But there are men alas! few and far between who possess the rare art of giving good dinners good in the sense of sociality as well as in that of cookery.

The defects in her character became more and more visible. She reproached me for the solitude to which I condemned her; our poverty galled her; she had no kind greeting for me when I returned at evening, wearied out. Before marriage she had not loved me; after marriage, alas! I fear she hated.
So long as the present state of things continues, alas! there can be no such celebrations. The Church is in mourning.

Her heart still beat violently, as though at any moment it might break; and she crept back towards the entrance, where she might breathe the free, fresh air. Suddenly she realised, to the full, that the day's bitter experiences were not a dream the scent of the human hand remained on her brush, her fur was damp and matted with meal-dust, and, alas! her little ones were missing from her side.
Edward and his little troop threaded safely the formidable pass. Alas! This explanation is borne out by the Warkworth Chronicler and others, who, in an evident mistake of the person addressed, state that Clarence wrote word to Warwick not to fight till he came.
