'I wish you could have seen yourself!
By and by my wife comes with Willet, my wife in her velvett vest, which is mighty fine, and becomes her exceedingly.

"But that," said Priscilla, "would be just wishing this world were like heaven."
For here he would often join them, and the music he drew from his violin, weirdly passionate, with a pathos no words could ever utter, was to Anne the very expression of the man's complex being.

In rising to the Canon she had risen her highest; for the ex-member hardly counted; he was a fallen star.

Lady Anne opened the door of the usual sitting-room, and there, reclining in a chair, suffering apparently somewhat from sickness, they beheld Master Gresham himself. He rose to welcome Sir John, and to thank him for the favour which he had done him. It was no less, indeed, than having procured his acquittal from the charges which Lord Winchester and others had brought against him.
