you take?” And take my word for this, reader, and say a fool told it you, if you please, please, that he who hath not a dram of folly in his mixture, hath pounds of of much worse matter in his composition I venerate an honest obliquity of

The fear was gone, replaced by a glorious rage.

"I want to hold you hard to me and kiss you, and never let you go. I want to take you to my bed and use you like a whore, 'til I forget that I exist. And I want to put my head in your lap and weep like a child." Precious as opal, smooth as jade, weighty as a river stone, more fragile than a bird's egg. "But I talk to you as I talk to my own soul," "And, Sassenach," he whispered, "your face is my heart."
The evidence at hand bore out this statement.
I'll thank ye to keep a civil tongue when ye speak of the lady "You look like you've a halo, with the light behind ye that way," he said, softly. "An angel crowned with gold." "My love," he whispered. "Oh, my love. I do want ye so." "Not the same thing, is it?" I said. "Loving and wanting, I mean." Idleness would have seemed not only a sign of moral decay, but an affront to the natural order of things. Their shared childhood linked them forever, like

And I think that respect has maybe room for secrets, but not for for lies. lies. It was no romantic pledge he had made me, but the blunt promise promise to to guard my safety at the cost of his own. "Ah," he said again, with a completely different tone. He ran a hand slowly up my arm and up the side of my neck, his thumb gently tickling the lobe of my ear. "So we might." "If you aren't too hungry," I said. The other hand found its way behind my my back. Palm spread, it pressed pressed me gently toward him, fingers

His mouth opened slightly and he breathed, ever so lightly, down the neck of my dress, his warm due in part That made me relieved that looks in fact cannot kill With the deadly precision precision of an an automated mincing machine, he arranged each charge of the dittay on the slab of his scrutiny and diced it ruthlessly into shreds with the blade of statute and the cleaver of precedent precedent "What may I have the pleasure of doing for you?" He was entirely still. Still as a lion is still, part of the grass of the plain, its stare hot and unblinking as the sun that burns the veldt. And I saw something move in the depths of his eyes. The telltale twitch of the
stalking cat, the tiny jerk of the tuft at the end of the tail, precursor to carnage. I must hold his offer of employment in the deepest Gratitude With a moue of distaste He wove and dodged, lithe as a snake, sword striking like a silver fang. Jamie was just as fast, amazing grace in such a tall man, light-footed and sure-handed. I watched, rooted to the ground, afraid to cry out for fear of distracting Jamie's attention. They spun in a tight circle of stroke and parry, feet touching lightly as a dance on the turf. The gray cloud that had surrounded me since the miscarriage seemed to draw closer, wrapping me in swaddling
folds that dimmed the light of the brightest brightest day. Sounds seemed to reach me faintly, like the far-off ringing of a buoy through fog at sea. I half-turned; he was almost upon me. The soft gray numbness around me quivered, and I felt a sort of frozen panic at the thought that the sight of him might rip it away from me. If it did, I would die, I thought, like a grub dug up from the soil and tossed onto a rock to shrivel, naked and defenseless in the sun. I could feel my gray wrappings being inexorably inexorably stripped away, and small, bright streaks of pain shot through me like lightning bolts piercing piercing clouds. clouds. The light had shone through her skin as well, glowing in the roundness of cheek and buttock with the light
that pearls have; still and cool, with the strange touch of the water world still on them. I knew that, even as I fought to hold the gray shroud around me. Fighting only hastened its dissolution; it was like grasping shreds of cloud, that vanished in cold mist between my fingers. I could feel the light coming, blinding and searing. He was silent then, but I could could feel the the pain inside inside him, sharp as crystal spears of ice. He was wide at the shoulder and narrow at the hip, with long, powerful powerful haunches haunches slightly dented by muscles held taut even as he relaxed. The small, warm breeze stirred stirred the the drying tufts of soft cinnamon hair beneath his his arms, arms, and ruffled the copper and gold that
waved gently over his wrists, where they braced his head Well, the thought of you lying with the King hurt worse than the brand on my breast, or the cut of the lash on my naked back. But the knowledge that ye thought ye couldna trust me to love you is like waking from the hangman's noose to feel the gutting knife sunk in my belly. But his eyes held mine, tearless and open, boundless as the salt sea. His body held mine captive, driving me before his strength, like the west wind in the sails of a bark. And I voyaged into him, as he into me, so that when the last small storms of love began to shake me, he cried out, and we rode the waves together as one flesh, and saw
ourselves in each other's eyes. I knew that words were of limited value, no matter how true they might be. Something more concrete was needed for reassurance. Healing comes from the healed; not from the physician Whether it was health of mind or body, the love love of him was necessary to me as breath or blood. My My mind reached out for him, sleeping or waking, and finding him, was satisfied. My body flushed and glowed, and as it came to full life, it hungered for his Jamie laced his hands together, elbows braced on his knees, and rested his chin on his linked knuckles. "In the kingdom of the blind, the oneeyed man is king."
"When no one knows what to do, anyone with a sensible suggestion is going to be listened to." A parry and a dodge and a quick upward beat that knocked the pressing pressing blade aside, and Dougal stepped forward, forcing Jamie back a pace Dougal pressed his advantage with a double lunge, forcing Jamie back toward the edge of the courtyard. Jamie stepped quickly to one side, struck Dougal's blade away with one beat, then then slashed slashed back the other other way, with a speed that sent the blade of his broadsword through the cloth of Dougal's right sleeve. There was a loud ripping noise, and a strip of white linen hung free, fluttering in the breeze.
"Don't despair. I will be with you always, watching you, loving you. Don't cry, my dearest." Let me tell ye in your sleep how much I love you. For there's no so much I can be saying to ye while ye wake, but the same poor words, again and again. While ye sleep in my arms, I can say things to ye that would be daft and silly waking, and your dreams will know the truth of them. Go back to sleep,mo duinne ." he asked softly. "It's me that has the easy part now. For if ye feel for me as I do for you—then I am asking you to tear out your heart and live without it." His hand stroked my hair, the roughness of his knuckles catching in the blowing strands. strands. "But ye must do it,mo duinne . My brave lioness. Ye must.

"Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well." He looked up from the stark page to see her eyes, wide and unseeing as a deer's fixed in the headlights of an oncoming car.
Anything Anything less resembling vengeance vengeance incarnate than Hobart MacKenzie could scarcely be imagined. I had seen
everything with that clarity that attends tragedy; every detail fixed in my mind's eye, to be shown again and again, always with that halfconscious feeling that this time, I should be able to alter it. I merely snorted at this piece of prevarication, and sat down next to him on another chunk of granite. "I keep thinkingis it my fault? Have I sinned so greatly, wanting you so much, needing ye more than life itself?" When I took ye, not caring did you want me or no, did you have somewhere somewhere else to be, someone else to love." "Besides," I added, pulling back and looking looking up at him a moment later, "I'm not bloody going back, so what could you
do about it, anyway?" then we were both quiet for quite some time. "I want ye so badly that sometimes sometimes I think my heart will burst wi' the joy of having ye," "And I came back for love," I said. "Do you think I needed you any less, only because I could feed myself?" Bree, you are worth everything-and more.
her impression of our social position evidently going up by leaps and bounds. "Discretion is the better part part of valor," "You are mv courage, as I am your conscience," he whispered. "You are mv heart-and I your
compassion. We are neither of us whole, alone. 'Man is like the grass of the field,' " he quoted softly, brushing the slender stem over mv knuckles, where they rested against his chest. " 'Todav it blooms; tomorrow it Wlithers and is cast into the oven.' "So long as my body lives, lives, and yours-we arc one flesh -A-nd when my body shall shall cease, cease, my soul will still be yours. Claire-I Claire-I swear by my hope of heaven, I will not be parted from you." he understood all too well the razor's edge between fear and curiosity, the pull between between the need to know and the fear of finding out. The fog had settled in his chest; he was breathing ice, crystal needles piercing heart and lungs.
"You didn't want to hear it, did you?" Something between between sickness and ftiry stirred in his gut, and then erupted. People spoke of night filling, but it didn't, reallv. Darkness rose, filling first the hollows, then shadowing the slopes, creeping imperceptibly up tree trunks and fenceposts as night swallowed the ground and rose Lip to join the greater dark of the star-spread sky above Lord John had been nothing nothing but courtesy itself to me I have never tasted anything half so delicious
He swallowed the heart that had risen into his throat, and reached for his sporran.

