In one of Robertson of Brighton's letters, he tells of a lady who related to him "the delight, the tears of gratitude, which she had witnessed in a poor girl to whom, in passing, I gave a kind look on going out of church on Sunday. What a lesson! How cheaply happiness can be given! What opportunities we miss of doing an angel's work!
Goldwin Smith among the number, rest and peace in a magnificent city built for enjoyment, what more could we have asked to make our visit memorable? Many watering-places look forlorn and desolate in the intervals of "the season." This was not the time of Brighton's influx of visitors, but the city was far from dull.

"I could give you another room next week. Brighton's very full just now, and people have to take what they can get." "If it were only for a few days, Philip, I think we might be able to manage," said Mildred. "I think two rooms would be more convenient. Can you recommend any other place where they take boarders?" "I can, but I don't suppose they'd have room any more than I have."
Anthony knew of it from the days when we studied law together and he came back determined to make that property his. I will not deny that he had some slight basis for his claim. He would accept no compromise or offer of purchase, so in the end Jasper gave in to him." Cousin Jasper had not spoken throughout Tom Brighton's recounting of the whole affair.
Janet was curled up in a big armchair in the library, enjoying a book, when he came in. She looked up at him rather curiously, but only said: "Eleanor Brighton's mother telephoned at half past three that Eleanor had been detained somewhere, she didn't quite know where. She was very apologetic and hoped we would come some other time. I walked down the road to look for you, but you weren't in sight.
Later we heard that he had become involved with his scheme even before he spoke to us, that he had made himself liable for a sum of money, and that, to pay it don't wince, Jasper, these children must know the truth to pay it he forged Felix Brighton's name. "There is something very terrible in the sudden destruction of your confidence in some one you have loved and trusted.
He was seeing how, little by little, he had built up the wrong that was to be his ruin, he had driven away his friends, he had seized the land, he had turned off its guardian, and now, in a wild whirlwind, the results of his misdoing were upon him. He did not look at Tom Brighton's set face but at Jasper Peyton, the one he had wronged most. "A man can't live without friends," he said.
The boy noticed, also, as they sat together, that Anthony was like the others in certain ways, that his eyes could light with the same merriment as Cousin Jasper's, and that his chin was cut in the same determined line as Tom Brighton's. Yet no there was something about his face that never could be quite like theirs.
Ted shouted over and over again, just as the Brighton lads had been wont to yell in unison at their football games when the opposing eleven was smashing its way toward Brighton's goal. Once again the coil was ready; once again it was flung outward from the deck of the Dewey. This time it fairly lashed Jack's face. The sting of the hemp seethed to whip new courage into him.
