Stebbins, and they knew profusely more from the evening papers. "I think our boy’d better have come home for his Easter," Aunt Mary remarked, with a species of angry undertow threading the current of her speech. "There’s no sayin’ what this will cost before we’re done with it." Arethusa choked; it was all so very terrible to her.
Always, in a storm, one of Miss Letitia's first duties was to bulwark Miss Asenath who could not get pillows for herself, and so the latter was almost buried in them. Miss Asenath passed one of her many over to Arethusa, who sat on it obediently.
C. understood the symbol, and smiled in return. The above poem is thus printed in the last edition of 1835, by which the two may be compared, and the reader will perhaps think that the alterations are not improvements. I asked my fair one happy day, What I should call her in my lay? By what sweet name from Rome or Greece: Lalage, Nesera, Chloris, Sappho, Lesbia, or Doris, Arethusa, or Lucrece.
The complexion is dazzlingly fair, the perfect transparent rosette lily of a red-haired beauty; the head, with hair elaborately curled and plaited close to it, and adorned with pearls, sits like that of the antique Arethusa on a long, supple, swan-like neck.
"He just gads from one dance to another, all over the county, and he's taken to calling on the town girls. That little visit he made to you in the city had a very bad effect on him, too." And then with a very little thought, Arethusa knew just what was wrong with her home-coming. It was Timothy.

Seems like I’ll go mad with wantin’ to be somewhere else. I can see Jack gets his disposition straight from me." There was a sigh and a pause. "I shall die," Aunt Mary then declared with violence, "if I don’t have a change.
It was Arethusa Wiggins. Now the old man always called her "Arry," which sounded like the vulgar pronunciation of "Harry." Of course I couldn't call her that, and Arethusa was too infernally long, for a fellow doesn't want to be all day in pronouncing his wife's name.

So great had been her anxiety and agitation that for some time she had not thought of another being in the room, and there had been no sound from him to suggest his existence. But now his voice startled her. She gave no answer, however. "Arethusa!" repeated Dacres, gently and longingly and tenderly. "Poor fellow!" thought Mrs. Willoughby; "he's dreaming."

"Where’s Joshua? Is he got back from Arethusa? Answer me, Lucinda."
But even had the other dreadful thing occurred, it would have been the most careless searcher who would have failed to discover just who Arethusa was and where she belonged, after Miss Letitia had finished her labeling, in slanting, old-fashioned letters on neatly bound-down squares of white linen.
