For, with Arthur's sensitiveness to opinion, the loss of Adam's respect was a shock to his self-contentment which suffused his imagination with the sense that he had sunk in all eyes as a sudden shock of fear from some real peril makes a nervous woman afraid even to step, because all her perceptions are suffused with a sense of danger. Arthur's, as you know, was a loving nature.
The business in Gloucester realised more than she could have expected, and she settled down in the placid surroundings of Overton with no care in the world but Arthur's future.
But there was no love in my own heart, nothing but loathing for the foul Thing which had taken Lucy's shape without her soul. I could see even Arthur's face grow hard as he looked. Presently he said to Van Helsing, "Is this really Lucy's body, or only a demon in her shape?" "It is her body, and yet not it. But wait a while, and you shall see her as she was, and is."
"And you have more sense than to let the airs and nonsense of his bairn-wife vex you?" Graeme was silent a moment. She did not care to enter upon the subject of Arthur's wife just at this time. "I don't think you quite understand Fanny, Janet," said she, hesitating. "Weel, dear, maybe no. The bairns that I have had to deal with have not been of her kind.
Meadows at once took her at her word.

Dorchester Heights were to my youthful imagination almost as holy ground as Arthur's Seat or Salisbury Craigs.
And then came in the King of Scots and the King of Ireland on Arthur's party, and against them came the King of Northumberland, and the King with the Hundred Knights smote down the King of Northumberland, and the King with the Hundred Knights smote down King Anguish of Ireland.
No lack of sight can quench the image in its victim's brain of Achilles' greeting to the owners of the two voices. His sister has her fair share of it no more! but her friend gets an accolade of a piece with the one she received that morning by Arthur's Bridge, three weeks since. So his owner's brain-image says, confirmed by sounds from without.
Arthur's great hit at the Central Criminal Court was the topic in the junior circles at Railsford's for some days. It was hardly to be expected that Sir Digby Oakshott would share in the general admiration which fell to his friend's lot.
Now ye shall wit that that very duke and his six sons are they whom but few days past you also did overcome and send to Arthur's court!" "Why, Sandy, you can't mean it!"
