oportion to the greater strength of her present position. But Tom, like other immovable things, seemed only the more rigidly fixed under that attempt to shake him. Poor Tom! he judged by what he had been able to see; and the judgment was painful enough to himself. He thought he had the demonstration of facts observed through years by his own eyes, which gave no warning of their imperfection, that Maggie’s nature was utterly untrustworthy, and too strongly marked with evil tendencies to be safely treated with leniency. He would act on that demonstration at any cost; but the thought of it made his days bitter to him. Tom, like Darren Helm Jersey every one of us, was imprisoned within the limits of his own nature, and his education had simply glided over him, leaving a slight deposit of polish; if you are inclined to be severe on his severity, remember that the responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision. There had arisen in Tom a repulsion toward Maggie that derived its very intensity from their early childish love in the time when they had clasped tiny fingers together, and their later sense of nearness in a common duty and a common sorrow; the sight of her, as Fox Fur Škornji 5531 he had told her, was hateful to him. In this branch of the Dodson family aunt Glegg found a stronger nature than her own; a nature in which family feeling had lost the character of clanship by taking on a doubly deep dye of personal pride.
Mrs. Glegg allowed that Maggie ought to be punished — she was not a woman to deny that; she Bryan Bickell Jersey knew what conduct was — but punished in proportion to the misdeeds proved against her, not to those Jacques Plante Jersey which were cast upon her by people outside her own family who might wish to Lattice Cardy Škornji 5879 show that their own kin were better.
“Your aunt Duncan Keith Jersey Glegg scolded me so as niver was, my dear,” said poor Mrs. Boyd Gordon Jersey Tulliver, when she came back to Maggie, “as I didn’t go to her before; she said it wasn’t for her to come to me first. But she spoke like a sister, too; having she Canada Goose Whistler Parka allays was, and hard to please — oh dear! — but she’s said the kindest word as has ever been spoke Rivet Short Czyścibut 5829 by you yet, my child. For she says, for all she’s been so set again’ having one extry in the house, and making extry spoons and things, and putting her about in her ways, you shall have a shelter in her house, if you’ll go to her dutiful, and she’ll uphold you against folks as say harm of you when they’ve no call. And I told her I thought you couldn’t bear to see anybody but me, you were so beat down with trouble; Jamie Benn Jersey but she said, ‘I won’t throw ill words at her; there’s them out o’ th’ family ‘ull be ready enough to do that. But I’ll give her good advice; an’ she must be humble.’ It’s wonderful o’ Jane; for I’m sure she used to throw everything I did wrong at me — if it was the raisin-wine as turned out bad, or the pies too hot, or whativer it was.”
“Oh, mother,” said poor Maggie, shrinking from the thought of all the contact her bruised mind would have to bear, “tell her I’m very Dylan Larkin Jersey grateful; I’ll go Nikita Kucherov Jersey to see her as soolinks:
