While he was speaking a lioness wandered out from the cañon and up the opposite slope. She was somewhere between six and nine hundred yards away, and looked very tiny; but the binoculars brought us up to her with a jump. Through them she proved to be a good one. She was not at all hurried, but paused from time to time to yawn and look about her.
"Still, you see, I was worried about our affairs in the cañon." "The cañon!" repeated Violet reproachfully. "It is always the cañon. I wonder if you remember that it is at least a month since you have written a line to me." Nasmyth was disconcerted, for a moment's reflection convinced him that the accusation was true. "Well," he confessed, "I have certainly been shamefully remiss.
"Does a widow wish to be amused?" said Lady Belstone, indignantly. "And was she amused, dear lady?" asked the canon, anxiously. "When she saw our horror and dismay she smiled." "Did you call that a smile, Georgina? I called it a laugh. It takes almost nothing to make her laugh nowadays." "You would not wish her to be too melancholy," said the canon, almost pleadingly; "one so so charming, so "
They give color and charm to the otherwise monotonous West. I confess I couldn't live on the prairies not even on the plains if out of sight of the mountains. If I should ever settle down to a home it would be in a canon like this, with a great peak at my front door."

'I am glad to hear you admit so much, sir, retorted Mr. Honeythunder, in his most offensive manner; 'and I candidly tell you that I didn't expect it. Here he lowered heavily at Mr. Crisparkle again. 'Be so good as to explain what you mean by those very unjustifiable expressions.
This conduct, at the very outset of my career in the county, made me not a little popular; and the residentiary canon, who did me the favour to sup with me at the inn, went away after the sixth bottle, hiccuping the most solemn vows for the welfare of such a p-p-pious gentleman.
The fires were soon blazing under shelter of the overhanging rocks; and the dried meat was broiled for our suppers, and eaten with sufficient relish. Supper ended, we sat, with smoking garments, around the red embers. Several of the men had received wounds. These were rudely dressed by their comrades, the doctor having gone forward with the atajo. We remained for several hours by the canon.
We did not attempt it, but, making a landing in Deep Bay, took the safer portage around. At the end of a two-mile tramp we reached a clearing at the foot of the cañon where the loggers had camped at one time.
Immediately after the appearance of the second edition of The Ancient Church, a copy of it was sent to the late Rev. W. Cureton, D.D., Canon of Westminster the well-known author of various publications relating to the Ignatian Epistles.
But the churchmen who made the canon and the Fathers who argued about it very often gave mistaken reasons for facts in respect of which they nevertheless were right. They gave what they considered sound external reasons. They alleged apostolic authorship. They should have been content with internal evidence and spiritual effectiveness.
