There was, indeed, one night after dinner when for a salient moment I had hopes of something different.

No mo' niggerisms fer me, ma'am!" "Hold your tongue, Ca'line," said Mrs. Lightfoot, sternly; "and, Rhody, you ought to be ashamed of yourself to talk so before your Miss Betty."

Prince Andrew several times prompted Pierre's story of what he had been doing, as though it were all an old-time story, and he listened not only without interest but even as if ashamed of what Pierre was telling him. Pierre felt uncomfortable and even depressed in his friend's company and at last became silent.

Each must render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's even as each would render unto God the things that are God's.

Pulling at a handle within her reach, she said, with a pleased laugh: 'Now here, for instance, is a grown-up that's my particular friend! and Lizzie Hexam in a black dress entered the room. 'Charley! You! Taking him to her arms in the old way of which he seemed a little ashamed she saw no one else. 'There, there, there, Liz, all right my dear. See! Here's Mr Headstone come with me.

It was difficult to tell who was cheered most heartily the fair young wife whose beauty won all hearts, the noble husband, or the gallant earl whose pride and delight in his daughter were so great.
