Excerpt from Oak Mot
Very much, indeed, he added with more colour in his poor pale face.
On the whole, I am glad you were not there on the top of the hill with them that morning, to see the swift look Edward Beach gave his sick brother Adry as he feebly spoke the words. Even that clear, bright morning, with all that lovely scenery around him for the first time, could not keep Edward from doing that.
Not that it hurt Adry with Prosy, by far his favourite Sister, beside him, it was little attention he gave to any one else, even to his father or mother. Such a look as that hurt the one who gave it far more than it could have done Adry, even if Adry had seen it. It is like firing a musket that kicks to give any one an evil blow, or word, or even look; it is the one who gives it who is always hurt the most. Remember the last time you were guilty of such a thing, how badly you felt and it will be so as long as you live.