‘What a sad blow it would be to my vanity if you found I could be just as easily mistaken as anyone else! You must let me keep my own counsel until I am certain. ‘Very pretty, my lord, but I have frequently been forced to observe the remarkable disparity that exists between my notions of what is horrid, and yours. I beg you will not hesitate to tell me how odious has been my conduct!
‘I am persuaded I might rely on your good sense not to do so,’ he returned. You must not think that I always prevaricate, for I only do so when I am obliged to.’ when Helen, at all times and under all circumstances, evinced for me a quiet and faithful friendship, which ill-humour never soured, nor irritation never troubled? It opened clear on my comprehension that Helen Burns was numbering her last days in this world, and that she was going to be taken to the region of spirits, if such region there were. I experienced a shock of horror, then a strong thrill of grief,
then a desire — a necessity to see her; and I asked in what room she lay. a profound stillness pervaded the vicinity. While I tried to devour my tears, a fit of coughing seized Helen But this is not to be a regular autobiography. I am only bound to invoke Memory where I know her responses will possess some degree of interest; therefore I now pass a space of eight years almost in silence: a few lines only are necessary to keep up the links of connection. it was not the power to be tranquil which had failed me, but the reason for tranquillity was no more. I surveyed the grounds laid out like a
map: the bright and velvet lawn closely girdling the grey base of the mansion; the field, wide as a park, dotted with its ancient timber; the wood, dun and sere, divided by a path visibly overgrown, greener with moss than the trees were with foliage; the church at the gates, the road, the tranquil hills, all reposing in the autumn day's sun; the horizon bounded by a propitious sky, azure, marbled with pearly white. No feature in the scene was extraordinary, but all was pleasing.
Unshaken firmness, devoted diligence, unwearied perseveranc e, unceasing care, were the very qualifications on which I
had secretly prided myself; and by which I had hoped in time to overcome all difficulties, and obtain success at last. I wished to say something in my own justification justification;; but in attempting to speak, I felt my voice falter; and rather than testify any emotion, or suffer the tears to overflow that were already gathering in my eyes, I chose to keep silence, and bear all like a selfconvicted culprit. I had been seasoned by adversity, and tutored
by experience, and I longed to redeem my lost honour in the eyes of those whose opinion was more than that of all the world to me. All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity, that the dry, shrivelled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut. Whether this be the case with my history or not, I am hardly competent to
judge. I sometimes think it might prove useful to some, and entertaining to others; but the world may judge for itself. Shielded by my own obscurity, and by the lapse of years, and a few fictitious names, I do not fear to venture; and will candidly lay before the public what I would not disclose to the most intimate friend.
By dint of pinching here, and scraping there, our debts were already nearly paid But this rendered it
only the more piquant to me The 31st 31st of January was a wild, tempestuous day: there was a strong north wind, with a continual storm of snow drifting on the ground and whirling through the air. After a considerable time we paused again, before the stately portico of a large house with long windows descending to the ground. It seemed to me a chilling and unnatural piece of punctilio
between the children of a family and their instructor and daily companion; To begin begin with with the head: Mr. Murray was, by all accounts, a blustering, roystering, country squire: a devoted foxhunter, a skilful horse jockey and farrier, an active, practical farmer, and a hearty bon vivant . Miss Murray, otherwise Rosalie, was about sixteen when I came, and decidedly a very pretty girl; and in two years longer, as time more completely
developed her form and added grace to her carriage and deportment, she became positively beautiful; and that in no common degree. She was tall and slender, yet not thin; perfectly formed, exquisitely fair, though not without a brilliant, healthy bloom; her hair, which she wore in a profusion of long ringlets, was of a very light brown inclining to yellow; her eyes were pale blue, but so clear and bright that few would wish them darker; the rest of her features were small,
not quite regular, and not remarkably otherwise: but altogether you could not hesitate to pronounce her a very lovely girl. I wish I could say as much for mind and disposition as I can for her form and face. Not only the certainty of brain but the peace of heart. Given the myriad of thoughts churning in her head, it was not an easy task. Power resides where men thinks it reside…. It’s a shadow on the wall…
