"But," said Raybold, in explaining the delay, "Corona is very different from me. In my actions 'the thunder's roar doth crowd upon the lightning's heels, as William has told us."

And after that he made no more Avonian quotations to Mrs.
If anything could make one sick of "the next age," it would be the shabby treatment which the Avonian has received.
