This I charge thee: watch thy wife, and hold her back from witchcraft and from dealings with evil things and trolls of darkness. She is of Finnish blood and the women of the Finns are much given to such wicked work."
"Hurry is not the handsomest mortal in the world, by many; and there are officers in the garrisons " Judith stammered at the words "there are officers in the garrisons, near us, far comelier than he.

Rarely among the loungers in the Champs Elysees could be seen a finer form, a comelier face, an air of more unmistakable distinction. The eyes of many a passing fair one gazed on him, admiringly or coquettishly.
Sir Austin had this gift. He spoke as if he saw the truth, and, persisting in it so long, he was accredited by those who did not understand him, and silenced them that did.

There was some little preparation, and then Griffith was ushered into Mercy's room, and found her in bed, looking a little pale, but sweeter and comelier than ever. She had the bedclothes up to her chin. "You look wan, my poor lass," said he; "what ails ye?" "Naught ails me now thou art come," said she, lovingly. Griffith put the bag on the table.
