The mission to England was promised him by the reigning powers, when, on the very eve of securing his prize, a stick was put in the wheels of his progress, and by a brother's hand. Another legal personage, practicing at the same bar, that of New York, and a friend, did the deed. "Chloe was false, Chloe was common, but constant while possessed"; but here Chloe was without the last quality.
"Why didn't they give her some kind of a Christian name?" she began suddenly. "Don't you suppose it is French for the plain, old-fashioned, sensible name of Dorothy?" Betty laughed. "Oh, Aunt Priscilla, it's pure Greek. Doris and Phyllis and Chloe " "Phyllis and Chloe are regular nigger names," with the utmost disdain. "But Greek, all the same. Ask Uncle Winthrop."
Seeing that Elsie was really going, Sophy had put away her book, and was now ready to accompany her. She was quite a talker, and rattled on very fast until she saw Elsie take out her Bible; but then became perfectly quiet until Elsie was through with her devotions, and Chloe had come to prepare her for bed.
"Chloe and Peter will be here, mother; and I'll make Chloe sleep in Sam's room, and leave the door open; and when they go down to Dinah's, I'll lock up, and I shan't feel afraid in broad day." Mrs. Griswold shook her head doubtfully. "I'll see what father says," said she. So Lizzy lifted her head, and smoothed her hair, while her mother went out to the barn to consult "father."
Mammy Chloe from Florida, an Indian brave and squaw from British America, Laila from Jerusalem, Lady Geraldine of 1830 and Victoria of 1840.

We were at work there till evening, and I think we did some good.
Can it be a misstep, in the darkness, into the abyss between the land of waking and the land where there are nor years nor months nor days, where the soul abides in Lethe, save when some wing troubles the waters for a little while? I was wearied, with the weariness of one having come from long journeying. I closed my eyes again, and tried to sleep. Chloe looked in at me.
If it can be of any advantage to him in your favour to know the truth, I will just say a more useful seaman does not sail the ocean than Neb, and that I consider him as of much importance as the main-mast?" "What be dat, Masser Mile?" "I see nothing, Chloe there are no spooks at Clawbonny, you know." "No, sah! What b'e t'ing Neb like, fel-ler?" "Oh! I ask your pardon the main-mast, you mean.
Drusus was just letting Cappadox take off his cloak, when the shrill voice of Chloë was heard outside the door, expostulating with the boy on guard. "I must see the dominus at once. It's very important." "Don't you see, you idiot, that you can't while he's dressing?" "I must!" screamed Chloë. And, violating every law of subordination and decorum, she threw open the door.
Yet, with his invariable delicacy, in spite of all this horrible frankness, Sir Sedley had not said a word to wound what he might think the more sensitive part of my amour propre, not a word as to the inadequacy of my pretensions to think seriously of Fanny Trevanion.
