I never realized before how perfectly helpless even brazen villainy is in the presence of womanly dignity." "Why, were you present then?" she asked, with a quick blush. "Not exactly present, but I saw your face and his, and a stronger contrast I scarcely expect to see again." "You artists look at everything and everybody as pictures." "Now, Miss Mayhew, you are growing severe again.
With what shame will that man stand before the judgment-seat of Christ, who must have all things he hath done against God to provoke the eyes of his glory to jealousy, laid open before the whole host of the heavenly train.
